Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1873-03-14

secretary, Mr. hent, IN naming some men 10
write essays Oh different branches of farming
to be read at this meeting, named me to
write one on horse trotting | thought then
that the appointment might have been made
as bnrlesque on the trotting horse, or thrown
in perhaps, to enliven the meeting, as it usu-
ally is in meetings of this kind when allusiou
is made to trotting men or horses either to
create laugh, in ridicule, or derison But
an after thought has convinced me that the
subject was an excellent selection, and C the
worthy secretary had only selected better
author for this essay, it might have been
made an interesting topic.
Mr.. President, | am thankful that the
trotter has a foothold in this society, aud
trust and hope that he will improve in posi-
tion until our intelligent farmers and breed
ers can see the vast importance Of giving this
subject more attention. l. also, sir, am SEN
sible how incapable am in the few words
| shall say tonight, of giving anything like
the clearness that the subject demands. But,
