all times ensuring the readiest sale for the produce, while the markets
of Poole and Dorchester are easily commanded, and shortly

market accessible. It is known as
THE BEST WALL AND SWINEH.tM FARMS,
OF 295 ACRES OF RICH DAIRY AND ARABLE LAND,

that they were for many years the pet farms, or better known as
THE MODEL FARMS OF THE LATE SIR CLAUDE SCOTT,
BART.,
by whose untiring energy, skill, and outlay, they were not only
brought to a high state of cultivation, but by the formation of an
embankment of vast extent, with a most perfect system of draining
and irrigation, some of the richest dairy and corn land in the county
was secured, as well as a constant supply of manure from the deposit
from the river. The late proprietor, at very considerable cost, erected
A GENTLEMANLY ABODE,
offering excellent accommodation for a family, approached by a
lodge entrance, through a most luxuriant shrubbery walk, adorned
with an infinity of choice flowering plants, to the lawn and pleasure-
garden, from whence a view of singular magnificence is obtained, in-
cluding the long range of
TIIE DORSETSIIIIIE HILLS,
THE MAJESTIC RUINS OF CORFE CASTLE
being a prominent object ; whilst the home view commands Lord
Rivers' estate of Radcliff and the Wareham River, which yields a
never-failing supply of fish, and in the season wild fowl in abundance
—irresistible attractions to a sporting man—to whom it should he
known that there are frequent meetings of Mr. Farquharson and
Mr. Dram's hounds. There are two farm-houses, with most com-

through the estate, communicating with each field. Several cottages
and every essential for conducting an extensive dairy farm with ad-
