TO EXCHANGE PAPERS. 
Please to take Notice. —Ever since we have 
conducted this journal, we have exchanged freely 
with all respectable papers desiring it, and shall be 
happy to continue to do so, wherever we are fairly 
dealt by. We regret, however, to say, that in 
several instances this is not the case, and that a 
few papers are in the habit of making up their agri¬ 
cultural department almost entirely from ours, 
without giving the least credit whatever, and some 
of them have the unblushing impudence to put 
such matter in leaded type, under the editorial head. 
We have frequently, privately and otherwise, re¬ 
monstrated against this injustice—but to no effect ; 
we now give such papers warning, that if they 
continue to quote from us without credit, we shall 
stop the exchange. Another class of exchanges 
when they copy from us, merely add at foot, “ Am. 
Ag.” We think they ought to give the title of this 
journal in full, or nearly so— Arner. Agriculturist. 
A few other papers are in the habit of reprinting 
our periodical almost entirely, as fast as it appears. 
We can only say to such, that this journal costs us 
a good deal of hard labor to edit it, and several thou¬ 
sand dollars a year money paid out to printers and 
paper-makers, and the course they are thus pursuing 
is injurious to our interests. We therefore add, that 
while it gives us pleasure to see occasional articles 
copied from our periodical, we must object to so 
faithful a reprint, and warn those doing it, if they 
persist, we shall be under the necessity hereafter of 
copyrighting every number of the Agriculturist as 
fast as it appears. 
Fruit-Trees for the South. —Persons living 
South where they will require fruit-trees from the 
North, to be planted out in January or February, 
are reminded that it is important to make their 
orders before the ground closes, as they cannot 
afterwards be conveniently taken up. 
AGRICULTURAL WAREHOUSE IN NEW 
ORLEANS. 
Mr. R. L. Allen, whose name is familiar to 
the readers of the Agriculturist, will leave here 
early during the present month, for the purpose of 
establishing an Agricultural Warehouse in New 
Orleans. Such an enterprise seems to be demanded, 
if we can judge correctly from the numerous solici¬ 
tations we have received on this subject from our 
Southern friends. They can order their general 
supplies of staple agricultural implements from us 
here, without material inconvenience ; but to fill up 
their intermediate and occasional demands, and 
especially in supplying themselves with new and 
recently improved implements, &c., they need ail 
establishment nearer home. To accommodate this 
demand is the object of the proposed undertaking, 
which, we doubt not, will be fully sustained by our 
friends and the enterprising planters generally at 
the South. 
Mr. Allen will travel through the Atlantic and 
Gulf states, and both in New Orleans and on his 
route, will receive orders for Messrs. Ruggles, 
Nourse & Mason, of Boston and Worcester, Mass., 
and for our agricultural establishment, 187 Water 
Street, New York; and also receive subscriptions 
and establish agents for the American Agriculturist, 
of which he will be a regular correspondent from 
the South. All letters or orders may be addressed to 
him to our care, till the 15th of this month, after 
that, to New Orleans. W e commend him to the 
attention of our friends, and anything they may do 
to further the objects of his tour, and establishment 
at New Orleans, will be gratefully reciprocated by 
us in this city.
