CuItivates BrotherIy Love.

One OF the prime objects of the organiza-
tfon OF this association was to bring all
breeders and exhibitors together upon a
basis of equality in exposition interests.
Its designs and tendencies are to quiet all
feelings of jealousy, smooth out all the Inn
passioned and rufied sensiblities that the
misplaced premium ribbon has 50 frequently
been responsible for producing. In short. it
Is designed to create a feeling OF brotherly
love among the breeders of a community
and teach a broader recognition of interests
measured upon the true standard Of merit
The cornerstone that marks the beginning
OF the structure that this association has
% successfully planned and demonstrated
its practicability beyond venture was
laid in 1903 by Fred Buck, one of the recog-
nized enterprising and influential citizens
Of Wisner. This initiatory fair was held
In September Of that year in livery barn
and the adjoining sheds, and the entire
exhibit consisted OF fifteen cattle two pens
Of hogs and two horses. Mr.. Buck paying
all expenses.
The 1904 fair was likewise held In the
livery barn and surrounding sheds and
yards. but demonstrated greatly Increased
interest. not only by more exhibitors, but in
the attendance. The citizens of the town,
and especially the business men, met Mr..
Buck in this effort and raised s125 defray-
ing the expenses Of carrying on the fair.
The exhibits were of better quality and in
better condition and increased 100 to 3C
per cent In quantity. There were thirty
five cattle. six pens OF hogs and six horses
exhibited with a small display OF agricul.
tural products which were provided with
exhibition space in an adjoining building.
In 1906 the demands for increased accom-
modations for holding the fair suggested
nearby feed yard as the most available
space. The citizens were again called upon
TO assist Mr.. Buck and his co-workers, who
had by this time gathered TO his assistance
In the fair enterprise. The demand for
money to defray expenses had Increased In
proportion TO the magnitude OF the show
and $50 was the amount assessed. This
was readily contributed and sheds. pens and

revenue, with charge for business con-
cessions, are the only resources for pay
ing the expenses of holding the fair.
Horse racing and track amusements of
all kinds are excluded. Games of chance,
gambling devices of all sorts, and the OBJ
scene side show have part or lot with
the Wisner Live Stock and Agricultural
fair. The higher class entertainments OF
the vaudeville character are employed to
give free exhibitions on the grounds at
stated hours each day. These are SO ar
ranged that there is something OF an ANUS
ing and interesting character going on
every hour. and visitors are pleasantly and
probably entertained from the time they
enter the fair grounds until they leave.
.
Have Become Important Factors.
That the agricultural fair and live stock
show have become important factors in
the agricultural education and training OF
the farming and producing interests OF the
country, there is no disposition to question
or doubt. These training schools, where
the fruits of mans efforts are brought to-
gether I'm comparison, in the science OF
selection and mating to secure the most
desirable influence of heredity in plant and
animal life, stand as the greatest institu-
tions Of practical education of the present
day.
The wisner live stock enterprise has back
OF It one Of the richest agricultural districts
of country in the United States, Its field
for expansion covers the great Elkhorrs
valley and its tributary districts, which
embodies practically all of the rich grain
growing and hay producing lands of north
eastern Nebraska, a country exceptionally
rich in agricultural resources, district
with scarcely parallel in the intelligence
and spirit of its citizenship. With this
kind OF backing the pure bred live stock
industry of northeastern Nebraska bids
fair to soon be the rival Of any pure bred
district of country on the continent.

well directed efforts in the establishing Of
a sentiment for improved stock in this
locality, 1t cannot be more forcibly brought
to the attention of the reader than in tho
following example, where persons who at
tended the first Wisner fair, three years
ago. were heard to say that they would
not pay 500 for any bull or cow, and who
are today the owners of animals that have
cost them more than 81, 900 each. 1t is the
sowing of the seed of Improvement, the
calling of attention to the advantages that
the improved animal has over the scrub
that has brought about this change in the
Elkhorn valley. 1t is from the little be-
ginning that Fred Buck in his plain and
unceremonious way introduced, and per-
sistently urged upon the attention of his
neighbors that has seemingly, as IL by
magic, revolutionized the hive stock senti-
ment and interests of this district of the
country within the brief period Of three
years. In what other section of country
has there been such marvellous develop
ments in the introduction and Improvement
Of fine bred live stock7
1t Is authoritatively stated that within
the last year $4,000 has been paid in the
purchase of pure-bred stock within the
Wisner district and community. As evil
dence of what has been bought and brought
into this neighborhood we will mention a
few of the animals of more than local
notoriety and whose cost has ranged from
$500 to $500 each: Sweet Violet 4th. Hamp-
toms Lavender (red heifer), Ruberta,
Hampton's Queen of Beauty Runaway
