TOKOROA LAND.

HEALTHY AND CLEAN. A Taranaki Opinion. The following- letter, from an cxTaranaki settler, who has taken up land in the Tokoroa district, to a friend in Taranaki, was published in the Hawera Star last week. It speaks for itself:—“ I suppose you are in the same tracks as of yore, and the same work—cows, calves, pigs, and, oh! I forgot, mud. My dear old fellow, you don’t know how I appreciate the change up here! No mud, no wind, positively mild all through the winter and spring, and a real pleasure to work under such conditions. My cows here are doing absolutely better than in Taranaki; bags of milk hard, and feed, gee, she does grow! When I think of that place I have just vacated and see my rich pastures here, it makes me wonder why T was foolish so long. I do wish you were here. You would put on a stone in weight, and it is wonderfully healthy, and your wife, it is hard to say, but I believe that it would certainly cure her sore throat.” TOKOROA EDUCATION RESERVE. For sections in the Tokoroa Education Reserve, recently opened by the Land Board for general selection, there were three applicants, each applying for several sections alternately. The matter will be dealt with by the board at its meeting this week. FURTHER SALES REPORTED. It is understood that several further purchases of farms from the Matarawa Land Co., Tokoroa, by Taranaki settlers are now being concluded. Details are not yet available.
