NOT ALL HARM.
Heavy Rains Have Benefited Caterpillar Eaten
Trees-A Mid Summer Apple Blossom.

II is possible that the heavy rains of
the season have not done harm in one
respect when it is known that many
of the trees which have shown evil
dences of having been badly eaten by
caterpillars earlier in the season have
recovered so far that the foliage in
places where large nests We're located
has grown out again fresh and green.
Secretary McKeen of the State board
of agriculture has noted many cases of
this and thinks that undoubtedly, had
it not been for the abundance of rain,
the trees would have been in a poor
way to recover from the ravages of the
miserable caterpillars.
To the fruit trees. this is no incon-
siderable benefit, and in one respect if
only one, the farmers have something
to be thankful for.
Along with the above of course. the
rain has created destruction with
much of the farm products. This is in
estimabIe, at this time of the season it
being all the more impossible to de-
termine as the remaining months may
give chances for recovery. The hay
has suffered much. not only in the
growth but on account of the catch
ing weather resulting from the per
sistent rains.
Then, potatoes have been killed and
corn will feel the excessive moisture.
But, with good weather to come, the
outlook might be worse.

pie blossom shown him, few days ago,

eiuslon that it was spring with all its

an investigation of his bugship, the
latter reports as follows to Secretary

July 2S 1897.
Dear Mr.. Mckeen;
l have a letter from Mr.. w. A. Noyes
Auburn. Me, accompanied by box
containing a specimen of the potato in
sect that has done injury by boring in
the stalks. The work is the same as
that sent me some days ago in a paper
box from which the culprit had escaped
The specimen proves to be the cater
pillar of a well-known insect called
"The Potato-Stal Borer.' Gortynany-
tida.
This insect has been reported but
once to me and then in 1898 from Bing-
ham. Me. 1t does not confine its at
lacks to the potato but has been known
to bore the stalks of tomatoes. corn,
weeds, astors, dahlias, etc. The insect
is related to the eut-worms belonging
to the order Noctuidae (Owlet moths)
The caterpillars leave the stalks the
last of July and go into the ground and
in few days change to the pupa from
which the moth energies the last Of
August or September
The moths probably hibernates. The
perfect insect is moth about an inch
and a half spread of wing with a mar

one-third of the length from the end.
/ would advise MI Noyes to cut all
the wilted stalks and destroy the
worms so as TO prevent increase,
doubt whether this insect will do much
damage in Maine, but it should be
watched. We would like to hear from
any who have noticed a worm boring
i'll potato stalks or the stalks of other
plants causing them to wilt SO we can
determine the distribution ana dam
age done in the State. f. l.. Harvey,

FAIR WIND WENT DOWN IN AGALE

Halifax, N. S., Decemb Der 2S.-The
schooner Hattie May, which arrived here
this forenoon from New York, brought
the crew of the Plymouth, Mass, schoon-
er Fair Wind, which went to the bottom
of Georges banks The Fair Wind was
on voyage from New York to Boston
and was blown out of her course by heavy
gales. She became unmanageable and was
badly damaged. She was on the point
of sinking when the Hattie May came
along and took the crew on board.
The Fair Wind was built in Ellsworth.
Me-, in 1861 and registered 81 tons net
She was SO feet long and "a feet beam
She was owned by A. N. Reed of North
ampton, Mass, and vas commanded by
Captain Charles E. Rowne of Ellsworth,
Me. She carried cargo of cement,
The Hattie May had hard time herself
getting into port. She was hove to for
bours at time, and for greater part of
the voyage was running under double
reef canvas. The waves broke clean over
the vessel. The cold weather also made
it bad, as the ship made ice rapidly. All
hands had to work incessantly to keep
her clear.
On the Oath instant the seas were run
ming mountains high, and at p. m. the
schooner was thrown on her beam ends.
The cargo shifted badly aud made the
work of the crew still harder. An hour
later they wore ship and about II D. M
an immense sea came on board, by which
the boat was stove in. George Anderson,
sailor, had both hands badly frost Bit
