Library. 



During the past year quite a number of recent works on 

 agriculture and kindred subjects, and works of reference, 

 have been added to the office library ; also a number of the 

 annual reports or transactions of societies, experiment sta- 

 tion bulletins and other pamphlets, have been bound and 

 placed on the shelves for preservation and in a convenient 

 form for future reference. 



An effort has been made to complete the files of the trans- 

 act ions or annual reports of the several societies which are 

 now or have been represented on the Board of Agriculture. 

 The files of several societies have been made complete. 

 The copies named below are lacking, and it is hoped that 

 the officers of the several societies or others will assist in 

 completing the files that are now incomplete. There are a 

 number of duplicates in the office, which will be sent to 

 societies wishing them.
