THE DRY WEATHER.
MORE REPORTS FROM THE NORTH. Truly this is a most exceptional season, writes the Inglewood correspondent of a Taranaki paper. Away in the back country the cattle are not looking at all well, and the crops and grass do not seem to move along; consequently tho milk yield, tho mainspring of tho Taranaki clock, has not begun to increase perceptibly. Soon the summer proper will be upon us; and if it is dry, as some prophets foretell, it will spell a greatly reduced income for farmers. An Auckland report states that in the Waikato and other parts of the province the continued dryness is retarding the growth of crops, and .moisture is badly, needed to .give the grass the flush growth which is usually experienced at this season of the year. Late advices from the South Island indicate a distinct improvement during tho past few weeks, but at the same time conditions could very easily be better.
