county, which has been a pronounced
success from the very beginning. Ii
fact, its popularity grew to such pro-
portions that last year a splendid
stock pavilion, capable Of accommo.
dating many hundreds Of people with
room to display very large number
OF live stock was built at an expense
OF several thousands of dollars. The
pavilion is permanently and very
substantially built of the best mater
ial and is handsomely painted and
makes very attractive appearance.
On the same grounds are arranged q
large number of fine stalls and pens
for the accommodation Of the animals
brought to the exhibition. During
the three days of the exhibition farm
ers have the opportunity of looking
over the best stock of all kinds grown
in their own neighborhood and of Sc
lecting and buying any that may suit
their wants. Comparisons lead to
emulation in breeding better stock,
and the standard of live stock is rails
ed in all the community. No arrange
ments are made for speed exhibitions,
so horse racing, which has been the
ruin and death in the past of SO many
county fairs, has no place in this lat
est movement for the betterment of
the live stock industry. M gambling
devices of any kind are allowed in
the grounds. AS matter of fact
these live stock paviions are great
business and educational institutions.
Business institutions facilitating the
exchange and sale Of the best stock

parison and study of the different
types and methods pursued in their
production. The interest taken in
these exhibitions is surprising and is
rapidly growing. They are becoming
an event which is looked forward to
each year more and more, and the
number of exhibitors each year be-
comes larger.
One of these pavilions is located at
Wisner, in Cunning county. The idea
Of a stock exhibit and live stock sale
for that town originated with Mr..
Buck, one of Wisner's old time resi-
dents. The first show was made three
years ago and was held in barn in
Wisner 1t proved such pronounc-
ed success and aroused such an
amount of enthusiasm that larger
and much better quarters were re-
quired for the next year. The second
year showed such mavelous growth
that it WAS evident that one man could
not attend to it, so Mr.. Buck propos-
ed to the farmers that they should
form stock company and build a
permanent pavilion large enough to
hold the annual shows. Five thous.
and dollars was quickly raised and a
permanent pavilion company organ.

new pavilion last fall with hundreds

home of some of the best stock in the
state now and the interest created ir
