This being part of the Tunanui Estate was selected about four years ago by Mr. shield, who since the day it was acquired has unremittingly attended to its development, in which neither capital nor labor has been spared, and with suprisingly satisfactory results ; the land which was then under strong fern is now thoroughly broken in, and for the most part sown with choicest varieties of English grass seeds ; a few Paddocks have been ploughed, and now show crops of Oats and Barley, while the bulk of the Estate is unquestionable first-class "Wheat land. The character of the soil generally is rich deep loam on strong clay, marl subsoil limestone and papa formation, undulating downs and plains ; numerous creeks and tributaries afford abundant water in the driest seasons, and small clumps of natural bush not only beautify the country, but also yield abundant firewood ; there is also a good natural road to the Puketetere Forest, distant 10 miles. The earlier broken land will now winter a minimum of three sheep per acre. The whole estate should do this within two more years were grass alona depended upon, but with the aid of mangolds or rape, for which the soil is proved to be admirably adapted, many more could be carried. Acres.

The dividing fences are most, substantial, and all in excellent order; the roads are good, and there is no engineering difficulty whatever in forming a branch railway. The climate of this part is most enjoyable; it has everv advantage of locality, laying about equi-distant from the Ruahine Ranges on the west, and the sea coast on the east ; it is indeed not only one of the most beautifully situated, but also for toil, of the choicest in the Northern Island, and. only under peculiar circumstances is thus placed in the market.

Mile End New Town, London, respectfully reminds the trade abroad that he ORIGINALLY INVENTED and PBE PARED the GRANULAR EFFERVESCENT CITRATE of .MAGNESIA. Since 1857 he has never ceased personally to superintend its manufacture, and the '.marked superiority of his brand over that of all the imitations in the market is admitted. The materials .employed are uniformly of the highest quality ; the granules are handsome in appearance and perf ctly .soluble, and the genuine preparation yields a draught i which, as a cooling and refreshing saline beverage of peculiarly pleasant flavor, is instantly distinguishable, from the imitations. ipR-l. Rkdwood, ' Professor of Chymistiy at the 'Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, thus writes : have examined a. great many samples of Mr. granulated preparations, •btained at various .tirnqs ahcf. from different sources, and have found •them't'J?
