As the time is at hand wheno our patrons may
be laying Of their experimental plots of ground,
we have though. that it would save them trou-
bic if we were to place them a table oi distan-
ces, each OF which would include an exact acre
The usual course with most farmers is 70 step
of 20 yards each way for an acre, but this
gives 1900 square yards, and as there are but
1910 square yards in an acre, thereisan excess
of so square yards, as determined by the above
rule. And as accuracy as to quantity of land,
should always be sought in every experiment,
we have calculated the following table Of dis

There's None on Earth like Mother

Sweet is the song of birds
In summers leafy wildwood,
But sweeter far the words
That grace a loving childhood.
The streamlet utters low
The love it i'll can smother,
The human heart alone can know
There's none on earth ike mother.
When in far distant lands,
Though skies are bright above US,
We sigh for gentle hands,
And smiles Of those who love US;
So down the dreary years
We follow one another;
Yet murmur through our binding tears,

The Times and other johnson organs, which
expcnd so much pains in the defense of Messrs.
Ross, Fowler, Van Wrinkle and others of the
seven, would make that defense good deal
more pertinent, even if it were not stronger,
by bearing in mind the exact charge brought
against the gentlemen in question We find
no fault with any mans voting to acquit the
President if his conscience tells him to do so.
We have made no complaint of the Senators
who all along spoke their convictions boldly
and honestly The oifense of Ross, Fowler,
and their colleagues is that, having spoken for
conviction up to the last moment, they then
turned around and voted against it; that hav-
ing done their utmost to push the Republican
party into this conflict With Executive usurpa-
ton they lost heart and deserted their colors
in the critical hour. They made mp the fight
and then ran away.
