FAMOUS SPRINGS AT DEBR PARK

A million and a half gallons of the
purest water on earth, is the daily out
put of the famous Boiling Springs in
Garrett county, Maryland. In order
that nothing can cOntaminate the
springs, one hundred acres Of land
surrounding it are fenced in. In addi-
ton, a wire building covers the springs
so that leaves cannot fall into the
water. IL is from these extraordinary
springs that Deer Park receives its
water supply. the water being piped
direct to che hotel. The medical fra
ternity now cOncede that in uhe matter
of health, the question of pure water
stands at the head and front. No Sum-
mer resort combines so many healthful
features. The air is wonderfully pure
and invigorating; cool nights, with alb
so,utely no mosquitoes; the finest cui-
sine. with perfect sanitary arrange
men.s, makes Deer Park The ideal re-
sort.

CLIMATE AND CROPS.
STATEMENT REGARDING THE
GROWTH OF GOOD GREEN THINGS.
APPLES ARE PLENTIFUL AND
GRAPES ARE PROMISING AND
. THE HONEST TILLER OF THE
SOIL IS IN HAPPY MOOD.

The climate and crop service for
Delaware and Maryland states the fol-
lowing for the week ending on Mon
day The past week In the Maryland
and Delaware section has been about
seasonable with respect to temperature
The days have been warm and nights
cool, with abundant sunshine in most
districts. Rainfall has been deficient for
the most part, scarcely any having fall
en- in Delaware and the southern and
eastern counties of Maryland. In the
western and northern-central districts,
heavy showers, accompanied in many
instances by thunder and hail, were
fairly general on the 4th. Wheat thresh-
ing is rapidly nearing completion, with
exceptionally fine yields in all portions
Of the section. In a few places where
this work has not been attended to the
shocks have been damaged and black
ened by too much moisture, but the
bulk of the crop is safe. Corn is in fine
condition nearly everywhere. Early
potatoes have yielded well. Tomatoes
suffering from blight in certain locali-
ties. Flowing for Fall seeding well un-
der way and making rapid progress.
Peaches are good in quality and fairly
plentiful in western and portions OF
northeIn-central Maryland, but thence
eastward the prospective yield under
goes a steady decrease, and for the en-
tire section the crop will be decidedly
short. Apples are plentiful and grapes
are promising; the young clover is COM
ing into bloom and promises a good
yield of seed The yield OF oats is light
These reports come from the various
counties;
Dorchester-W and clear, with
little rain. High winds and sunshine
have dried the ground rapidly. Corn
growing nicely and gives promise of
good yields; it is about all laid by.
Watermelons and peaches being
shipped, and are up to the average in
quality, but the peach crop will be
short. Tomatoes are ripening. Farmers
fallowing wheat land. Crops good gen.
orally, and bid fair for large yields.
Wicomico-Nights cool, but hot sun
shine during days. Corn roofing fast
but not improved much in past week.
WOrcester-Dry, pleasant weather
with cool nights. Tomatoes ripenine
very slowly. Watermelons plentiful anc
quality good. Peaches and pears scarce
apples abundant
| Cccil-Dry week. Ram needed lOl
plowing. Corn generally in tassel anc
shows good color. Second crop of clovel
| looks well.
Caroline-Week dry and warm the
first part, with cooler the latter part
Tomato crop much hurt by blight. Late
corn growing well. Few peaches are
being shipped; the crop will be short.
Talbot-Weather seasonable. Som'
| Improvement noted in the tomato crop
Peaches scarce. Corn, although late, Z
good yield. Fallow plowing has beer
specially favored.
New Castle-The wheat crop hai
yielded finely. Oats good, but damage'
by rains. Potatoes will give a gooC
crop Considerable wheat hurt in th'
shock. Fruit promising and going e

upon the legislators for their consideration.
