Stunted and falling crops, choked by

How much moro satisfactory and

avallablo labor over tho entire ground
and do nothing to perfection.

John Burrows, the well-known scien
tist, in regard to cows giving down
their milk snys: Many persons think
that giving dqwn or holding up tho
milk by tho cow is n voluntary act.
In fact, thoy fancy tho udder as a
vessel filled with milk, and that tho
cow r'oloases or withholds it Just as
sho chooses. But tho uddor is a
manufactory; it is filled with blood,
from which tho milk 1b manufactured
whilo you milk. This process is con
trolled by tho cow's nervous system.
When sho Is excited or in any way
disturbed, as by strangers or by tak
ing away her calf or any other cause,
tho process Is arrested and tho milk
will not flow. Tho nervous energy
goes olsowhero. Tho whole process is
as involuntary as is digestion in man
and is disturbed or arrested in about
tho Bame way.
Middlemen.
Retailers aro necessary according to
present mothods of doing business and
until farmers organize a selling force

to toll tho farmers' grist as thorough

whilo selling for 2 cents each In Chi

helpless because ho has no represen

will come when farmers will have an
agent at each central point to handlo
farm products nnd distribute them
either to tho consumer or retail gro
cer. When that time comes farmers
will como nearer getting what they
work for. It Is JUBt as necessary to
sell right as to farm right. Agricul

Ocorgo Meredith, English poet and
novelist, who passed nway recently in
his unpretontlous cottage in Box Hill,
Surrey, has endenre-I himself to En
glish readers throughout tho world for
many years. Ho wan born in Hamp
shire, Eng., Feb. 12, 1828, nnd was loft
an orphnn early in llfo. Until tho
ago of 15 ho was educated in Germany,
and beforo ho was 23 yearo oid ho had
published pooms nnd a novel. Ho de
voted himself to writing. "Tho Ordeal
of Richard Feverel," which was pub
lished In 18G0, was received with great
praise and has been widely read sinco
then.
His early life in London was an
unceasing struggle against poverty,
and he wan hampered nt tho outset of
his literary career with pecuniary dif
ficulties. Mn Meredith possessed In a marked
degreo the three grand qualities which
aro essential to tho making of the nov
elistanalytical power, narrative ca
pacity and humor.
A notablo featuro of tho genius of
Meredith was his pow;er of under
standing women. There is hardly a
moro lovable woman in any fiction
than Diana Merlon; then In "Tho Ad-
OKOROK MKKEDITir.
ventures of Harry Richmond" we meet
with that exquisite creation Princess
Ottilia, and in "Emilia in. England,"
with Emilia herself, .the wild child of
nature.
Mr. Meredith was-a serious humor
ist. Hl3 books are replete with quaint
drolleries, but his fun was the out
come of his cynical way of looking at
human nature. "Life," he says in "The
Ordeal of Richard B'everel," "Is a su
njeme procession with Ironic laughter
of gods in the background."
The laughter Is, not nil that of tho
gods, for Georgo Meredith laughed, too,
though there was a splco of sadness
In his laughter, as one of who had
looked out upon the world and had
found little there to' cheer him. Nay,
Meredith's humor suggested that he
mada, haBte to laugh lest be should
weep, and at best his laughter was
charged with bitterness.
Mr. Meredith married twice. His
first wlfo was a daughter of Thomas
Love Peacock, an English humorist, to
whom ho dedicated one of his first
books. After twelve years his wife
died, leaving him. one son, and Mr.
Meredith married again and settled
down at Box Hill. Surrey. His second
wife died Sept. 17, ,1885, leaving a son
and a daughter.
Of lato years he lived quietly at
Box Hill. He kept himself in almost
complete seclusion, seeking recreation
mainly in long country walks. Ho
was regarded as the dean of English
men of letters, and received from the
King the Order of Merltt. On his 80th
birthday, Feb. 21, last year, he was
honored by the leading literary men of
Great Britain with an nddress of con
gratulation. His American admirers
also sent their greetings, drawn up by
Prof. Charles Eliot Norton, and signed
by such men as Mnrk Twain, Henry
James, Richard Watson Gilder, George
W. Cablo nnd William Dean Howells.
