New Corn Movement In Accord
With Chairman Cownie's
Preaching For Years
ARTIFICIAL DRYING is THE BEST
If This Method is Pursued the Kernels
Are Much More Likely to be Perfect
and Have the Substance In Them.
Necessary to Give the Young Corn
Fair. Start In Life.
Special to Times-Republican.

Des Moines, May 15.-Chairman
John Cownie, of the state board OF
control. may be pardoned If he INDUCES
in little preaching on the seed corn
tpractical farmer. He commenced
thirty years or more ago, to write for
! the Prairie Farmer and nearly that
| long ago for Rural Life. on the seed
corn question. He doesn't criticize the
new corn movement started at the
state college, but he would have it
known that he has been preaching the
seed corn doctrine a long, long while.
His theory is that seed corn should be
gathered before the time for the regular
corn huskfng, and that it should be
dried artificially, in order that the ker-
nels may be perfect and have the sub
stance back of them to give the young
corn fair start in life. He has been
insisting on this at the state farms at
state institutions, and last year espec-
tally when it was recognized by every
one that the crops were of unusually
kiln dried at all the state institutions
Now he has in the office of the state
board an exhibition of the results of
such selection and curing of corn seed
boxes in which the growth from this
selected corn is strong and vigorous,
right beside boxes of sickly looking cora
from seed bought in seed store, as
choice seed corn, but selected from the
crib in the spring. The contrast as
shown by Chairman Cownie's exhibit
is so great that everyone who looks
upon it must be convinced that he
knows what he Is talking about en- thu
seed corn question. Mr.. Cownie de-
clares that the farmers of Iowa would
be immensely better off If they would
gather and cure their seed corn, much
like the old fashioned farmers, who
hung their seed corn on the rafters OF
their log houses and let 1t blacken with
smoke all winter. AS the result OF
Mr.. Cownie's teaching and insistence.
every state farm at state institutions
is becoming an exampler for all the
farmers of that section.

Jacco, the gray African parrot which
was the pride OF the establishment OF
Louis Ruhe & Sons has been sold. A Phil
adelphian bought him for $500. probably
the highest price ever paid for parrot
in this country. Jacco was a linquist.
He could talk and sing In three Lam
guages. English French and German. He
also was something Of a conversational
ist. and Bernard Ruhe, az whose home

Such birds never learn TO speak more
than a word or two. and often they re-
main perpetuaily dumb. The African
parrots are the best takers. but they
are not so hardy as the South American
OF Mexicsn varieties. and 10 is hard to
raise them. For this reason they are
rare.
When Jacco arrived along with large
consignment. he was the poorest spsci-
men of the lot. Bernard Ruhe was afraid
he would die and took the sickly little
stranger TO his home. The bird was fed
out Of a spoon, and became as tame as
a chicken. Any one who has been bit
