MANS" Baughman, the somewha t
noted weather prognosticator of Somer-

There will be a noticeable absence of
electrical storms, and will have no.real
warm weather until about the first Of
August. There will be a severe frost
in June and of the variety known as
''black frost" This damaging frost
will occur, as nearly as he can calculate
either the forepart or middle of June.
and will do most execution in Somerset
county, portions of the eastern part of
Pennsylvania, and all of the states of
Texas, California and Michigan. He

snow back yet, though the form of its
precipitation may be in rain in portions
as southerly as Somerset county. He
said fruit crop would be about half crop,
and wound up by stating that this would
positively be the last prediction this
wear"

CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS OFF.
Penn-Garrett Coal Mining COmpany'S
Offer Successful Resistance.

The condemnation proceedings inStI-
tuted by the Manor Land and Oakland
Railroad Company. of which Samuel
A. Kendall is president, against the
Penn-Garrett Coal Mining Company, of
Garrett county, came to a sudden ter
mination at Friendsville Friday, when
Sheriff Austin Brown requested the
jury not to consider the matter further.
The strip desired to be acquired, five
miles in length, was one of the longest
III single proceeding in the history of
Maryland. The proceedings were drop
ped at the instance of the plaintiff, who
has been using the right of way under
lease for the operation of a narrow
guage railroad. The company has the
most extensive lumber plant in Western
Maryland and the railroad is the means
Of reaching the timber tract. The term
of the lease for the right of way expir-
ed two years ago, and it was thereupon
extended for term of two years. The
lease terminated last Monday.
The Manor Land and Oakland Railroad
Company sought to acquire the right of
way perpetually by condemnation. The
Penn-Garrett Coal Mining Company de-
cided to resist the action. Thomas J.
Peddicord, Esq, of Oakland, represent
ed the plaintiff in the suit and DeWar-
rem H. Reynold, Esq. of Cumberland,
the defendant The strip which the
plaintiff desired to acquire lies along the
bank of the Youghiogheny River which
is known to have water power, because
of the physical formation of its bed,
that few streams in the country possess.
Mr.. Reynold had summoned as witnesses
James P. GatTney, chief engineer of the
Norfolk and Southern Railway Com
pany; J. W. Galbreath, of Baltimore.
former chief engineer of the West Vir-
GINA Central and Pittsburg Railway
Company, and James C. Shriver. well
known civil engineer of Cumberland.
1t was intended to show by expert opin-
ion that should the land be acquired by
the plaintiff and the railroad maintain
ed that it would tend to destroy the
development Of the water power of the
YOughiogheny river. Damage of such
magnitude would have been shown that,
it is understood, the plaintiff abandoned
the suit, rather than meet a contingent
cy that looked like burden. The Manor
Land and Oakland Railroad Company
will be permitted to operate its road
through the lands for the present, the
defendant through Attorney Reynolds
stating that it desired to put no obstacle
in the way Of the development of its i'm
mense timber interests. The Penn
Garrett Coal Mining Company owns
10000 acres in Garrett county, lying on
either side of the Youghiogheny river.
Mr.. Jacob S. Myers, member of the last
Maryland legislature was foreman Of
the jury of condemnation. The other
members being George d. Frazee, Ar
thur Chisholm, William Frederick, Jr.,
George Kolb, Salathel Savage, Robert
r. Liston, Edward Schlossnagle, Wal
ter Coddington, Leon Hardie, Lloyd
Reckner and w. w. Schlossnagle. The
jury went over the property on Thurs
day and met Friday morning to reach
decision when the proceedings were call
ed off by the attorney of the plaintiff.

LocuStS Says Big Crop.

Correspondents of the Valley news
papers says an old sign universally ac
cepted in this section promises bumper
corn crop this fall. Heavy locust
bloom, they say, means a great yield of
corn and old men asserts that they
have never seen the locust bear more
profusely than this year. Also the bees
are busy and singing in the trees. and
the outlook for honey is fine.

DAIRY NOTES.

Working In NTH about the dairy is
only habit.
Plant fodder corn and lots OF It
Then drill In some more.
The successful dairyman is kind to
his family because he is a kindly man.
There ls no reason why the barns
should not be clean at this time OF the
year.
When a man says he has a hard
time drying up cow, you may know
he has a good one
The farmer In medium circum'
stances can readily put himself in the
well on" class by handling a dairy
herd.
The average COW produces only
about 165 pounds Of butter yearly
She would produce more If she had
the chance.
Throw some corn fodder over the
fence to the cows II you can't spare
the time to put them In the barn ant
feed them there.

BAN ON BOX HANGERS.
Dairy Barns Now Being Built With
out Them.

There are many farmers who do not
approve OF the use Of box hangers
The best dairy barns are now built
without them. 1t has been realized
that they are not only an unnecessary
encumbrance but often they are ex-
tremely dangerous. The box manger
can not be kept clean--it hinders
ventilation and 1t prevents the COW
from feeding in her natural position,
With small corners and tall sides
the box can not be satisfactorily
swept nor cleaned of the odd scraps
of feed which collect. This accumu-
lating dirt and dust becomes moldy
and rotten, and attracts flies and rats.
IL is further harmful, in that 1t be-
comes gradually eaten by the cow and
is harmful to her. The box manger
affords roosting place for chickens
whose droppings become mixed with
the cows feed, with Injurious effects
Sweeping or shoveling the waste ma
terial from the manger does not thor
oughly clean the box, but remo'
only. ttheyyery largest pieces OF dirt
ttie small particles iandi dust remain
ing being able to do as much harm ai
the larger ones.
