THE AGRICULTURAL LIBRARY. 



The State agricultural library connected with the office of 

 the Secretary of the Board, has received but few accessions 

 during the past year, there having been no appropriation from 

 which new additions could be procured. It is desirable that 

 this valuable collection of books, the most extensive, at the 

 present time, of any of a similar character in New England, 

 should be kept up with the times, and every effort will be made 

 to procure such additions, from time to time, as the means at 

 command make practicable.
