LIBRARY. 



To the Illinois State Board oj Agriculture. 



Gentlkmkn— An unusually small number of herd and stud books was 



added to the library last year, thouph it is intended to keep this part of the 

 library as nearly up to date as possible. 



In addition to these are a large number of exchanpfes from other states and 

 from Washington, while our large list of periodicals devoted to agricultural 

 subjects is replenished weekly with the current numbers. 



Your committee on library having visited the storeroom of the board in 

 the basement, recommends that the surplus volumes of the reports of the 

 board therein stored in excess of 500 volumes of each year, be removed with- 

 out expense to the board, in order to make room for the 1901 report now 

 being printed. Your committee does not feel that there is any necessity for 

 keeping the great bulk of old volumes, which have accumulated, and respect- 

 fully recommends that the same be disposed of without delay. 



A list of books and periodicals received during 1901 is herewith appended,
