For the purpose of obtaining a complete list, and 
samples of all the journals in the country, (that we 
may have them on file for advertising purposes of 
ourself and others,) we send this number as an Ex¬ 
change to every paper not now on our exchange 
books—so far as we can get the address. Please 
send at least one or two copies of your paper ad¬ 
dressed: American Agriculturist, New-York City. 
We will he happy to place any journal desiring it, 
on our exchange list, for a time at least, and contin¬ 
uously, if mutually desirable. Those papers not 
now' receiving the Agriculturist, and wishing a further 
exchange, will please send a copy marked X- We 
hope ultimately to be able to have a card or adver¬ 
tisement of the Agriculturist in most of the Jour- 
nals of the country, and shall this year advertise as 
extensively as we can find time to attend to. We 
believe the Agriculturist is worthy a place in every 
family in the country, or if it is not, we mean to 
make it so, and then to try to get it there. 
We should be glad to have those journals which 
have not already noticed the Agriculturist insert an 
editorial notice, something like the one below, if 
agreeable. Whenever this is done, and a marked 
copy sent, the paper w’ill be placed on our exchange 
list, at least until the end of 1861; and we hope to 
reciprocate the favor in some more substantial man¬ 
ner, hereafter. We will at least keep a copy of your 
paper on file to be referred to by advertisers. 
[We think our cotemporaries can consistently 
copy a notice like the following. No effort or- ex¬ 
pense is spared to make the Agriculturist, not only 
practical, but every way reliable.] 
A Good Paper for Every Family. 
All our readers may not be acquainted with one 
of the most valuable agricultural and family jour¬ 
nals in the country, now' in its nineteenth volume. 
A Ye refer to the American Agriculturist, which is a 
large and beautiful journal, devoted to the practical 
labors of the Field, Garden, and the Household. It 
is prepared by practical men (and women) who 
know what they write about, and it gives a great 
amount of valuable information, useful not only to 
farmers, gardeners, stock-raisers, fruit growers, and 
those who have little village plots, but also to every 
family. We advise our readers to send §1 to the 
publisher, Orange .Judd, 41 Park-Row, New-York, 
and try the Agriculturist a year. A specimen copy 
can doubtless be had by sending to the publisher. 
Those subscribing now' for the twentieth volume, 
(1861,) will get the remaining numbers of this year 
without charge.

Acknow ledginent. 
Our especial thanks are due to our cotemporaries for the 
very favorable and generous manner, in which they have 
noticed the recent change in the location of n ur office. 
We shall be happy to see our editorial brethren at our 
new quarters, whenever they come this way. 
From the Netc-York Daily Times, Sept. 5. 
A Good Indication from Cultivators.— 
Those who have had occasion to pass the Times Build¬ 
ings during a few days past, will have noticed a new oc¬ 
cupant in the commodious premises adjoining the publi¬ 
cation office of this paper, and extending from No. 41 
Park Row through to No. 151 Nassau-st. Tile American 
Agriculturist, now closing up its nineteenth year, has de¬ 
serted its ancient habitation among the agricultural 
warehouses on VVater-st , and has taken up its abode for 
the next ten years, at least, in Hie very center of the 
great newspaper establishments of the City' that have 
for some time past been concentrating around “Printing 
House Square.” The eminent success of the American 
Agriculturist, which now counts its 59,000 subscribers, 
while due in part to the correct policy of the publisher, 
v j z _ to get up Hie best possible paper w ithout regard to 
expense, and then to make it widely known by liberal ad¬ 
vertising—is also an indication of the increased desire 
on the part of cultivators for information upon the best 
methods of tilling the soil. The present circulation of 
the Agriculturist, it may be remarked, is greater than 
that of the entire agricultural press only a few years ago. 
A Thoroughly Independent 
Journal. 
For particular reasons, we desire to state here a fact, 
well understood by our older readers, viz.: that the 
American Agriculturist is totally independent of all out¬ 
side interests The proprietor has not the slightest pe¬ 
cuniary interest in the manufacture or sale of any imple¬ 
ment, fertilizer, plant, or other article ; and should any 
one of the several associate or contributing editors be¬ 
come connected with any enterprise which would be 
likely to warp his judgment, it would be considered am¬ 
ple reason for dissolving his connection with tiiis journal. 
The position we aim at, is like that of an attorney or 
counsellor, specially employed to promote the individual 
and general interests of our readers, and to defend them 
to the utmost of our ability. We have endeavored to 
keep this in view, not only in the reading, but even in the 
advertising columns, so far as practicable ; and hence 
we have, as a general rule, rejected patent medicine and 
humbug advertisements, though repeatedly offered large 
sums above our usual terms to insert them. Advertise¬ 
ments from persons believed to be unreliable in their 
business transactions, have also been excluded. If in the 
editorial columns we describe or commend any article, it 
is done for the benefit of the readers. We have no right 
toiecommend or “favorably notice,”or even advertise 
any article simply for the benefit of the manufacturer or 
seller, or for pay received.—” Better one suffer than 
many,” is the true motto-better that one inventor, man¬ 
ufacturer, or seller, remain poor, than that the many 
should purchase his wares at a price beyond their value.

A PERPETUAL EXHIBITION. 
Convenient tables are now arranged in the large 
room of the American Agriculturist Office for the exhi¬ 
bition of Fruits, Flowers, and other Agiicultural and 
Horticultural Products. We have already had a fine show 
of flowers, with some fruit, which have been visited by 
many thousands, and we expect soon to have large con¬ 
tributions of interesting natural objects, including con¬ 
stant additions of plants and flowers in bloom fit the va¬ 
rious seasons of the year. Plants from the Green House 
will supply a pleasing winter display. Residents of 
this city, and all others coming here will, therefore, find 
it worth their while to drop in at 41 Park Row when 
passing that way. 
Cultivators are invited to send interesting products 
to our tables. We will endeavor to provide room for 
all objects interesting to the public. (A portion of our 
room is still used, temporarily, by the former occupants, 
the AmericanHydropult Company, who will amuse call¬ 
ers with a display of their apparatus. As soon as re¬ 
quired the whole of the floor, unoccupied by our ow n 
business desks, will be given up to exhibition purposes.)
