It )s an attractive property, one can almost drive buggy over the whole of it, and out of the 8000 acres fully 6000 acres are ploughable, 30C0 acres have been ploughed and sown down in beet of English grasses, and looks very well, Another 2000 acres havß been burnt and surface sown, 1000 acres still in scrub, manuka, high tutu and fern. The remaining was originally bush oountiy, of which 1000 acres is in grand grass. This clearing was felled 16 years ago, and is fattening bullocks, so that it must bo good country to hold the grass so long. The remaining 1000 acres is a fine piece of standing bush, tawa, rimu, matai, and puketea. This bush country is practically level, and a saw mill is. about to be built on an adjoining block. The whole place is ring fenced and subdivided into numerous sheep v proof paddocks, all fencing in tip-top order. The soil is of a good loam on top of a clay subsoil, has no pumue in it at all, and is well adapted for all kinds of cropping grain or roots. 50 acres were cropped for oats last year, and a fine yield resulted. 250 acr<;s are now ploughed for turnips.
