It has been in Mr Sutton's possession for about 28 years, and has during that time been the home of his widely-known flock of Lincoln hheep. It is naturally one of the most fertile spots in Southland, and its great natural fertility has been enormously increased by the manner in which it has been worked. Mr Sutton has never grown grain for pale but only for consumption by his stock on the estate, and besides this he has from time to time purchased large quantities of grain for conBumption by his stud sheep, which has added largely to the fertility of the soil. The upset prices put on the land are far below its value, but Mr Sutton has made up his mind to leave the colony, and is determined to sell. He has fixed the extremely low upsets ac evidence to the public that he means business, and that HIS SALE IS PRACTICALLY AN \ UNRESERVED ONE.
