Moving Trees in the FalI-In order
to get the benefit Of time, which is 80 necessa-
ry in The healing Of wounds, as well as for
the production Of new roots, the trees should
be taken up from the narsery rows in tbs fiji,
and then heeled-in, burying the roots so deep
that they will be beyond the reach OF the
frost during the winter months. In such n
position, the healing process will proceed
slowly, but surely, and by the time the frost
is out of the ground in spring, the roots On
carefully he led-in, or buried trees, wi have
commenced 10 throw out new rootlets, aud
when placed in their final position, they will
push earlier aud more vigorously than trees
taken mp from the nursery in spring A
rather dry place should be selec ted for bury
ing roots Of trees, because, if water settles
about their roots, 1t will letard, if it does not
tirey prevent the hehling of wounds 1t s
well to cover about one half the stems, from
the roots upward; the remainder may be pro-
tccted with evergreen oougns, or coarse bog
never be used for this purpose if it can lie
avoided, because it Is certain to attract mice
Soft wooded trees, like the magnolias tulip,
papaw, and linden, require more protection
when heeled'in in the fall, than the hard
wooded kinds, and whenever practicable,
they should be kept in cool cellars.

November Crop Report. The Nov

November Crop Report. The Novem-
Der crop report Of the national department OF
agriculture says, The present crop of corn Is
the first full average in rate of yield since
1880, which was the last of a series of SIX full
crops Of 30 to 2s bushels per acre. The pres
ent crop, grown on an area of 70 to "a mil
lion acres is slightly above an average for a
period of 10 years, or 26i bushels per acre
The highest rate Of yield is 39l bushels, in
Nebraska and Ohio. The three corn-gro wing
States, which produce four tenths of the en-
tire crop-lllaois, Iowa and Aissouri-each
average several bushels per re less than in
the census year. Illinois 81, Iowa 80,
Missouri 30 Utah averages SO, Massachus-
etts, Coneonnecticut and Colorado 35. New
Hampshire and Rhode Island 81. Michigan
80, Wisconsin 80, Kansas al. Southern
States make an average yield. The quality
of the corn is very good in the East and
South, medium in the central parts Of the
West, and somewhat deprecated on the
northern border from Michigan to Dakota. -
The potato crop is smaller than that OF 1884,
in consequence of injury from rot, which has
reduced the New York crop nearly one-third.
There is much complaint of rot in Wisconsin
and Iowa, and in some counties in Michigan,
Illinois and Minnesota. The report yield of
hay per acre averages | tons, and indicates a
crop foyer $1,000, 900 tons nearly as large
as that of last year. The buckwheat crop
will he large The average yield will exceed
IA bushels per acre

There are 362 crematories in Italy. In Milan,

In France the topic has been much discussed,
but the practice is still illegal. The commit

about evenly divided for and against the prac-
