rial correspondence of the Louisville Journal:
AMIR. A. Allen, editor Of the American Ag-
ricollurist, "a monthly published in New York
city at one dollar year, and which cannoabe
too highly recommended 10 the agricultural pub
lic,) treated me with politeness, and furnished
me letters 10 his agricultural friends through
out the country. Ihope shall be able 10 WIS.,
