who own horses will have to do their own horseshoeing if they want 

 it properl}' clone, and they will have to learn how to do it. 



1 thank you for your attention and I hope that we may have some- 

 thing done to better the condition of the horseshoers of Pennsyl- 

 vania and the surrounding states. 



MR. FENSTERMAKER : Mr. Chairman, if you want your farms 

 all cut up just make common carriers of the trolley roads and give 

 them the right of eminent domain. That is the reason why I am 

 opposed to these resolutions covering that point. 



MR. HERR: Mr. Chairman, I move that Mr. Brosius be given the 

 privilege of the floor. 



The motion being seconded and the question put, it was agreed to. 



MR. BROSIUS: Mr. Chairman, I simply wish to speak for a 

 moment upon this railroad question. The trolley has come to us 

 and it has come to our farms, and it has come to stay. The trolley 

 is to circle our vallej's and climb our hills and the steam railroad 

 never can come that way. A steam railway can never be brought 

 to our farms. To give the trolley roads the rights proposed may 

 Injure some individuals, may injure the feelings of some people who 

 own the farms and homesteads, yet for the good of the whole, we 

 have given steam railroads the right to divide our farms and go 

 everywhere in the State except in your homesteads. More people 

 will be benefited by trolley railroads than by steam railroads, and 

 they ought to have the rights which will enable them to efficiently 

 perform the work necessary for the good of the whole people. 



I do not want to go upon record nor have it go upon record from 

 this institute that we are opposed to eminent domain for trolley 

 railroads, because I think they ought to have it. 



The chairman stated that it was important that a part of this 

 period be divided and the period following and requested Mr. Glover 

 to come forward and take the chair. 



Dr. Conard stated that there was a course in horseshoeing in the 

 University of Pennsylvania. 



Mr. Glover took the Chair. 



Prof. Menges asked leave to amend the resolution relating to 

 horseshoers so that it might not be in conflict with existing facts. 



Leave was granted and Prof. Menges, as Secretary of the Com- 

 mittee on Resolutions amended that particular resolution in con- 

 formity with the understanding arrived at, being authorized so to do 

 by the motion of Mr. Hutchison, duly seconded. 



The CHAIR: We will now take up the first number on our pro- 

 gram, which as you Avill see is, "On What do the Dairy Profits De- 

 pend?" By Prof. H. E. Van Norman, Department of Dairy Hus- 

 bandry, State College. 



Prof. Van Norman read his paper as follows:
