 FINE HARVESTING WEATHER.
 Harvesting is going on rapidly In Maine with generally favorable weatR- CT. The rain was heavy in all central and southern sections and the ground Is now plenty wet enough for fall plow- ing A good crop of sweet corn mas been harvested and the field corn IS very good. The root crop Is doing hne- ly. Grass is looking we'll and there Is an abundance of fall feed. Apples will be light crop in Penobscot county.
 RgsEEp1ye NECESSARY IN SOME PLACES.
 There was a comparatively small amount of rain in the northern part Of New Hampshire during the week. Grass is starting slowly and the springs and streams are filling up slowly, but In southern sections the ground is well filled with water, and grass in fields and pastures is starting finely, except the new seedlings that were killed by drought Much reseeding will have to be done. Apple picking has begun and is nearly two weeks early.
 Much fruit was blown off during the storm of the 18th and 20th. In Chesh- ire county there are few apples in the valleys. In Sullivan county there seems to be plenty of fall fruit, but the Baldwins are reported light crop. In Coos county the yield of potatoes is very large and sound. Corn harvesting is well under way, with a good crop. Beans are very good and ripe.
 GROUND NEVER FLOWED BETTER.
 Much plowingets being done in Yer mont and correspondents say that the ground never plowed better. The wind and rain during the storm beat off a good many apples, but generally this fruit is pronounced very promising. In Orange county the correspondent states that apples are plenty on the hills. but in the valleys and for one hundred and hHy feet up they are scarce; this issspfpbably true in many towns in this stHxe and in New Hamp- shire. Beans lfe, riRened we'll. are mostly pulled AaSare pronounced an extra corp. FefM fs good. The potato rot is at, minimum in southern coun- ties. < ---'f7 <.
 ESaH WORK fwz11 ADVANCED. l '. The Ape weather has been favorable for farm, work, and in Massa chusetts 1t is we'll advanced for the season.
 l In parts of eastern Franklin county the wind during the late storm did much damage to fruit trees and timber, but the correspondent in central Worcester county, states that no dam age was done beyond shaking off few worms or dead-rpe apples. The wealth. CT has been favorable for gathering rowen. which is light crop.
 Generally the rains have started the grass on fields and pastures, but a correspondent in Hampden county states that he has examined grass lands and finds many roots dead. He thinks the crop for next year has been seri. ously affected. In that county much of last springs seeding is dead. and many are reseeding. This is true ir some other sections, but whether the failure of new grass to live Is general or not the correspondents have failed tc note Forage crops and roots are grow ing very well. Apple picking is under way, and almost every correspondent l reports good crop in prospect they art T eeneraliy of extra good color and dual ity. Quinees are good in Worcester county. .~, ..
 ur ANuTn WETIQ I Although the rainfall in parts O. Rhode Island, including that which fel on the 17th, was three and one-quartel inches, the correspondent reports tha wells have not felt its effects yet. Tht streams in pastures, however, hav' been filled, and all grass fields and pas lures and newly seeded pieces havt been greatly helped. Late garden ant |. foraser.erops are growing well. Appl' V picking has begun, and in Providence county the crop is estimated below av |: craze. The latter part of the weel gave good weather for curing corn.y
 ,J,. RAIN WAS HEAVY. f In some places in southwestern Con
 necticut the rain of the 18th and 20tl
 gave the greatest amount that has fall

 rowen crop generally is pronounced [

 are green and growing very fast, ant
 there will be plenty of fall feed Gras
