FOR SALE AND FOR SETTLEMENT. AREA. OP AGRICULTURAL LAND OPEN FOR SALE IN SOUTHLAND. Utder Deferred Pajmenta 50,015 acres For F'ireet Purchase ... 35,000 acres Land covuied with Bash, wfafeb. when cleared, is of superior quality for Agriculture ... 300.000 acres The pri :e »>f deferred Tayment land is 25s and 30i an acre. The land is from -0 xailos norih to If! miles south of the latitude of the: rnr.nth of the Taieri River, and is all from 2 to 33 miles to the northward of the Clotha River at its moatb, Inrercargiil being 3 miles due south of the latitude of the Clntha, 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-class oats and barley, and is peculiarly adapted for raising turnips and artificial grasses, thereby enabling the farmer to keep his land in perfect heart by a rotation of cropping; manure bis land by feedingoff his gretn crops with sheep and cattle, and keep him independent of a bad market for any particular cereal. AH 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 district is further intersected by railways, which open up the great valleys of Aparima, Oreti, and Mataura Rivers : while a loop line from the Invercargill to Kingston Railway at Lum3dem 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 is easy and cheap from any part of it; and timber, lime, and coal, can be distributed all over tho country at a minimum cost. The average yield of cereals per acre, taken from the statistics of the Colony for the year* 1873 to IS7S, a<» compared with Canterbury, are as follow : The subjoined tables give the average temperature at Invercargill, Dnnedin, and Christchnrch, the commercial centres of the districts. It may be remarked that Invercargill being situated close to Foveaui Straits ia exposed to more rainfall and sudden changes the interior of the district, only seven miles due north, where the climate i 3 both drier and warmer, tut along the whole seaboard the land is extremely fertile, and much prized for grass and root crops. The experience of the last few yeare leads to the cocYiction that for all-round agriculture the npply of rain by no means exceeds the requirements of the land. Thi3 year the thermometer at Invercargill has averaged higher than any part of the Middle Island, and moat parts of the N.->rth Island, whili there has been very considerably less rain fall than in any part of the Coloay.

Report of Analysis by Professor Black, Colonial Analyst. University Laboratory, Dunedin, 21st October, 1878. 'Thomas Reynolds, Esq. Sir—l have the honor to report on five i samples of Port Wine forwarded by yon for -analysis. These samples may all be described as " full-flavored, fruity, aromatic Wines ; pos- - aesaing in a considerable degree that agreeable fragrance that characterises genuine .Port. They do not contain impurities of any kitd. I'he perfect freeness of these Wines from ever v kind of impurity, the proportion of sugar and alcohol which they contain being quite characteristic of unadulterated, unmanipulated Wine, together with their rich fragrancs arising from aromatic ethers, should s:fcrongly recommend them, and gain for .a good place in the Colonial market.
