TO Calculate Congresses.

To determine the years covered by a
given congress double the number of
the congress and add the product to
1889. The result will be the year in
which the congress closed. Take, for
example. the Thirty-ffth congress.
Doubling it gives us seventy: add 1889
and we have 1859, the year in which.
ON March 4, the Thirty-ffth congress
closed. To find the number of a con-
gress sitting in any year subtract 1880
from the year If the result is an even
number half that number will give the
congress of which the year in question
saw the close. If the result is an odd
number add one. and half the result
will give the congress in which the
year in question was the first year.
Take. again, the congress sitting in
1853. SN0tract 1889 from 1858 and the
result is sixty-nine. Add one. making
seventy, and divide by two. showing
that the Thirty first congress was hold

are the vegetables grown on the farms.
