In order to carry out these objects it is pvo poeod i— 1. To nuranaso from tho Auckland Agri cultural Company (Limited) the following Propor ti»s now used by thorn for stook-breedlng pur poses, viz., ' (a) Cranston, Waikato, 8,803 acres, (b) Tamaki. No. 1 Farm, Tho Chase, and Butly Manor, 752 acres, (o) Tamaki, GrccnhiU, UO acros, toaethcr •with their celebrated Puro-bred Short horn and Heioford Hord, Clydesdalo Horses, Lincoln and Leicester Slieop. 2 To purchase from Moasrs T. and S. Morrin their Stud Farm at Moadowbank, Romuera, consisting of MB acres 2 roods 6 perches, and the Leasohold Estate of 91 aero adjoining;, to gether with their valuablo Fodigree Shorthorn Herd. ' To farmers and daalors in cattle it is well known that Pure-bred Stock are moro easily fattenod, come to maturity earlier, produce bettor boof, and roaliso higher prices than the ordinary class of stock. This fact, which is so sismifloaflt to breeders and dealers in cattle, has of lato years Induced a constiint and activo demand for pure-bred stock m England, 1 America, and tho Australian Colonies. In view of this demand for puro-bred cattle, and the lareo and inoreasing area of land which is anuually taken up for grnzlng purposes all over Now Zealand, and tho vast quantity of cattle required to stock tho same, tho Directors sac at onco a ready market at good prices for their stook, and they believe the Company will be able to pay early and continuous dividends from their ordinary operations in the salo of stook, i without rolying upon any profit from the in creased value of landed proporty, which is here after referred to. Tho Direotors confidently anticipate that the Frozen Meat Trado cannot fail to qpon a practi cally unlimited market for Now Zealand beef and mutton, and will givo to stock-gra&ing interests in New Zealand nn impetus which must ultimately tond to the groat advantago Of this Compnny. Tho whole o£ the Pedigreo Herds before mentioned, the Clydesdale Horses and Sheep are well-known, arid consist oE (lrst-class im ported stock (judiciously selected by the best iudeos without regard to cost) and their progeny. Whcrcvor exhibited thoy'havo re ooived tbo highest prizes. Tho celebrated Shorthorn Bull " Duke of Newcastle, tho pro perty of the AHcUland Agricultural Company, was awarded First mid Champion Prize at tho Intercolonial Exhibition at Sydney for the best bull of any brood, for which tho whole of the Australasian Colonies competod with imported and Colonial bulls. This bull and many of Ins progeny are among tho herds proposed to be purchased. Tho Herefords aro deserving of special montion. Five hundred and forty-five in number, they form the largest hord of pure Herefords in the world—their progeny have alwajs met a roady nnd remunerative sale. Tho land proposed to bo purchased by the Company for carrying on thoir operations con sists of well-selected and suitable stations, ■(Thero the breeding of puro cattlo has for many years past been successfully conducted. Theso properties havo also boon selected with a view to thoir future increase in value, and from this source alono tho Directors anticipate the Com pany will derive considerable profit. Eleven hundred and forty acros of tho land acquired are so near to tho City of Auckland as to entitle them now to be classed as Suburban Lands, and they must speedily advance in valuo with tho rapid development of tho city. , Tho valno of tho Freehold, Leasehold, and Stock has been fixed by Mossrs Alfred Buck land and Wm, Aitfeon at tho sum of £161,3 aS isCd. The Diroctora, after tho valuation was fixed, induced tho vendors to make tlio important concession of leaving ono-half of tho purchase money secured upon tho property at flvo per cent. Being thoroughly satisfied with the prospects of the undertaking, the vendors hove reserved to themselves nearly one-half of the shares in tho Company upon equal terms with the shares now offered to the public. Farther particulars on application to the Solicitors of the Company, or to JOSEPH BENNETT, Hon. Sec, 16, Queen-street. TJ-OTICE OF REMOVAL. MR T.
