Farmers living on tho higher and iight-er lands report a scarcity of feed, ivhile the weather has not l;xon too favourable for the eereai crops. A welcome shower of rain fell on Friday night, but it was not sufficifiu to do much good beyond laying the dust. The oontimied dry weather is affectinc; the creameries, the shortago of grass being keenly felt in some ptace-s. Lambs are somewhat backward for this time of the year.
