PURCHASE ALL GRAY
Horse Typical to Iowa and Adapted to
Iowa Farms the Ambition of Agri-
cultural College Experts Recent
Purchases Will Not Be Shown at
State Fair.
Special to Times-Republican.

Des Moines, Aug. 1.-THE distinctly
Iowa breed" of horses will be gray.
The legislature last winter mais d
special appropriation of $500 to be
used with a like sum given by the
government, which gives a total OF
$4,000 altogether for a period Of two
years and additional appropriations
will be made later.
Professor w. j. Kennedy, of the
State Agricultural College, who re-
turned day or two ago from Europe,
bought the best horses that Europe
possesses and by far the best horses
that were ever imported to America.
They are all gray and it is the an
nounced determination OF Professor
Kennedy and Professor Curtiss that
the new breed is TO be gray for the
reason that it is found that gray
horses bring $50 to 500 more than any
other color.
Professor Kennedy purchased a
three year-old shire stallion and three
shire mares, and Clydesdale stallion
and three Clydesdale mares in Europe,
and in this country from Charles 1r-
vine, Of Ankeny, he purchased four
Belgians and from II. NJ. Let's, of Co
lumbus Junction, he purchased four
Percherons.
1t was the intention to exhibit the
purchases at the state fair this year
but because of the fact that they have
just arrived and are not in shape for
exhibition purposes, they may not be
shown. They will be shown at the In
ternational show at Chicago.
The new American breed will not be
called Clyde. Shire. Percheron. Belgian
or any of the standard names for it
will be different from any of them. /.

typical in every way for the purpose to
which it is needed on the Iowa farms.

Terri Aug. 12.-The oats are very
nearly all in the shock, and the re-
ports as to the quantity and quality
are so conf citing that it is hard to de-
termne what the outcome will be, but
we believe that the oat crop will be
very near UP to the average in this To-
cality. Corn is about two weeks be-
hind, but is doing fine under the favor
able conditions of the weather, and
with continuation of these condi-
tons and g. late frost, the crop will be
fairly good.
The reports of the local land men
are that there is not much land chang
ing hands, but that the prospects are
good for g. good fall business in that
line, as there is already considerable
inquiry. and land in this county is
cheaper than in any other county in the
state, considering the quality.

MANY c. & N. w. IMPROVEMENTS.
Road Bed Between Edora Junction

Special to Times Republican,.
Iowa Falls. Aug. 12.-The Chicago &
Northwestern road Is quietly putting
it's road bed between Eldora Junction
and Alden in condition for heavy traf-
fic these improvements including re-
inforced bridges or new structures
across streams and ravines, new ties,
ballasting, ETC. These improvements
are construed by many as a step on
the part of the company towards
building the long talked of cutoff be-
tween the main lines at Eldora juno
ton and Eagle Grove. The present
terminus of the Iowa Falls division
of the road is Alden and it is only a
few miles from that point to Eagle
Grove and the construction of con-
Meeting link is considered by many as
the solution of the congested traffic
ah Jewel Junction where several d.
visions deliver their trains to the
Hawarden line 1t is stated that with
such a line all the thru business of
the road from the Dakotas and North
western Iowa would go to Chicago over
the proposed cutoff.
