H. W. BRIGGS, Land and Estate Agent. [ Established 1887. ] T BEG to notify those in search of land that I have a large number of places on my books for sale, consisting of farms suitable for dairying, sheep, and cultivation of crops. Full particulars of Government land open for selection with plans can be seen at my office, Main Street, Pahiatua. The following are a few nice places for sale : A perfect little farm of 277 acres. This is a place that can be used for a general mixed farm, there being about 90 acres of flat land of superior quality, 13 acres in grass, and almost clear of logs. The balance is of low hills of limestone formation—healthy country for sheep ; while the flat could be partly ploughed and partly used for dairying. It is fenced and divided into 10 paddocks, with plenty of water in each. There is a fourroomed cottage on the land, good wool-shed, and other outbuildings. About four acres are already ploughed. Price asked is low, and AT 100 at 5 per cent, can remain on mortgage for a number of years. 238 In the Mangahao, 450 acres of limestone land of very rich quality, ring-fenced and divided into 5 paddocks. There is about 30 acres of this lot perfectly level, of the finest quality of soil; has been in grass about 11 years ; and could be easily stumped and ploughed. The balance is low hills, with very easy slopes. A good number of dairy cows could be run. It is near a factory, school, post office and railway. Good hard road frontage, large new house, good woolshed, yards and garden.

There is about 350 acres more or less in grass of first-class quality; over two miles of fencing ; a good cottage of two rooms; cowshed ; also whare, out • house, and garden ; about an acre ploughed.
