The raising of I'nt stock for the market is one of tliu leading industries- of the North. The warm sheltered valley.-, have been found particularly suitable for the purpose, and so have the vol ca.nic lands and alluvial flats. Most ol the prizes ton- fat stock at the Auckland" Agricultural and Pastoral Showtor the. last two years came North—a fact which affords conclusive evidence of the fertility of northern lands and of the favorable conditions under which grazing is carried on. Indeed, on .-.t k'-ast two farms in North .Auckland :i bullock to'the acre was carried right through last- winter and fattened without any artificial feed. This'statement is in no way m.i exaggeration. It can be verified- by indisputable evidence. CHEAP LANDS. If what the.land will produce may be taken as the measure of its value, then most of the laud in New Zealand has already readied its highest value. North Auckland is one of the few districts in the Dominion where land is cheap. This is evidenced by the large number of settlers from Southern districts who have .settled in the North during the last five years. For many years there was almost no land movement in North Auckland, but during the last live years a decided change has taken place. APPENDIX.

m store for settlors within that area North Auckland will well repay a vi,it by anyone contemplating a change >'' ro.sidmce.
