An Oamarn correspondent telegraphed as follows on Monday last: The end of another -week finds no improvement in the outlook so far as the cereal crops are concerned. Indeed, speaking in general terms, tlie prospect is not equal to what was reported a week ago, and there was nothing encouraging about it then. A refreshing and serviceable Tain fell on Sunday with further showers on Monday, Tout sine© then persistently strong drying winds havo been experienced, and these have licked up all the moisture. It has been the strong wind more than the small rainfall that has worked the mischief among tlie crops, and completely dissipated all hope of a good harvest. With nearly 40 years' experience in North Otago I cannot recall a year in which such persistent windy weather was experienced as we have had for the past four or five months. It is reported a .common custom of the Germans to make attacks just before dawn when the vitality of our men is lowest, and consequently the resistance offered cannot he so effective. It is the same way with a common cough or cold. When the system is run down you are more liable to influenza and colds in the head or chest. It is a wise precaution to take Baxter's Lung Preserver at the first indications of an attack, as this preparation builds up the system in a wonderfully short time and will enable you to avoid epidemics of colds and influenza.
