The Huntington Globe. and Journal
of the same place, have for some time
past been engaged in a furious warfare
against each other, or rather against theil
respective friends. Most people seem to
believe it purely personal matter. and
as such deem it of not much Importance,
as the old lady thought about the beal
and her husband she did not care which
whipped"
There is, however, in it more than per-
sonal concern There is in it that which
seriously concerns the people Of Hunt
ingdon county particularly, and all peo,
pie outside of Huntingdon county gen
orally. The controversy reveals the as.
founding fact that regular system Of
jury packing has been in practice in
Huntingdon county for years past, how
many, is not learned from the articles OF
the Globe and Journal. The courts in
that county, instead of being courts Of
Justice, have been courts of injustice by
the miserable practice Of INSCRIPTIONS
lawyers and their clients packing juries
with their ardent and in many cases-ii
these papers are worthy of belief, and in
the main we believe them-with their
promised friends, for the sole purpose OF
carrying their cases With these start
ling declarations in view, the two papers
should be encouraged to keep up the
f eht until all of the unfair, unjust and
unlawful work that should send the per-
petrators to prison is exposed. The peo-
ple should know of such jugglery so that
they may guard against it and mete out
the proper treatment to all who engage
in it. The thought of a man going to
court for justice, and there have jury
sit on his case who are set up in the in
terest of a certain client and his lawyer,
is too outrageous to entertain for mo-
ment, without ever attempting to put it
into execution and yet that is the kind
of Justice some men have been trying to
get through the courts of Huntington
county, according to said papers. Such
work is not justice, it is the gros'est OF
injustice.

But in the next coop there was great

Crop Reports.

A report Of the Bureau of Agriculture,
just published, gives the following facts
concerning the prospects of the grain crops
Winter wheat, mostly homestead, of 1853
counties from which reports have been re-
eeiyed, 202 are above the average l6S
average, and 35l below. OF 800 counties
reporting spring wheat, 10l are above the
average, lis average, and 6S below, The
acreage Of winter wheat is somewhat iu-
creased, though many fields have been
winter killed, aud plowed up for spring
wheat and other crops. The acreage OF
spring wheat is very largely increased, and
especially IN the northwest is unusually
promising The indications Of the crops Of
1878 are considered at least equal TO those
Of June, 1872, when the department estl-
mated the prospective crop at 900, 0000 600
bushels. The subsequent condition Of the
growth raised the estimate Of the year in
the annual report of 1872 mot yet pub
lished), to 249, 1907 .020 bushels. With
equally favorable conditions, the yield may
be safely set down at 100000, 600 bushels.
Insect ravagcs, however, are reported in
spring wheat, indicating serious loss in some
localities. There is an increased acreage
of oats and rye, and these crops are both
in fair condition in most sections Of the
country.

About the climate.


There was strong reason 70 suppose, more
than scvcnlyyoars ago that there was per-
ccpiihlc change in the climate oF New Eng
land. II was generally ascribed, even at
that day, to thc wholesale destruction OF
our forests. The cutting down Of forests
especially on the hillsidts aud mountains,
opeucd the country 90 moro intense irosts-
to the winds and the SUP, aud that caused
more frequent changes IN the weather, and
naturally led to greater extremes both Of
heat and Of cold.
We cannot say positively from facts
based on careful observations Of the Their
momoier, what the actual degree OF change
has been, but we suspect il could beproved
that the heat extends farther into the au-
tumn than formerly, and the effect Of that
is to cause an untimcly swcIingof the fruit
buds, and TO mako fruit growing more pre-
carous It is probable, too, that our mod
ern winter weather is more changeable and
inconstaut than when the country was bet
ter wooded It is probable that as the
winds are more variable the snow does not
lie SO long on an average Of years, as 1t
formerly did, notwithstanding few cxcep-
tional winters ike the last, so that the
earth is exposed 10 much greater extent
to the severe cold and to alternate freezing
and thawing, which is so destructive to
peaches and some other kinds Of fruit
Sudden and great extremes Mil the buds
and no doubt greatly iniure thetracs thcm-
selves. while Oh the same time, Che cold is

