FOR SALE L and for settlement. OF .CKICU ~ ,T KAL LAND OP FN FOK ~A;,E IN SOUTHLAND. UnderD*ferred Pa> merits 50,015 acres For Diroct I'nnha-t ... 35,000 seres Laad coveied with Bash, which, when is of superior quality for Agricnltnrc ... 300.000 acres The price of deferred payment land is 25s and an acre. The land is from 20 miles north to 16 miles ■oath of the latitude of the month of the Taieri River, and is all from 2 to 3S miles to the northward of the Clntha River at its month, Invercargill being 3 miles due south of the latitude of the Ctutha, 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 peculinrly adapted for raising turnips and artificial grasses, thereby enabling the farmer to k-ep his land in perfect heart by a rotation of cropping; manure his landbyfeedingoff hisgreen crops with sheep and cattle, and ke -p him independent of a bad market for any particular cereal. Ail over the district there is firstclass limestone cropping out to fertilise the land when it may require it. _ Forests 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 opennp the great valleys of Aparima, Oreti, and Matanra Rivers ; "while a loop line from the Invercargill to Kingston Railway atLum3dem runs through the Walmea Plains and joins the Invercargill to Dnnedin main line at Gore, and a line through the Forest Hi'l District will be constructed shortly. Thus carriage of produce to the seaboard or market is easy and cheap from any part of itj and timber, lime, and coal, can be distributed all over the country at a minimum cost. The average yield of cereals per sere, taken fron the statistics ot the Colony for the year* 1873 to 1878, ai compared with The subjoined tables give the average temperature at Dnnedin. and Christc'ourch, the cr>mmcrc : ai centres of ths districts. It may be remarked that Invercargill beingsitnated to Foveaux Straits isexposed to more rain fali and sudden charges than the interior of the district, only seven jniles due north, where the climate 13 both drier and warmer, tut aloog 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 con▼iotion that for all-round agriculture the an pply of rain by no means exceeds the requirements of the land. This year the thermometer at Invercargill has averaged higher than any part of the Middle Island, and moot parts of the Nrrth Island, while there has been very considerably less rainfall than in any part of the Colony.
