Manawaru .
(From Our.Owu Corresponden 1 .)
The weather still continues very hot and dry, water very scarce, and tho paddocks getting very much dried, up aid il.e cows shrinking in their milk. Unless we soon have sorao ra’n it wiq be getting quite serious for the far. liters as there will bo no show for a turnip crop, as it is no mo drilling in the seed in h pres nt dry state of the ground. Travelling is viy bad, as in some places the du t is near’y ankle deep, and the traveller-is actompmied by a cl ud of du t which is very annoy Lug and disagre:- able. Things ate b oming in the builling trade, as the new bridge is begun amt the new school si e pegge d out. The timber is to bo on the groun 1 in a f w day-*. There is also a rumour going round that there will be u new creamery in the m ar future; When the new b idge a! Shaf- osbury is finished, it wiil be a very pleasant drive from Te Aroha by Manawaru across the bridge uni back through Shaf esbury.