Ifthose who manufacture our wool, grain,
flax, hemp, hides, etc. etc, and who con-
sumo our beef, pork, grain, fruit, vcgota-
bles, butter, cheese, cotton, etc, are close
at hand, and supply us with our manufac-
tured necessities in exchange for our raw

dlemen cannot be levied, cur money is kept
circulating at home, aud the relation Of
values is not fuctuating nor uncertain.
Each locality is commercial centre that
regulates its own affairs aud scarcely feels
the influences of a panic in Wall street or
an advance in discount rates in the Bank
of England. But so long as exchanges
must be made through Wall street and the
Bank Of England, so long may our farmers
rest assured that their profits will be both
small and uncertain, with only exceptional
cases.
The recent report of j. r. Dodge, Statis-
tican OF the Department Of Agriculture in
relation to the " Discouragements of Farm
ers and their Remedies" proves this posi-
ton. While general discouragcment is re-
ported as existing among agriculturalists,
Mr.. Dodge declares that az small minority
Of the reports show that 10 cause for dis
couragement exists. They are scattered

Small Beginnings.

There was once New England lad, Erastus
b. Bigelow, who began life very poor. But
the boy had talent for work, and was in.
genious and industrious. A good old far.
mer used to pat the little fellow on the head
and ask him, jokingly, to come over to his
place aud learn to be a farmer.
The lad believed that business was bust.
ness, and turned the offer over and over in
his mind. AT length he decided to take up
with it, and getting consent at home, he
walked away to the farmhouse in perfect
confidence in the farmers word. Mr..
T though good deal surprised, set
the boy to work, expecting he would give
out before night, and tiot off home. But
the child performed faithfully his tasks,
and was delighted with all around him,
especially pet lamb named Dolly, which
he took u great fancy to. Dolly would
follow him about his work, and the boy had
always caress for her. Finally, when
Saturday night came, the boy ventured to
suggest that he should make some arrange
ments about his wages. The farmer, with
merry twinkle in his eye, asked the child
his terms. The boy had his mind made up.
He offered to work for him six months ii
he would give him Dolly at the end of that
time The moderate demand was accepted
and the boy worked faithfully for his be.
loved pet. But finally trouble arose in
his mind. He would be like the man who
won an elephat in the lottery. What could
he do with it2 How could he feed it after
he took il away from the farm2 1t gave
the child many anxious hours, and the
workmen on the place rather enjoyed his
increasing perplexity. Finally, the farmer
suggested that he should give up Dolly and
take Il stout pair of cowhide boots and
Sleeps gray cloth for suit, in place Of
her. The little fellow wisely accepted the
proposal, though not without many tug at
his heartstrings. After his six months
were up he had proved so useful that he
was hired over for the season, at dollar q
week and board The farmer gave him,
besides, bright silver dollar when he left
him, and these first earnings were the
foundation stone of great fortune he was
afterwards able to amass. 1t was fairly
laid by honest, faithful industry, and this Is
capital any boy may have to begin life
with, Presbyterian.

Restored Meadows.

One Of the most enectual means ofrGstor-
ing meadow land to productive state is a
topdressing Of the rough rotted manure
applied early after the hay crop had been
taken of. Let it be evenly spread over
the surface---it may seem but a small APP
plication, but on the opening of the spring
it will be seen that the portion so treated
will be the earliest and most productive OF
your meadow. This mode Of treatment
will save time and money, and the result
will be more lasting turf than would be
produced ID the breaking up" process.

English Farming and American.

In an address to the farmers Of New
Jersey, the other day, the orator Of the &C.
casion alluded to the fact that in England,
in less than q century, the production Of
wheat had risen from 100000 to l00,-
100000 bushels. This enormous increase
he attributes to systematic attention to all
the requirements of good farniug 10 the
skill and exaetuess with which all the oper-
atoms are performed to their careful Sc
lection OF the best varieties Of seed, and to
the extensive and good use Of their barnyard
manure. Nothing is left to casualty or
chance No expectations are INDUCED in
that an unusually favorable season will
atone for shortcomings or neglect. He al.

which bones came into general use as a fer,

valued al the custom house at 81 100000
since which time it is estimated that tn,
amount paid for imported bones alon
amounts to Sl50,000000.
