The month started in with a mean temperature, the firet day, of 54 degrees, and grew colder by "degrees” until the last day when the mean temperature waa 22 degrees. The warmest weather was 70 degrees, on the 3rd and the ooldest 9 degrees, on tbe 20th, Solid freezing weather prevailed daring the last 7 days. It waa a dry November, the precipitation being only* 1.13 inches. This made roads good all the mouth, and gave the farmers a good obanoe to husk their corn. 'But it also left people worrying some about cistern and stock water for the winter. The largest rainfall any day was .52 of an inoh, on the 4th. The precipitation in November 1902 was 306 inches and in 1901, 1.26 inches. The month’s snow fall this year was 3 inches, in 1902, 6 inches and the year before 7 inches.
