FOR SALE AND FOR C K :TIKMENT. ABBA* "7RAL LAND m' • V rort - *.ti IN SOUTH 5..-V-D.

The land is from 20 mile" north to 16 mile* south of the latitude of th-; monfcn ot tin* Taieri River, and is all from 2 to 38 miles t*> the northwar'l of th", f'lntia River at it* mouth, liiVtircarni'l l>ein,» 3 miles (tve south of the latitude «>f the Cmtha, the average height above the sea level beioa 250 feet. The averaee quality of the soil is equal to any in the Australasiui Colonie3, and from climatic influences is capable of growing not merely excellent wheat, but first-class oats and barley, and is p»cnli «rly adapted for raising turnips and artificial grasses, thereby enabling the fanner to k-ep his land iu perfect heart by a rotation of cropping: manure his land by feeding off his green crops with sheep and cattle, and ke. p him independent of a " it! market for any particular cereal. A 1 over the district there is firstclass limestone cropping oat to fertilise thr land when it may require it. Forests _of large extent are scattered over it, providing timbers for t>uilding and fencing, and coal (lignite and the beat brawn coals) for fuel everywhere obtainable. The distrisfc is further intersected by railways, which open up the great valleys of Aparirna. Oreti, and Mataura Rivers; while a loot) line from the Invercargill to Kingston Railway at Lnmsdem runs through the Waimea Plains an'i joins the Tnvercargill to Dunedin main line at Gore, and a line through Forest Hiil District will be constructed shortly. Thus carriage of produce to the seaboard or market is easy and chean from any part of it; and timber, lime, and coal, can be distributed all over tho country .at a minimum cost. The average yield of cereals pnr acre, taken Iron the statistic* of the Colony for the year# J873 to IS7S, a* compared with Canterbury, are as follow : The subjoined tabic? give the average temperature at Invercargill, Donedin. anil Christchurch, the commercial litres of th. districts. It may be remarked that I?.vercargilt being situated close to r oveaux i>trails is exposed to more rainfall an* t wadden char ge? the interior of the district, only seven miles due north, where the climate is both drier and warmer, tut along the whole seaboard the lend is extremely fertile, and much prized for grass and root crop?. The experience of the last few years leads to the conviction that for all-round agriculture the mpply of rain by no means exceeds the requirementß of the laud. This year the thermometer at Invercargill h&3 averaged higher than any part of the Middle Island, and moat parts of the N..rth Island, while there has boon very considerably less rainfall than in any part of the Colony.
