A NOTABLE INSURANCE COMPANY.

A mutual insurance company with
worlds record holds its headquarters
IN Marshalltown. where it was con-
ceived and originated. The worlds rec
ord Of which the company is justly
pround is the brief history o, the
IIawkeye Commercial Mems Associa-
ton which began with seventy-fve
members IN Ma-shautown March g.
1906, and held its latest annual meeting
in Marshalltown Jan. IA, 1911. with a
mem bership OF over 5000. It Is
worlds record Of growth. Logically it
Is worlds record of effectiveness Sc
Quentially it is worlds record Of man
aSement. II has ouistripped its COM
petitors in its primary purpose-mutual
aid and protection-as in mem bership.
No other organization Of its charac ter
offers and provides so much for 80
little. The Hawkeye. It is asserted is
The only organization OF IFS kind which
pays a funeral benefit on proof OF nat
ura1 death amounting 10 the entire sum
paid in during the first twenty-five
years Of the benefciaries' membership
besides guaranteeing him accident in
eurance Of $1,000 for accidental death,
proportionate sums in event of serious
accident and s25 weekly during d;sabil-
ity thru minor accident Comparisons
are always odious to those who suffer
by comparison. but they afford an est!-
mate OF proportion. A commercial
mems insurance organization began at
Ottumwa coincidenr with the beginning
Of the Hawkeye at Marshalltown 1t
has approximately a 1000 membership
today. There. however. is nothing in
the comparison which Marshalitowu
and the Hawkeye association is likely
70 ind odious
Such organizations are the essence
Of fraternal obligation and plain COM
mon sense. Aside from the word as in
eluded In its appellation there is moth
ing commercial about the organization.
1t - purely protective. 1t is rot in
tended to make money but 20 relieve
necessity. to protect against debt, loss
Of salary and suffering. Essentially il
81 simply an agreement OF mutual ga
naritanlsm and common brotherhood
in the day Of trouble. The $4,000 paid
out last year by the Hawkeye to in
5ured members and the families of
those whose membership had been
S!ctted from the books by death was
simply the contributions Of brother
hood to brotherhood. No one will ever
know what suffering it relieved, what
hardships 1t prevented, or what hope
II kindled anew No one wants to
know. It did the work it was meant
20 do by those who paid it in.
The state Of Iowa may be and is
proud and thankful for the results at

little band of travelling men who half
q decade ago conceived and put into
operation the Hawkeye Commercial

Testing Small Seeds.
The prospective seed buyer should
first send to the seed dealer for q sam
pie Of small seeds. such as alfalfa,
clover, ETC.. upon which he can make
a termination test. A simple seed
test can readily be arranged. Take
two tin plates. one little larger than
the other, cut piece of cotton flannel
10 fit In the larger plate, soak the dan
mel in water. then squeeze out the sur.
plus water, and put the flannel in the
larger Of these plates. Then place 100
or more seeds il this plate. cover the
seeds with similar pad. well moist
ened with water, and then cover with
the smaller tin to retain the moisture.
The tester should then be placed in
some convenient place where the tenn
perature ranges from 20 to 50 degrees
Fahrenheit
The tester should be Examined every
"a hours to see that the pads do not
become too dry. It 10 advisable to
loosen up the lower pad occasionally
10 let in oxygen. which viii aid in the
termination OF the seed. In about three
days the seed will begin to terminate
and at the end of I'VE days they should
all be terminated.

use Of carefully selected seed will not

Importance Of Proper Curing.
When taken from the stalk. corn
usually contains from 20 to 80 per cent.
Of moisture, which, unless reduced to
10 or IL per cent, is likely to injure
The quality Of the seed. In the north
ern states, where the seasons are short.
ne ind the most convenient way OF
Kidding the corn Of this excessive
moisture Is BY the use OF artificial
neat.
Corn should never be placed against
tie south SIDE Of a building. where
there is nfely to be strong sunlight.
2. the rays Of the sun will injure the
vitality Of the seed or the side OF the
ear turned toward the sun. If corn Is
cured by hanging under porch or I'M
der tie roof OF the corn CRIB, 1t should
be stored away in come dry room
ahere It Will rot absorb moisture from
The outside atmosphere before hard
freezing weather begins.
Home Curing Devices.
Where kitchen or furnace room can
be used for curing corn small hanging
dev:ces may be used for the holding Of
the corn. A simple ard practical
method is TO use cord. tying the care
20 they ere safe distance apart for
drying Another device is to use dou.
lie cord. placing eara between them so
they can be held securely and hung on
:. nail or nook by loop.
Ar attic which can be ventilated
and has a chimney passing through It,
or is directly over heated room, so
that It can be kept at fairly uniform
temperature through the winter. Is an
exceedingly good place to cure corn.
Testing eeed Corn.
Each ear Of corn should be tested
before planting and al! ears rejected
that do not terminate and show lack
OF yisor or vitality. Fifteen average
ears Of corn Will plant one acre, using
four kernels to the hill. placing the

The NOS, perfect seed ears having
kernels of a uniform width should be
used for seed. Th:eso shemld he &C.

should be taken to place the ears in .
