There is no finer land in all Canada than on the banks of the River aux Raisins, Charlottenburg, Glengarry, and no better farm in that famed region than Fraserfield. This farm was hewed out of the bush nearly a century ago by Col. Alexander Fraser, to whom it was ceded by the Crown, and about 25 years since it passed into the hands of Joshua Bowen, to whose widow it now belongs.
Fraserfield contains 600 acres, 400 of which are under cultivation, 150 cleared and under pasture, the remainder an excellent sugar bush. Dairying has been practised on the farm for many years and the land is consequently in the very highest state of fertility.
Fraserfield is near the village of Williamstown and close to schools, churches and all conveniences of modern life.

The bank barn was built by the late Mr. Bowen on lines suggested by long experience, and is the largest structure of the kind in Canada, being 237 x 156 feet over all, with an area of floor space, including manure cellars, of 112,900 square feet.
Water of the best quality is plenty and is carried by pipes into the barn and residence.
Altogether it is an ideal estate, suitable for either a practical farmer or a business man seeking rest and contentment.
This magnificent property is now for the first time offered for sale, to partition the estate among the heirs.
For descriptive pamphlet and full particulars address James O. Lingenfelter, Rossmore Hotel, Cornwall, Ont.
