October Crop Report.
The wheat crop of Michigan this
year as indicated by reports at hand is
24,140,767 bushels. This total is obtained by multiplying the number of
acres in wheat in each county, as reported by supervisors in the spring by
the average yield per acre as shown by
reports of correspondents in the same
county and adding the products.
The total acreage taken from the
Farm Statistics returned by supervisors
last spring was 1,614,154 acres, of this
number 1,336,69S acres was in the
southern counties, 229,00S in the central
and 48,44S in tho northern counties.
The average yield in the southern
counties is 14.86 bushels: in the central
counties 15.17; in the northern counties
16.50; and in the state 14.96 bushels per
acre.
Wheat is of poor quality, being reported badly shrunken in most localities. The average weight of the
measured bushel in the southern counties is 5S pounds and in the central
about 59 pounds.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed by farmers in September is 1,692.835. Of this amount
326,6S7 bushels were marketed in the
first or southern tier of counties; 827,-
934 bushels in the second tier; 314,941
bushels in the third tier; 538,048 bushels in tho fourth tier; 161.SS9 bushels
in the fifth and sixth tiers, and 23,336
bushels in the northern counties. At
17 elevators and mills from which reports have been received there, was no
wheat marketed during the mouth.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed in the two months,
August-September, is 3,052,172, which
is "512,183 bushels less than reported
marketed in the same months last year.
The average yield ot oats in the state
as. shown hy reports o£ correspondents
is 29.29 bushels per acre. The average
in the southern counties is 30.46: in the
central counties 2-"i.44 and in the north-; writes Edward W. Bok in a timely
em counties 2('.~l bushels per acre.        ! editorial upon the subject of Christmas
Corn in the state is estimated to yield ! giving in tlie November Ladies' Home
52 bushels per acre. Tho ugrures for
the sections are southern 47; central
.**•") and northern (IS bushels per acre.
The crop was cut in the southern counties from the 1st to 10th, and iu the
central from 10th to 20th.
There was no frosts in the state up to
Oct. I, except in one or two counties,
and there it was very light.
This has been a great help to the
crop of late potatoes and it is now very
well matured. Potatoes aro estimated
to yield 58 per cent of an average crop
in tho state; in the southern counties
■50; in the central 0!' and in the northern counties 87 per cent. The outlook
is for a good price, as  tho crop  is   re-
good crop. In this section the general
yield has been fully up to the average,
and the farmers are pleased with the
season's work.
Central Counties.—Owing to the fine
■weather which prevails since last week,
the late crops, fall sowing and in some
places, pastures, have been booming
along rapidly. The season's work is
virtually ended, aud all crops except
potatoes are from average to a shade
better. The conditions in this section
for the season have, to quote one of our
correspondents, "been better than we
hoped.'" "Wheat, oats, rye, barley and
buckwheat have done well considering
the unfavorable .veather of part of the
season, while of the root crops, the
yield was better than the. average, except potatoes. Fruit did splendidly,
especially apples, pears, and in some
localities, peaches. Pastures are looking fine, and fall sown grain is putting
up a strong healthy growth.
Southern Counties.—Iu this tier of
counties, the season has been rather
backward and consequently crops and
vegetation are not as well advanced as
in other portions of the state. However, there remains but little for the
farmers to do before thp. season's work
will be finished. The fall seeding is
about done, and corn cutting and husking is being- flushed rapidly. Pastures
are in good shape, aud fall feed abuud-
ant. Most of the fall grain is coming
up and looks well. A large acreage
was put in. Corn will average about
half a crop, and potatoes are scarce.
Of the fruit orop,grapes only are plentiful; other crops a little below the average. .

If a man has a nook of his own in his

"den," the Christmas gift cannot be
better than something which will en ter

How many dear ones since have come and

Upon the garment I have worn—life's gown.

Senator Eppa Huntoirs queer Christian name is less queer than some of
the curious names to be heard and seen
iu his native State. A colored man in
the Senator's immediate neighborhood
had two sons and a daughter, who were
named respectively: "1 Will Arise and
Go to my Father," "Only Begotten
Son," and "Amazing Grace." The elder
son, after the manner of the famous
Puritan "Damned Bareboues," was abbreviated to "Iwilla" when addressed
in a hurry. In another part of Virginia
a worthy "colored couple named their
two boys Orange and Lemon,and their
two girls Florida and Missouri. Tliey
had heard of white people naming
their daughters Virginia and Georgia,
and a college professor of a distinguished family, who bore the name of

the boys were named after fruits has
