The above quotations, we are happy to say, 
show a very favorable state of things for the farm¬ 
ers of this country. The prospective continuance 
of the war, and the general deficiency of crops in 
Europe, give a fair prospect of continued high 
prices here, notwithstanding our heavy crops. 
Now is the time for farmers to increase the pro¬ 
ductions 'of their lands to the highest limits, to 
pay off all indebtedness, and by avoiding debt 
•place themselves in a position to be independent of 
any future financial revulsions that may come upon 
us—revulsions that many are predicting will soon 
be experienced. 
The Weather. —Since our last review we 
have generally had beautiful weather. The clos¬ 
ing week of October was marked by clear fair 
weather, with the exceptions of a slight rain on 
the 27th. The heavy rain noticed at the time of 
our last remarks (Oct. 24), cleared away on the 
25th. 
November 1st was'clear. The depth of water 
that fell on the 3d, equaled full 1 1-5 inches (1.22). 
From the 4th to the 11th, the weather was gen¬ 
erally clear ; on the 8th a shower of short dura¬ 
tion showed a ■} inch of water, and on the 12th 
nearly as much more (0.42) fell. From the 12th 
to the 20th we had fair, beautiful weather, with a 
cold change on the 17th—the thermometer falling 
nearly 10 degrees, and it still continues cold, 
though it is comparatively warm for the season. 
On Wednesday (21st) considerable rain fell. To¬ 
day we have a very high wind, about the first 
strong blow of the season. Snow has fallen a few 
degrees north of us. The genial weather for sev¬ 
eral weeks past has had aj favorable effect upon 
winter wheat and rye, giving them a strong root- 
hold to withstand frosts. 
P. S—Monday, November 26. We have to-day 
a warm smoky atmosphere indicative of another 
edition oflndian Summer.
