Description:Excerpt from Twenty-First Annual Report of the Secretary of the Maine Board of Agriculture: For the Year 1876 I have the honor to transmit herewith, the Annual Report of the Maine Board of Agriculture for the year 1876. The annual meeting was held at Lemont Hall, in Brunswick, February 8th, 9th and 10th, 1876, at which the following officers were duly elected: President, J. E. Shaw of Hampden; Vice President, Ira E. Getchell of Vassalboro'; Secretary, Samuel L. Boardman of Augusta. The usual committees for the year were appointed, the new members qualified and took their places at the Board; after which an eloquent and appropriately worded address of welcome was given by Hon. Charles T. Gilman of Brunswick. The public exercises then opened with the reading of a paper by the Secretary, on the place which the horse should occupy at our agricultural exhibitions. This paper was prepared in accordance with the instructions of the Board, and will be found in full at page 120 of this volume. After its reading, a general discussion of the same was engaged in, which occupied the entire forenoon. With a few exceptions, the speakers endorsed the views presented in the essay. So far as breeding was concerned, it was believed it should be the aim of our farmers to breed a good moving, stylish, well proportioned, kind, serviceable class of horses, of good size, good for the road, the farm, the heavy load - with good speed added to other desirable qualities - and not waste so much effort in the endeavor to raise a two-thirty horse from material that will hardly produce a three-minute one. Concerning the matter of speed, there was little diversity of opinion, and in the main the position taken in the paper was supported. Mr. Gilbert said it was much easier to find fault with than to correct the handling of horses at exhibitions.
