SALEC BY AUCTION. AUCTION SALE. HIGHLY IMPORTANT TO DAIRYMEN. SUBDIVISION OF OOQQ ACRES of CHOICE DAlßYaaatr mQ & FATTENm LANa Broken In, Grassed & Farmed in a most Practical Manner by the late HUGH CAMPBELL, Esq., of Hawke's Bay. Favoured by Instructions from the , MATARAWA LAND COMPANY, TX7E shall offer for sale at the TOWN HALL, PUTARURU, On FRIDAY, JAN. 14, 1021, at 1 p.m. 8 EXCELLENT DAIRY FARMS OF FROM 215 TO 367 ACRES. LOCALITY.—The property is situate at Maraetai, about 17 milea by rail from Putaruru. CONTOUR.—The land is flat to very easy rolling, the undulating portion being those broad tablelands which give a beautiful appearance to any farm. There is no broken land on the property. Practically every inch has been under the plough. Views of the subdivision inset on the plans, which will be posted on request, convey a general idea of the land to be of- . fered, with the exception of the fact that hundreds of acres of flat land are not shewn. PASTURES.—The very best of English grasses in great heart. CROPPING.—This land grows all classes of crops to perfection. Oat crops are now to be seen on the place, turnips grow to an enormous size possessing abnormal feeding qualities. These may be fed off in any weather as desired, the land being dry underfoot and never parches. WATER.—Adequate creeks and mills, massive" concrete drinking troughs, exactly where necessary. RAINFALL.—AmpIe, the average for the last 20 years being (10 inches per annum. There is no district in the Dominion where the pastures retain their colour better, the feed grows luxuriantly right throughout the summer months.FENCES—Absolutely first-class, built of totara, sheep-proof, good gates to every paddock. SHELTER.—Thousands of trees have been planted over the subdivision, which will shortly be of immense value from all points of view. CARRYING CAPACITY.—An inspection will convince any practical man that these farms, with a little closer subdivision will milk a cow to 2 acres. 1 BUILDINGS.—AII first class, modern and convenient. Built of totara. The cowsheds are probably unequalled in the Dominion for convenience or from a hygienic standpoint. FACILITIES.—Very few new districts can boast of the conveniences here existing. School, Post Office, Public Hall, Accommodation Houses and Stores, 1 mile. The' Totara Timber Company's railway runs litrough the property, the station being on the property. The great hydro-electric works are in the vicinity, and will play their great part in making this wonderful district one of the most famous dairying centres in New Zea- _ land. The quality of the land is exemplified in the fact that the Tokoroa Cheese Factory gained the highest "points for Graded Cheese produced in the Centra! Northern Province. This faetory is situate 1. miles from the property, and the output this year is expected to more than double that of last year. This factory, a view of which, is also shown on the plan, is fitted with every modern and scientific convenience and labor-saving device, and proposes paying to its suppliers 3s per lb for butter-fat this season. PROSPECTS-Unequalled in the Waikato. This land will be sold for probably less than half the price of land which cannot show the same returns in other districts, and on this account' has a tremendous prospective value for those who buy now. One herd of 42 cows in October was supplying 14761bs of milk per day. and other herds are .now equalling the best of those on the high priced lands of Taranaki.
