The Library Of Congress.

This stupendous collection embraces
full 100000 volumes. being the largest
single library In the United states. Some
years ago the library of the Smithsonian
Institute was merged into the Congress
sional Library, and has now become a
part and parcel oft. These books, CON-
prising works on almost every nutable
subject, numbered from thirty.fye to
forty thousand volumes, and are in
cluded in the above estimate. In classi-
lying che works herein, it is found that
ancient and modern story embrace the
largest collection, COR tanning about an
even one hundred thousand volumes.
Biography and travel stand next in or
der, and show some eighty thousand.
The law department, with its $1,000 VOL
umes, stands third on the list, and Of
poetry there are at least 10000. The
medical works present a very handsome
front OF 8,000, and standard novels COM
prise a carefuliy-selected list of
live thousand. No novels of lower
order than those commonly known as
standard are allowed in this valuable
collection, and were the seeker after
literary knowledge to ask for a work by
the versatile pens Of either Sylyanus
Cobb, jr., or DIR. j. HI. Robinson, he
would doubtless be doomed to disap-
lpointment. The remaining fifty-two
thousand unaceounted tOr may be re.
garded as including all sorts of rniscel-
laneOus works of so varied and extend
ed a character as to almost defy intelli-
gent classification; such as essays,
works Of mythology, books OF reference,
etc. H.
The books of this library are allowed
by law to be loaned out 10 the President
of the United States, members Of his
Cabinet, Judges Of the Supreme Court
and the Court Of Claims, the members of
the Senate and House OF Representa-
tiyes, and the DIPLOMATIC Corps In
Washington. The same privilege is also
extended by courtesy to many Of the
gentlemen employed in the Capitol
building, and to the clerks of Senators
and Representatives, or those who are
chairmen Of the different Congressional
Committees. To any person, male or
female. over the age OF nineteen years,
Is accorded the privilege OF going to the
library and reading at all times that the
rooms are open.
This library is especially rich in the
early American printed books, wi hich
were acquired through the Peter Force
library, and for which Congress appro-
priated the sum of 500, 600. Among the
works mostread by those who have the
privilege OF taking books away are his
tory, biography. travel, and Law. Stand
those who frequent the library rooms,
and by the female members Of the fam
ilies Of Senators and Representatives..
The library is maintained BY liberal APP
by Congress at each ses-
sion, and frequently receives valuable
from private sources. A. &.

Manure from Glover Hay or Wheat Straw

We make the following extract from Mr..
Harris paper 10 the american AgricuLtur-
aliSt, headed "WaIks and Talks :"
yesterday" said the Deacon, ga farmer
took load of clover hay to Rochester, aud
all he could get for it was $40 per ton.
Another farmer took load Of wheat straw,
and sold it readily for Sl2 per ton. This does
not look as though farmers had much faith
in your chemical notion, that the manure
from ton of clover hay is worth three times
as much as from ton of straw. The facts
seem to be against you" 80 much the
worse for the facts" l replied. But am
not going to argue that matter with you.
There are some things so well established,
that it is no use listening to the objections of
those who do not understand what they are
talking about, A farmer who sells clover
hay at the above prices, and keeps his straw,
is not wise man. When he can exchange
ton of straw for half ton Of bran, he had
better do It,"
"You pretend to be able to tell" said the
Deacon, "what a ton of manure is worth but
l notice that the chemists differ very much
among themselves as to the value of the same
identical manure, and do not see how you
can tell with any certainty how much good
a ton Of manure will do" No one pretends
to do 50. What we say is this Here are
two samples Of barnyard manure in about
the same condition. One contains twice as
much nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash,
as the other, and We say, if the one is worth
81 per ton the other is worth so per ton.
We do not say that fyou put 20 tons OF the
former, or 10 tons of the latter upon an acre
of land, the difference of the crops will be
worth $50. This may or may not be the
case. The chemists estimate of the value of
dfferent manures Is based on their chemical
composition and on the condition of the iu-
gradients. The chemist does not undertake
to tell farmer whether he can afford TO buy
sulphate Of ammonia, or nitrate of soda, to
SOW on his wheat or barley crop. But if
you are going to SOW those manures, the
chemist can tell you to a certainty which of
two samples is the cheapest for YOU to buy.
For instance, he finds that one sample con.
tains 22 per cent. Of ammonia, and the other
Is per cent, If he tells you the latter is
worth s72 per ton aud the former S8S per
ton, he merely uses these figures in COM
paratiye sense. III he should say the one
was worth S36, and the other S44, he would
be equally correct. He has nothing to do
with the commercial value on the one hand,
or the fertilzing value on the other. The
latter must be determined by the experience
