TIE NEW O LEDGER
FOR 1868

The reason that the NEW YORK LED
GER has the largest circulation is that it is the
BEST p Why should it not have the
largest circulation More labor, more talent,
more money, are bestowed upon it than upon
any other paper. Its moral tone is always
pure and elevated. The rule on which the
LEDGER is conducted, is to get the best of
everything. The public recognize this fact :;
and it is from their desire to obtain the very
best paper that they give the LEDGER the
preference; hence its unparalleled and unap-
preached circulation, being over three hun
dred thousand copies.
All our present corps of popular and emf
nent authors will continue to write for the

Gardening i'm Southern Louisiana
FOR JUNE. f..

Not much can be done in the garden
this month. bitches should be kept
open, aisles scraped and cleaned out,
grass and weeds should be kept down,
cabbages wormed, and if the Spanish or
blister fly invades the garden, dry shucks
or hay should be thrown down near
them, the flock driven into the litter, U.S.
ing q han6ful of bushes in driving them
along, and then the hay should be burn
ed. Or, if a bright fire is built close by
their feeding ground, in a. dark night,
they will fly to it and be. burned up.
. Pole beans may be planted for a sec
ond crop ; also sweet corn for roasting
ears. Tomato and okra seed may still
be planted !; also squash. cucumber, mel
ons, lettuce. pepper, roquette, celery and
cabbage. On the full Of the moon Of this
month plant cabbage seeds on deep, rich,
moist soil, Tor the fall garden. Plant
cow peas and lady peas.
June is usuallya dry month, and if
the garden is not in good condition and
we'll worked young plants may suffer,
and some of them may become worthless.
Every part of the garden should be dali.
ly inspected, and the hoe should be &C
lively engaged in destroying weeds ahd
keeping the surface mellow.
Gabbages are very important fall
and winter gardens, but most peo do
not succeed in getting good pIal till
September. 1t requires great 1 and
attention, and peculiar kind soil to
produce good cabbage plants he sum-
mer months. Some old leners in
