T AND FOR THE PEOPLE. TO INDUSTRIOUS MEN, WITH OR WITHOUT CAPITAL, WHO WISH TO ACQUIRE COMFORTABLE HOMESTEADS. MR J. C. FIRTH is prepared to Let FARMS at Matamata, with right of purchase, at an average price of £5 per acre. The land is of good quality, dry, and easily worked, and is in GRASS and CLOVER. It is situated convenient to a Railway Station, and in other respects favourably circumstanced. Interest at 5 per cent, will be payable on the purchase money— equivalent to a rent of 5s per acre, or £12 10s for a farm of 50 acres. Purchasers of 50-acre farms will be required to pay 10s per week towards the purchase money after the first year, and they will be allowed 4 per cent, on their payments. By this meaus the land will be paid for, and be the unencumbered property of the settler in less than ten years. To men without capital, but of approved character, Mr Firth will lend good cows for the first two years, at 15s per annum «acb. In case of need he will assist in providing material for fencing, -and for a cheap dwelling. The average annual charge would be :— Rent of farm of 50 acres ... £12 10 0 j ilire of, say, 15 cowu ... 115 0 Interest on advances (if any), say 2 6 0 In all 26 0 0 or 10s per week for a 50-acre grass farm and the use of 15 cows. The annual return would bo :—: — Produce of 15 cows, in milk and calves £105 0 0 Deduct charge as above „.. 26 0 0 Leaving clear 79 0 0 or 30s per week. In addition to which, assuming the settlers family do the , milking, nearly all his own time would be free to cultivate 10 acres of the land not required by the cows, and otherwise in earning money. Mr Firth will erect a CHEESE FACTORY and will buy the milk for three years at current average Waikato Dairy Factory prices, and will take delivery from each homestead at the actual cost of doing so. After three years the settlers will have the option of working the factory by cooperation among themselves, Mr Firth undertaking to sell it to them at a valuation. '■ It will not pay him to out up land and erect a dairy factory unless at lease 20 families respond to his offer. Married men only will be treated with in the first instance, and preference will be given to those who have saved capital enough to provide house and fencing for themselves ; but men of good industrious character, with working families, will be quite eligible, even if they have no capital. Applications, personally or by letter, to be made to Mr J. C. Firth, at the Wharf Mills, Auckland, after MONDAY, May 17th, 1886. As soon as twenty approved applications are received, applicants will be duly notified, and an opportunity given them to satisfy themselves by personal examination of the land. J. C. FIRTH.
