PARTICULARS OP THAMES VALLEY FARM. 1901 ACRES—.£O 10s. PER ACRE. This propertv is situated sis miles from thriving township and railway station, and consists of 1901 ACRES Freehold, nnd iB a piece of as fino country as anyone could wish to clap eyes on. The situation is exceedingly good, lying as it does at the foot of the ran|;o; ;oeing in this position it gets a far greater rainfall than the rest of tho district, and also has the benefit of tho perpetual "wash-off" the hills—thus ensuring that the soil is always being renewed. Thero is a fino metalled road to the property. This property is known all over New Zealand for its famous fattening qualities. There is a vory small frontago to the main road, hiit the property widens out like a fan, and there is a private metalled road extending from the main road to\thc honse, a distance of one mile, nnd this road leads right through tho fattening paddockß—thus making it oariii'iilarlv easy to lay off dairy farms—giving this road as an access. This road is fenced for 'the wholo distanco both sides of the road with eight wire sheep-proof fencing. • 700 Acres of this property only felled and grassc-d last year, and is a perfect picture, thero being a magnificent 6ole. of grass. We understand that 501b. of seed to the acre was sown on this hush hum, and we never have seen anything finer than tho result; in all our experience. Under 200 Acres of bush still remain to be foiled on tho property in various clumps—the first piece being about 70 Acres. This is all valuable good bush. . Tho general lie of the country' is about <00 Acres of rich fattening flats on the frontage; and .then there iB a low rango of hills rising gradually off the flat to an average height of about 100 ft. There are threo lagoons, several hundred yards in length, an theso tabic lands. There is only one corner of file property which could'be described as hilly, and that cousibcb of about 120 Acres, all of which, howeTor; is first-class sheep country. The formation on iho flats is all a rich gray deposit, and the wholo of this country has been tile drained. On tho hills, the formation iaarich chocolate loam, with a sort of limestone and stone rubhle running, through it. Tho sheep havo boon on the . place for 20 years, and this fact speakß for itself. A good portion of this place has been dained on by the lato owner, nnd on 1200 Acrcß. ho was carrying 150 dairy cows, 200 head of store cattle, aud 2000 shoop. We think that this will satisfy as to the carrying capacity, and thero was ample feed all through the winter. The Stock, which aro now on tho place, can l)C had at valuation:

BUILDINGS. The Buildings on this property are oxceptionallv pood. There is a really fine modern 10-rooraed house, having cvwy conyemcncc— »iot and cold water inside, w.c/s, and every sanitary convenience that can be desired.' 1 here is * also another 6-roomed houso suitable for working manager," or for anyone milking on shares, and also another 6-rocnied,house very much out of repair, hut .which would not take more tlinn JIIOO to put in order. These two buildings would be very useful if slutted on to other portions of the farm in the event ol it being-cut-up. There is a remarkably fine slied, concrete lloor. and exceptionally-fine lott, which vras originally built as a milking-sneu, arid eoniiins it bails. This shed has the water laid on both sides, so that:by turning a tap they could flush the,whole shed with a powerful stream of- water. This shed ha* a lean-to stable for machinery, and the whole . shed -would make one of the finest vroolsheds to bo seen, anywhere, with very little alteration. There is also another large cowshed (M bails), and a vanished with /'shearing machines installed, driven by lurbine, there being a fine and permanent flou- of water.
