THE object of this Company is to afford increased faci-
lities for the Draining of Land, by executing the
necessary operations with the most suitable materials,
in such manner as shall be deemed the most scientific,
economical, and effectual, the cost incurred thereby to be
adequately secured on the properly drained, or otherwise,
and to be repaid with interest, by instalments.
The profits resulting from scientific Draining are ad-
mitted by every agriculturist.
Tiles (the material for Draining most frequently used)
can be made by machines at less than one-half the cost
for which they are now selling within the probable sphere
of the Company's operations; from this source it is esti-
mated that a large profit will result to the shareholders
combined with equivalent advantages to the agricultural
interest.

Deposit of £1 per share, and the Calls not to exceed
£2 108. per share, nor be made until after two months'
notice.

*** Above 200 letters have been received from Land-
owners, many of them holding large properties in the dis-
trict, approving the objects of the company, and contain-
ing ample assurances that it will be fully employed as soon
as it is prepared to commence operations.
