IN AGAIN OFFERING LAND IN SOUTHLAND FOR SALE XXTE feel even more confidence in doing so than we did formerly, for the results to those who have already PURCHASED FROM US ARE BEYOND OUR BEST EXPECTATIONS. In connection therewith we quote the flowing from the Timaru Herald : — "Settlement tn Southland.— lt is alwayß pleasing to hear of the well-doing of old friends. We reprint from the Malcmra Ensign an interesting account of the farms of a number of settlers formerly resident in P-"ith Canterbury. • Our reporter in his rounds recently visited Titipua Valley and the country between the Titipua and Hedgehope streams, a largo part of which was some two and a half years ago purchased and settled by Messrs Hall and Meason, of Canterbury. At that time there was not a settler, there was not a fence, there was not a Bod turned ; now in the particular part referred to there are upwards of 1200 acres under crop and broken up. Mr Coomer has close on 400 acres, about 160 of which are in crop, principally oats, which should run 50 bushels to the acre all round ; and competent judges say that in some parts the yield will reach 70 bushels per acre. His wheat should go 40 while some 30 acres of turnips are as fine as one could wish to see. The next farm is that of Mr Clarke, who has some 150 acres broken up and chiefly in oats, also looking well ; while next to him is Mr Allott, with a large block, also principally in oats, but wifcn some wheat, mostly looking well, especially the oats. The most interesting feature on this farm is a large overshoot waterwheel 12ft in diameter, built entirely by Mr Allott him self for chaffcutting and threshing purposes Next Mr Allott is Mr Duffell, who liai fenced and broken up a considerable block now fallow. Behind him is Mr Essery who has built a good house and brokei up some 150 acres for next year. Be hind him again is Mr Moorhead, with som« 130 acres of oats and more broken up Mr Allotfc and Mr Coomer have excellen gardens, which keep them supplied with al ordinary garden produce. Their potatoei it would be difficult to excel. They have als< planted a goodly number of forest tree3 principally pines, which are doing wonder fully well. All are now busy harvesting, anc in the course of a week or two the country— formerly a vast uncultivated waste inhabitcc by the rabbit and rabbiter— will present stacki of valuable corn in every direction. The Roac Board has lately done some good work ii making cuttings and bridges, which will en able produce to be brought easily to market Perhaps the roost marked effect of settlemen 1 both here and in other parts of Southland i: the almost total extinction of the rabbits bj systematic poisoning by phosphorised oats Where formerly one saw rabbits in every^ di rection, now you do not see half a dozen in £ day's ride. WE NOW HAVE 6300 ACRES, ■ Which we can Dispose of in FABMS of from ISO ACRES and Upwards. PRICE, £3 to JBS AN ACRE.

Another important point to consider is that with the price of grain as low as it is now, far more is to be made by Stock producing, than by grain ; and that there is no better grass and turnip land than in.
