18 JouBNAL.— November. [Part I. 



at a horse-race ; so that it has laid out in the field, partly 

 threshed and partly not, for five days. If rain had 

 come, it would have been of no consequence. All would 

 have been dry again directly afterwards. What a 

 stew a man would be in, in England, if he had his 

 grain lying about out of doors in this way! The cost of 

 threshing and winnowing 60 bushels was 7 dollars, 

 1/. lis. 6rf. English money, that is to say, 4s. a quarter, 

 or eight Winchester bushels. But, then, the carting 

 was next to nothing. Therefore, though the labourers 

 had a dollar a-daij each, the expense upon the whole, 

 was not so great as it would have been in England. So 

 much does the climate do ! 



25. Rain. A warm rain, like a fine June rain in 

 England. 57 degrees in shade. The late frosts have 

 killed, or, at least, pinched the leaves of the trees ; and 

 they are now red, yellow, russet, brown, or of a dying 

 green. Never was any thing so beautiful as the bright 

 sun, shining through these fine lofty trees upon the gay 

 rerdure beneath. 



26. Rain. W^arm. 58 degrees in shade. This is 

 .the general Indian Corn harvest. 



27. Rain. Warm. 58 degrees in shade. Put on 

 coat, black hat and black shoes. 



28. Fine day. 56 degrees in shade. Pulled up a 

 Fadish that weighed 12 pounds! 1 say twelve, and 

 measured 2 feet 5 inches round. From common Eng- 

 lish seed. 



29. Very fine indeed. 



30. Ver}' fine and warm. 



31. Very fine. 54 degrees in shade. Gathered our 

 last lot of winter apples. 



November. 



1. Rain all the last night and all this day. 



2. Rain still. 54 degrees in shade. Warm. Things 

 grow well. The grass very Jinc and luxuriant. 



3. Very fine indeed. 56 in shade. Were it not for 

 the colour of the leaves of the trees, all would look like 

 June in England. 



4. Very, very fine. Never saw such pleasant wea- 

 ther. Digging potatoes.
