To several of the above possessions, access may be had at Whitsunday first, and to the others, at Martinmas 1819, and Whitsunday 1820.  Many of the farms are of considerable extent, and of good early soil; and if wished two or more will be united, to suit farmers of capital and enterprise, and to whom every reasonable encouragement will be given.  The farms in general are well situated as to roads, markets, and the means of improvement, of which all of them are very susceptible.

The Houses and Machinery at the Bleachfield of Turriff, have lately been fitted up in the most complete manner, at a considerable expence; for years past, the business has been much on the increase, and the Bleaching Field enlarged in consequence.  The Stream of Water, which besides being of a quality peculiarly well adapted for Bleaching, is sufficiently powerful to command additional Machinery for other purposes, and combined with the Carding Mill, affords an opening for persons in that line of business, seldom to be met with.
