Perhaps no man in the Hawkesbury district has put more time and labor into his property than Mr. J. Handcock. He has one of the prettiest little orchards around these parts, made up of citrus, stone, and passion fruit. The task he had when taking up the place a few years ago was a formidable one, and one which many men would have jibbed at, but by the means of energy and sheer hard graft, he has established a most comfortable home. The results of his labors are apparent on all sides, and speak volumes for his practical knowledge of orchard and farm work.

His house - a roomy brick building of his own construction - is situated on the top of the ridge with a commanding view of the surrounding country. It possesses all the conveniences of a house in town, and an everlasting supply of cool spring water. The property contains 302 acres, the whole of which is enclosed with a hare-proof fence, which alone was no small undertaking.

Besides orchard and flourishing maize crops, sweet potatoes, etc., Mr. Handcock has been going in for a vegetable garden. The lowland has been selected for the latter, and the products are of exceptionally good quality. Among the fruit the heavy yields and splendid specimens of passions and apples were very noticeable. It is evident that the soil is suitably adapted for apples, for nowhere in the district have we seen better.

Mr. Handcock intends offering the property for sale on the 20th instant, so that anyone wanting to make a good speculation should not miss this chance.
