FOR SALE ri n T> OUTTT VMTBWC, which, when cJeared, ia of superior qu."»lity for Agriculture The price of deferred payment land is 25b and SOs an acre. The land is from 20 miles north to 16 miles south of the latitude of the month or the Taieri Eiver, and is all from 2 to 38 miles to the northward of the Clutha River fit its mouth, Invercargill being 3 miles dne south of the latitude of the Clutha, the average height above the sea level being 250 feet. The average quality of the soil is equal to any in the Australasian Colonies, and from climatic influences is capable of growing not merely excellent ■wheat, but first-cla?s oats and barley, and ia peculiarly adapted for raising turnips and artificial grasses, thereby enabling the farmer to keep hia land in perfect heart by a rotation of cropping; manure his land byfeedingoff his green crops with sheep and cattle, and ke.-p him independent of a bad market for any particular cereal. A'>l over the district there is firstclass limestone cropping out to fertilise the land when it may require it. of large extent are scattered over it, providing timbers for building and fencing, and coal (lignite and the best brown coals) for fuel everywhere obtainable. The distriot is further intersected by railways, which open up the great valleys of Aparima, Oreti, and Matanra Kivera; while a loop line from the Invercargill to Kingston Kaiiway at Lnnisdem runs through the Waimea Plains and joins the Invercargill to Dunedin main line at Gore, and a line through the Forest Hill District will be constructed shortly. Thus carriage of produce to the seaboard or market ia easy and cheap from any part of it_; and timber, lime, and coal, can be distributed all over the country at a minimum cost.

It may be remarked that Invercargill being situated close to Foveaux Straits is exposed to more rainfall and sadden charges than the interior of the district, only seven miles dne north, ■where the climate is both drier and •warmer, tut aloDg the whole seaboard the land is extremely fertile, and much prized for grass and root crops. The experience of the last few years leads to the conviction that for all-round agriculture the supply of rain by no means exceeds the requirements of the land. This year the thermometer at Invercargill has averaged higher than any part of tbe Middle Island, and most parts of the North Inland, while there has been very considerably les3 rainfall than in any part of the Colony.
