NOVEMBER, 1889. 



The distribution of rain has frequently seriously interfered with 

 farm worii. A large proportion of the hay and grain crop has been 

 damaged by rain or delay in cutting. 



Most crops except on well drained land have suffered considerably. 

 Corn was late during the growing season, but had sufficient time to 

 ripen ; for the frost came later than usual in this vicinity. The first 

 killing frost occurred Sept. 23.
