Distances between neighbors and relatives and to an occasional religious meeting were great, and horses were scarce and roads there were none, and no ways to follow except trails or footpaths. To be neighborly, if a farmer had a horse and wanted to visit he would take his wife on the horse behind him, and, after riding a mile or two, they would both get down and tie their horse on the trail and walk on, leaving the animal to be found by their neighbor, who was walking the same trail. Then the latter, with his wife, would get upon the horse and ride to catch the owner of the horse, who would repeat the "ride and tie," as they called it, and thus help each other along the way to cover long distances in the wilderness of the west. Two men and their wives, it is said, would sometimes get to church with one horse. To think of the hardships of others and to share with them whatever we can, is one of the secrets of great happiness, whether we are working together in the same store or being neighborly around our homes.
