No. VIII. 248 a 0 32p, all of which is in natural state. The Auctioneers, in drawing the nolice of intending purchasers to the sale of these undoubtedly magnificent Farms, would point out that the Spylaw Estate is situate on the north-west side of tbe well-known wheat, growing Crookston district, and within one mile of the Heriot Railway Station. It is not south of Dunedin, but on the same parallel, as may be seen from any map of Otago ; is well sheltered from the south-west winds, and the climate is decidedly warmer than on the Coast line. The extension of the railway line, which it is expected will take place almost immediately, will pies through the centre of the property. To show the high esteem in which land in the Crookston district is held, it may be mentioned that there is not a single section of Crown land available for settlement. For the growth of wheat, oats, grasses, and root crops the land cannot be excelled, and ?i ia tbe opinion of competent authorities that the Farms to be offered are equal iv many respects to the Oamaru limestone lands and the famous Taieri Plain The facilicies for working the farms are quite exceptional — the soil is first-class and very easily worked . Timber for fencing and building is cheap, and good coal is obtainable at a very reasonable cost j and the proximity to the Heriot Railway Station is another great advantage, as it enables cultivators to rail their produce or live stock to market or shipping port at small expense. The property will be offered either as a whole, or in eight lots as above, at the option of buyers, and Mr Clarke does not look for any " fancy prices." It is his intention to | accept values in accordance with the "times," i so that an bona Me purchaser need fear that the land will not be sold unless hiph prices ; are obtained. Teems.— Ten per cent, at the fall of the hammer ; 15 per cent, in one month ; 25 per cent, at end of one year ; 25 per cent, at two years ; 25 per cent, at thres years.
