LINCOLN", Jan. 22. (Special.) The Stftto
Board ot Agriculture concluded the labors
of Its annual session this afternoon. New
officers and new members were elected and
aomo minor business transacted. The
board passed a resolution asking the next
legislature (o mnko an appropriation for a
permanent homo for Its headquarters, but

vision bo mado for preserving tho archives
cf tho organization.
Tho ofllcors elected nro: President, J.
D. Dlnsmore, Sutton; first vlco president,

Preliminaries for Ntnte Fair,
An adjourned meeting of the Board ot
Agriculture will be held In Lincoln Febru
nry 11, when preliminary arrangements for
tho next stato fair will bo made.
The result ot tho election thin afternoon
was a surprlso to outsiders, for It was be
lieved that E. L. Vanco of Pawnee City
would bo re-eloctcd for a second term as
president. The board has usually followed
tho two-term precedent, but vigorous,
though quiet work among the members
gave tho leadership to Mr. Dlnsmoro by a
vote of 25 to 18.
On recommendation of a special commit
ted the board adopted a resolution pro
vldlng that the removal ot a member from
tho county from which ho Is elected to
another county In tho stato does not
thoroby change tho representation of tho
county from which ho was elected. This
ntctton was taken In view of the case of
Former Governor William A.- Poynter, who
removed to Lincoln from Doone county
nnd now desires re-election as a represen
tative of that county, notwithstanding his
rcsldonco In this city. Tho board In adopt
lng the resolution adheres to the rule which
says that no county shall have more than
ono representative on the board.
ARrlcnlturnl Education.
Resolutions wcro adopted thanking State
Superlctcndcnt Fowler for his efforts In
behalf ot tho promotion of agricultural edu
cation in tho Nebraska public schools.
Chairman Dassett of the committee on
legislation reported progress for tho past
year and referred to tho work dono by Mr.
Fowler. Mr. Dassott told ot tho prellnil
nary efforts In tho' formation of a bill to
rcqulro tho teaching ot agrlculturo In tho
rural and high schools ot tho state. On
this subject Mr. Dassett said:
It was realized that It would not do to
nttemiu too much In tho ticelnniiiK: inn
text books for use In the rural wchools mtft
be qulto elementary In character and that
tho requirements on tho part of state and

Superintendent Fowler has given this
measure his hearty support since Its first
Inception, and ns showing whnt Iibh bcon
nnd Is being dono under his direction I
quote from nn Interview lately had with
him on this subject, in wnicn no sain:
"The proposition to Include a knowledge
of the elements of agriculture among the
cuhlpctH commonly tnliKht In tho nubile
schools of the stato has met with great
favor gonernlly from Its people. Superin
tendents nnd teachers generally nre taking
It up with great vim nnd preparing them
elves for examination and Instruction In
the subject. The Nebraska teachers' read
lng circle, Including about 5.000 teachers In
the state, has adopted as one of Its texts
for the current year 'Tho Principles of Ag
riculture,' a most excollent book, written
by that eminent author. Prof. U H. Dnllcy
of Cornell university, Ithlca, N. Y nnd
published by the Mncmlllan company. Many
of the Institutes the coming fccason will
have ono Instructor who can tench the

that are authorized to grant state cer
tificates, tho University of Nebraska, the
Stato Normal school at Peru, the Nebraska

"The matter has received very favorable
consideration from the press of the state

Improved I.lve Stock Hreeders.
Improved and scientific methods of feed
ing and raising sheep were discussed at
the meeting of tho Nebraska Improved
Llv Stock Breeders' association In the
chapel of the University ot Nebraska this
morning. About 200 members of the nsso-
latlon attended and all manifested great
Interest In the subjects under considera
tion. Tho election of officers resulted as fol
lows: President, W. A. Apperson, Tecum-
sch; vlco presidents, William Ernst of Te
cumseb, Thomas Mortimer ot Madison and
W. O. llcndershot of Hebron; secretary
and treasurer, E. J. Russell, Herman.
F. M, Oreelcy of South Dakota read a
paper on sheep feeding and management.
Mr. Orceley Insisted that sheep might be
Introduced to agreater extent In the farm
ing operations of Nebraska without Inter
fering with present conditions. Ho said
sheap would add to tho products of the
fnrm nml InrrpAnn Itn frtttltv. that ftheen
ould bo maintained with tho wasto nnd
catch crops of tho farm. Ho referred to
numerous Instances, ns well as to the ox-
perlenco of his own farm, whero dwarf
ossox rapo was planted among small grain,
tho rape In no way Interfering with tho
mu,h or hai-voni nf other erons. He as.
sorted that tho rape would give a large
ommini nt nnnA foerl for sheen at a small
expense. He spoke in a gcucrai way re
garding the feeding of sheep and called at
tention to tho eastern farms, which are
less favorablo for feeding than those in
Nebraska, and whero the farmers aro buy
ing sheep and feeding them on higher
priced grain and higher priced land, and
aro still making a profit. Much ot tho
grain used by the eastern farmors for
feeding comes from the western farm. Ho
closed by saying that ho thought a great
majority of farmers In Nebraska wero los
ing an opportunity to better their own con
dition by not raising sheet.
Several persons discussed this subject
and all coincided with the views expressed
by Mr. Oreoley. Cases wcro cited whero
Nebraska farmers wero maklna consider-
nble money by following the methods of
sheep management treated during tho
course of his remarks.

The next address was by Fred Rankin,
superintendent of farmers' institutes In
Illlnols. on the subject of The Hog of tho
Future; How Ho Will Be Produced." Mr.
Rankin Is forceful and eloquent, and In
his talk this morning ho mado even as dull
a subject as practical swlno culturo on op
portunity for the display ot wit and an
abundanco of practical yet Interesting
knowledge. He spoke at some length on
the important place the hog holds In the
economy of western agrlculturo and sug
gested the Improvement would Increase In
the future rnther than diminish. Ho held
that the degree of success was a matter of
Individual ability to master the principles
Involved In the breeding of swlno. Pro
ceeding ho pointed out with considerable
coedlng ho pointed out with considerable
detail the methods by which success could
ue runc-EU.
In the discussion which followed tho va-
rlous roehods of breeding had the leading
part, the point being mainly whether tho
breeding of the flno type of animal Is tho
best course to pursue. The persons prcs;
ent who believed It desirable to produco
a large hog took Issue, Insisting that cau-
tion could bo used in the degree of re-
flnemcnt ln breeding of animals. Eugene
Davenport, dean of the Illinois Collego of
Agriculture, called attention to, the aglta-
tlon among so-called teachers of domestic
science who condemn hog products as food,
He quoted from the statistics of the Bu-
reau of Anlmul Industry, showing that
mere is teas uiseuau aiming mo uuKb eeui
to slaughter houses than among any other
live atock. He said there was no doubt as
to tho healthfulness of American pork.

Van Bosklrk said: "Thero Is a vast

used in connection with the land which

Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure
Some people wonder why pepsin preparations don't
help their dyspepsia. They probably suffer because
they can't digest foods that pepsin does not affect.
The reason is, pepsin digests only nitrogenous foods.
1 while different substances are required to digest the
variety of other foods necessary for proper nourishment.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure contains all the digestants, and
is capable of completely digesting every kind of food.
That is why it digests what you eat and allow you to
eat all the variety you want; and that is why it cures
indigestion, even after everything else has failed. As
it is the only preparation of the kind known, the de
mand for it has become enormous. Its use affords in
stant relief from all forms of stomach trouble.
It can't help but do you good
