suggested by reason of our purchasing a 
carload ourselves, and not realizing before 
that it was so good and cheap we surmise 
that some of our readers may also be ben- 
efitted by the knowledge. 
Orange Judd and the A. A. The 
Orange Judd Co., of New York, send us a bundle of 
circulars and papers marked in a way to plainly 
suggest that we are expected to retract the state¬ 
ment made in our last issue to the effect that Orange 
Judd was the founder and builder of the American 
Agriculturist. The November number of the A. A., 
contains an excellent engraved portrait of Mr. A. B. 
Allen, who, it is plainly stated, was “the founder (in 
1842,) and for 14 years the editor of the Agricultur¬ 
ist." This first places Orange Judd in possession of 
it in 1856. Late numbers of the paper, and circulars 
issued by it, also loudly assert that “Dr. Geo. Thur- 
ber has been its Editor-in-chief for nearly a quarter 
of a century.” This would carry his reign back to 
1859. This, as our readers will observe, leaves an in¬ 
terval of but three jrnars during which the public 
may suppose Orange Judd was its editor. Now let 
us see what the former volumes of the Agriculturist 
say in the premises. The oldest volume in our libra¬ 
ry gives on its title page “Orange Judd, a. m., Editor,” 
and on each number “Orange Judd, a. m., Publisher 
and Proprietor’” These continued until the issue of 
October, 1865, when “& Co.” was added, and that is¬ 
sue states editorially that this change relates to the 
addition of Mr. Lucius A. Chase to the business de¬ 
partment of the paper. It says this “will relieve Mr. 
Judd somewhat in the severe double labors of pub¬ 
lisher and responsible editor that have pressed upon 
him for more than a dozen years past. As chief pro¬ 
prietor, however, Mr Judd will continue to constant¬ 
ly superintend and advise in all departments ,” but 
will be able to “give more time to editorial work.” 
How long he continued to do this we do not know, 
but in May last (1884) the publishers state that “some 
three years ago, the trustees desired Orange Judd 
to sever his connection with the paper. This was 
done and “subsequently Orange Judd individually- 
failed for $141,000.” After this he “went west” and 
connected himself with the Prairjp Farmer, and then 
was guilty of the unpardonable crime of announcing 
that he would like “his old readers and friends to 
send him a postal giving their present location and 
address.” % 
The managers of the Agriculturist became fearful 
that these might be used in soliciting subscriptions 
to the Prairie Farmer to the injury of the Agricul¬ 
turist, and so are using their space to be-little him 
before the eyes of the public. This is a view of the 
situation as seen by a disinterested eye. We are not 
in the habit of meddling with other peoples private 
affairs, and had not the publishers made this affair 
public, by posting it in their own columns, we would 
have made no allusion to it. We think the w'orld is 
large enough for both Orange Judd and the Orange 
Judd Co., to exist without conflicting, and we pre¬ 
sume the old gentleman will find it hard enough to 
renew the battle of life and retrieve some of his lost 
fortunes if let alone, and so repeat that, in our opin¬ 
ion, silence would better serve ihe purposes of the 
present editors of the Agriculturist, than continual¬ 
ly striving to depreciate Orange Judd in the eyes of 
the public. The Agriculturist is still a splendid 
paper; good enough and cheap enough to stand on 
its own bottom without fear of any competitor, and 
to its proprietors we will only reiterate the old 
advice. “B 3 truthful, be courteous, be charitable, 
be honest, and you may be happy.”
