It is proposed to receive every year a certain number of these as cadets upon the estate, to learn sheep, cattle and horse breeding, farming and agriculture. Cadets will require to have received a good education. On entering the Company's service a premium will be required from each cadet, but after a short period of satisfactory service upon the estate, a salary will be paid him, which will be increased in proportion to his general merits. Suitable accommodation and board will be provided. Cadets will be required to be steady and active, to be ready to work early and late. To those who desire to learn the occupation of stock farming and agriculture thoroughly, no better opportunity could present itself.

After a satisfactory term of service, facilities will be afforded to cadets to become tenants under the Company with easy terms of purchase.
