UNIQUE SCHOOL ENTERPRISE.
Iowa State College at Ames to Aid
Iowa Industrial Interests.

Ames, Feb. 25.-The Iowa State
college has found the investigations
and bu4.etins of its division of agri-
culture to be so helpful to the agri-
cultural interests of the state. as
warmly attested by the farmers them
selves, that it has decided TO have it's
division of engineering undertake in
a systematic way similar investiga-
tons helpful to the industrial and city
interests of Iowa. During several
years past the individual engineering
departments have been doing more
and more work along these lines, and
much has already been accomplished.
1t is now proposed to systematic and
extend this work.
Among the lines of work already be-
gun are investigations Of Iowa clays
and brick, of the heating power of
Iowa Goals, of sewage disposal for
Iowa cities, of Iowa building stone and
gypsum, statistics of Iowa water
works, and Investigations relating to
good roads in Iowa. On some of
these lines much work has already
been done, and several bulletins have
already been published and others are
nearly ready. 1t is proposed to add
other lines of work, especially such as
may be helpful to Iowa manufacturing
and electric interests.
The benefit to the state which may
I<be afforded by only one of the above
lines of work is illustrated by the
Iowa clay industries. The value of
the products of these interests for
1901 was $2,737,825, whereas for New

George Niece who was SO severely in
jured in the boiler explosion at the
Touring mills in this place yesterday,
which instantly killed his father, Anton

Democratic Central Committee Tries
to Prevent Disruption.

Democratic Central Committee Tries
to Prevent Disruption.
Des Moines, Feb. 2S.-Des Moines
was selected as the location of the
next democratic state convention, and
June II as the date, at the meeting Of
the democratic state central commit
tee at the club rooms of the Slavery
yesterday afternoon. Ex-Mayor j.. H.
Quick of Sioux City was chosen by
unanimous vote for temporary chair
man, and A. J.. Hogan of Iowa City,
for temporary secretary.
Far more important, however, than
the detailed business of the commit
tee was the general" tendency that de-
yeloped in the direction of harmony.
There was clear evidence that power
full influences had been at work in the
party of late for the purpose of keep
ing down factionalism and preventing
the coming Jefferson day banquet from
becoming a celebration of one wing of
the democracy.
Grow Cold.
AS the time for the banquet ap-
proaches it becomes more and more
evident that if the democrats have not
yet ceased to bow the knee to William
Jennings Bryan, they are gradually
growing more and more cold in their
worship. So strong is the influence in
the opposite direction that the origi-
nal plan of those who started the
movement for the Jefferson day ban
quet to hold a meeting on the after.
moo of that day and organize the
Kansas City platform forces has been
abandoned. This is considered ex-,
tremely significant in view of the fact
that Mr.. Bryan himself is scheduled
to attend the banquet, and the propcs.
al to organize the Kansas City plat
form democrats not only had his d.
rect approval, but was in accordance
with the suggestions made by himself
in a recent issue of the Commoner.
Mr.. Quick Not a Radical.
The selection of J. H. Quick as TEN.
porary chairman is the strongest evil
dence of the influences at work in
the committee in the direction of har.
mony. Mr.. Quick is the member OF
the committee from the eleventh dis.
trict, and is now serving his second
term in that capacity. His record
shows that he has voted for every
democratic state platform that was
adopted since 1896, including the plat.
form OF last year. which was opposed
by the Kansas City platform element
He does not represent either the rad.
ical silver element or the radical gold
element of the party. He believes in
harmonizing the different factions
and when questioned in regard to his
position last evening, he consented
to say: Il believe there are plenty OF
issues to be found in conditions that
confront IL at present. In taking
these up We will face forward rather
than backward, n if we assume this
attitude there will be no question OF
party harmony"

POULTRY POINTERS.

Everything in the poultry house
should be dry.
Ducks will not thrive on sloppy food
nor OF cOrnmeal alone.
Boiled potatoes, turnips and other
vegetables may be fed to ducks to ad.
vantage.
A good food for ~fattening fowls can
be made by mixing cornmeal with
mashed potatoes and milk.
In dry picking poultry the picking
must be done while the fowl is warm
as DON as possible after the fowl is
killed.
The nests should never be fastened to
the poultry house In such a way that
they cannot be readily removed and
cleaned.
Fowls are very fond Of raw vegeta.
bles. Beets, carrots. turnips and espe-
cially cabbage may be fed to advan.
tage. The best plan lie to chop them
fine.
A dressed fowl may be made to look
plump by dipping it for ten seconds in
water that is nearly boiling hot and
then holding it until chilled In cold
water.

Man is the best friend Of the dog.
Horses come next, but between the dog
and all other farm animals, from the
house cat to the GOV and the beef steer,
there seems to be a natural enmity.
Dogs. however. are fond of sheep and
goats. but as diet, not as living friends.
Cows and sheep and goats should be
kept as free from association with dogs
as is possible. with the exception Of the
trained shepherd dog. A dog walking
through a cowpen will often cause q
decrease in milk flow that amounts to
o than the cash value Of the dog.
Many dogs are worth considerably less
than nothing.
