tive address. There was short program
consisting Of music, reading and the farce
"A Rural Ruse". Supper was served, fol-
lowed by remarks by visitors. The re-
marks and story by Deputy A. l. Foss, OF
Hancock, were appreciated, as his advice
to and interest in US has always been.

good attendance, although many are
unable to attend the meetings OF July and
August. There was a short program.

amount invested in cows?" was discussed,
and decided in the affirmative.

Deformed Apples In Maine.

Much concern is expressed by orchard
lists in Maine who. are troubled by de-
formed and worthless fruit. Orchard
owners who have had trouble with
gnarled and pitted apples are urged to ex-
anime their fruit at once for the crescent
shaped wound which the curcuiio makes,
and which at this season is easily reeog-
nized.
Apple injury by the curculio is one of
the most serious insect troubles in the
Maine orchards, and one least recognized
by apple growers. As it is to all appear
ances rapidly on the increase, orahardists
cannot afford to neglect the alarming situa-
ton.
The methods of controlling this pest are
tedious but effective and possible, and (if
apples are to be grown in orchards now
infested) necessary. They are also
beneficial to the orchard in other respects.
Specimens OF deformed apples will be
examined and the curculio work, il pres
ent, identified for any orchardist in the
State applying to the Maine agricultural
experiment station for information. Such
specimens should be presented within the
next fortnight, while the wounds are still
characteristic. Not less than one quart OF
apples should be submitted for this
purpose.
An illustrated circular on the plum cur
culio and the apple, giving life history
notes and remedial measures, is available
to all who apply to the Maine agricultural
experiment station, Orono, for it.

Origin Of .Yours Sincerely.


Have you ever reflected, when you fin-
ish up your letter "Yours sincerely, John
Smith, why you do SO, or whence
came the origin OF this epistolary method
of subscribing to your state of soul in re-
gard to any particular correspondent?
Well, if you subscribed yourself yours
without wax, John Smith, it would
amount to the same thing.
When the Roman jurymen returned
their verdicts they usually did SO on .

verdict was SO overwhelmingly in favor OF
person on trial for any ofIense they were
allowed to give their verdict ''sine cera''
that is to say, without wax, or without
going to the formality OF inscribing their
verdict on the wax tablet (cera).
So, when you subscribe yourself, "Yours
sincerely" to q person, you mean-when
you are serious, Of course that your re-
gard for him is above board. ssYours
faithfully, is the business style; "Youfs
truly" the indifferent and "Yours, etc.,,
the most objectionable of epistolary at
rocities, according to the unwritten code.
An English cabinet minister, when writ
ing to you in the oficial style, will sub
scribe himself, "Your obedient humble
servant" A Frenchman will tell you that

the highest consideration, yours, Jules LIE

well, most favored of Heaven. May the
gods preserve your honorable teeth"
