@rA statement is going the rounds
of the papers saying that "Matt Ward the
murderer" is in New Orleans driving fine
horses, and enjoying all the courtesies Of
life usually extended to respectable men.
A correspondent Of the New York Obser-
yer, in writing from New Orleans says
that this is a great mistake, and adds:
cat the st. Charles Hotel, last winter, at
the balls, every lady who knew who he
was refused his hand in dancing, and no
father or brother would introduce him to
their relatives. He is considered here a
murderer, and an outcast, with the
mark Of Cain branded on his brow" We
should be inclined to credit this statement,
as Matt Ward left New Orleans some
time since, and has since been living in a
very retired manner in Louisville.

TURNING OUT STOCK EARLY.

Most farmers greatly injure their pastures by
turning their stock out upon them too carly
They ought to wait till the ground has become
so firm and compact that the cattle will not
poach it; and the grass should be sufficiently
high to give them good bite, without being
obliged TO gnaw down to the roots. Woodland
pastures are the only exception to this rule
On those it is no matter how early stock is turn
ed. The grass here is not 50 valuable as on
open lands, and the leaves still upon the ground
Of the previous years forest growth, are gener-
ally sufficient to prevent its being poached; be-
sides it is necessary to turn out early on such
pastures, in order TO give the stock the benefit
Of the browse.
When the early grass is eaten off too soon,
it leaves the roots exposed to spring frosts and
il dry weather follows, the pasture will scarcely
recover all summer. But let the grass get a
good thick start and then ii not over stocked, il
will keep growing till late in autumn unless i,
happens 10 be particularly dry.
Sufficient attention is not paid to our pastur-
es. They ought 10 be narrowed every spring,
with a fine sharp-tooth harrow, all the manure
droppings heat fine, and grass seed sown over
all bare or thin spots After this heavy roller
may advantageously follow.
Spread salt over weedy or bushy places, after
cutting them oil, and the stock after this will
gnaw the heritage so close as to prevent the fii-
ture growth of the weeds, &c. The following
year such spots should be well narrowed and
grass seed sown thickly over them. 1t would
be well to keep the stock off of them until the
grass has we'll set they NAV then he turned nm

TOP ONIONS.

MEssRs EDIroRs:-l have several letters
from your State within few days, inqurinp
about top onions. And TO save work and let,
ter postage to write to all, permit me to do il
al once through your paper.
!. The top onion seed has the shape Of an
onion. Its bigness is from that of kernel Of
corn to doves egg. The same onion may be
set out for seed year after year. But if you
wish to raise large, good onion, to use or sell
plant the seed.
2, Sow the seed as early as you can work
the ground. They will have ample time to
grow, planted in July but like leeks, they
grow best in April. No matter how much
snow falls on them or if the ground should
freeze, il only seems, afterwards, 10 hasten
their growth.
3. Plow your ground, put on the top, well
rotted manure, SOW on ashes, harrow or rake
thoroughly, row il cut about inches apart,
place your seed from two to four inches apart
on the row, cover the seed a little ont Of sight,
so that perhaps the first shower will bring many
OF the seeds little in sight, tramp on the
bed as much as you please while you are max
ing and sowing, especially on the row after the
seeds are sown.
a. Aiier planting the seed, SOW on common
salt, which you can find in old fish barrels in
the stores. When your onions are we'll up and
growing, it is well often to take ashes and plas-

steel Ploo. In fact, there is hardly any soil, ia
which steel pillow will not clean much easier
than the best iron pillow we have yet seen. The
difference between the draft Of a steel, and an
iron pillow, from careful experiments, is found TO
be very great, growing out of the fact that the
steel plow constantly presents polished surface
TO the resisting soil. The advantage oil this to
both man and team, will be readily conceived
by any practical farmer.

PLANT EARLY.--If the spring is cold, and
backward, we often hear them say, "corn is
better out OF the ground, than in it,
Well, now, friends, you were never more mis-
taken in your lives. II the frost is out Of the
ground, and the weather warm enough to sprcut
it, corn had better be in the ground. Il may
be kept back, like talented step-son but its
energies are accommodating, and as soon as a IA
vorable opportunity offers, its latent powers will
show themselves.
While the top is kept down by the chill air
its roots, protected by The earth, are spreading,
and striking deep, which will enable il to stand
the heat and drought of midsummer.
Corn tops will not grow much while the Their
mometer is below seventy degrees, but the
roots will, so that they become disproportioned
to the top. Corn planted later, will often over
take it in growth, but the early planted will RI
pen at least two weeks earlier than the late
planted, and having so much root, is not SO
much injured by the drought.
For good, full crop, corn should be planted
so as TO glaze before the middle Of September.
You may as well undertake to ripen water
melons by moonshine, as corn by the bleakwinds
