TITLED AND VWEALTHY TORONTO MEN BUYING PICKERING FARms FOR RESIDENCES. Foliowin)g example of Mr. W. F. Me- Lean, 1.P., of The Toronto Worid, and sex eral wealthv Americans who have bouglit some of fthc best farms east and we,,L of Cobourg and cronverted them into extensive estates, some of Toronto's first citizens are buying large tracts of farma lands in Pickering and converting tliem into big farms on which palatial residen- ces will bce erected after the manner of gentlemen's estates in the OId Countries. Tforonto World of Nov. isf says: Pickering is to become the postoffice ad- dress of quite a group of gentlemen farm- ers, according to tlie developments that have quietly taken place there in the last three months. The district around Pick- ering village has been practically ahl taken taken up by wealthy people, and will es- tablisli larg-e est ates an d make of them highi-class farms. Lord Somers. who has been in Toronto, for abouf a month now, lias purchased considerabie acreage on flie north side of the Kingston-road, Pickering Township, halfway befween Pickering and Dunbar- ton. Associated with him is a relattvc, Mr. Somers Cocks, and these two gentle- men will build an imposing mansion on their property in the spring. They will then lie joined by their families, and will maIre Pi,-kering, Canada, their permanent residence. A near neiglibor of Lord Somers will bce Sir H-enry Pellatt, who lias bouglit 560 acres by Kingston-road, just east of Pick- ering village, and -;ill fliereon eetablisli bis country residence. He will convert lis purchase loto a most up-to-date farm, and wili use aIl the newest agricultural inventionîs known f0 f111 the soit for hlm. R. J. Fleming lias aiso just lafely pur- chased a big estate nearby. Altogeflier lie lias got 400 acres. He, like Sir Henry, his near neiglibor, will become an ideal farmer, altho Mr. Fleming',, rural predil- ections will most likely mun i, jersey cows. Then anoflier electric railm a~y man, W. HT. Moore, lias 240 acres nearby, lis prop- erty being on the lakefront adjoining Rosebank to -the east. His property is possibly the most valuable of aIl the recent purdliases, intliat it is on the shore. Then E. L. Ruddy lias a couple of hnn- dred acres near Pickering. His farm in- cludes the site of thie old ýPîckering Col- lege, whicli was burned down some years ago. Noel Marshiall is another Toronto bus- iness man wlio will become a summerfime farmer., He wili work 200 acres of bis own land near Pickering. Rev. D. C. Hossack lias also agricuitural aspirations. He lias got a place of 150 acres near Pickering. Several other Tor- onto men have purclia led propertv in this district and will become gentlemen farm- ers. Most of flic purchases ýwcre made af farm val 'ues, around $80 and $Ioo an acre. There is very little property, for miles around Toront o fIat lias flot clianged hands lately. Pickering, whicb is the same distance from Toronto as is Oak- ville, is enjoying flic samne land activity as did property in the viciniity of flic latter towo flirce ycars ago. Undoubtedly flic expectafion fIat flic Toronto and Eastern Elecfric road f0 Bowmativille wonld soon lc starfed lias led b omucli of flicpurcliases f0 flic east of the city and along flic shore. TÉle riglit of way for this line lias flot yct been bouglit, but flic survcy runs just nortît of thc Kingston road. TIc stretcli of excellent farms in Dur- ham county lying along the nortli shore of Lake Ont ario are admirably adate for gent lemen's estafes of fli c cara cter outlined above. They liave flic advan- fage over most of flic Pickering farms ment ioned fIat fliey front rigîf on flic lake shore. TIc sliore is mostly clear of marsli and the land lies sufficienfly higli f0 be liealthy.- No bef fer soil cao bc found in Ontario for agricultural purposes whefber for mixed farming or specializing in agriculture. The adaptability of al tliis norfîshore tract fo apple culture, dairying and stock raising, flic most proflit- able lines of farming in flese days, gîve flic Darlington and Clarke township farms a prestige thaf no oflier norfh sliore tract can surpass.
