Borrowing and Lending.

A good thing may lie carried to a
1 ml extreme; and u little useful ac
oiuiuudation among neighbor* may
tun into an excessive annoyance. It
an old baying that "he that goes a
•'•rrowing, goes a sorrowing," but J
mil the inverse mote emphatically
rue,—"He that goes a lending g<>e*
•tirrowing." A n-'ighltor. who keeps
u unusually complete supply of tool*

:ost him many dollai*. Some years
■ go, my seveial poorer neight-ors
■ tuned to think tlial a* I was well
applied, it was my duly to lend to
In-ill whenever they wanted. The
i'he question which they asked *,
'Are you going to ue your wagon
■ •-•lay And if the answer was
I'gative, I had no further voice in
' lie ui titer, the wagon wa* to I*.- taken
if course. Some of them even went
•) far h* to regard myr right to any
f the Uet'.n a* second to theirs ; ami
nie of them po*iliely refuaeil t<j re-
Lurn a machine till he was done with
it, all hough I was in equal need. 1
I lent s tool costing f2(l to a neigh
• i*ir, which he kept several months
until 1 had forgotten who took it
AfU-r inquiring for many miles I
| traced it out. The Ixtrrowt-r ra
, 'nullified ; lie told his lured man to
I return it, instead of which lie had
. put it in an oiit-of the-way place ;
lull it would probably btve tnua
Home sooner if drawing 2.i cents a
•lay all this time. I have succeeded
in parllv breaking up tin* boriowing
iiel lending, and I lielieve liiat my
lielgldtor* like roe ll the la-tler for
, i. I iK-gim wpti the harrow, which
1 Had Is-eii lent to *o manv that sev
eral teeth w. re uii*sing When I
discovered tin* lo*. I told the next
• pplicanl tha*. each b -rrowt r must
•Id a tooth. Some complied, and
others would not take it.
I Sec that thi* subject lis* Inch
di*cusd at the Kluiira Farmera*
Club, some of the roernlters of which
have met with inconvenience and loss
by lending. Some wish to obtain the
use of a neighltor's drill or mowing
machine, and could pay a fair price
for its use for a few hours or days al
lea* cx|k rise than to buy machine* to
tie rarely used. A proposition ha*
• >een made like the following— post
in large aign letters in a conspicuous
place on the barn this notice :

and similar rate* (or other thing*,
the days to count from the time the
tool ia taken till it* return, ami then
to lie returned in a* good order a*
when taken, natural wear excepted.
An incident was related to the
club by a member who bought an
implement costing $25, which on
trial proved to be very aerviceahl ,
but the repeated calls for it by ncigli
Imrs sent it out beyond knowledge,
and he hail not aeen it foryuars. lie
never had it in bia |io*scasioo more
than a few day*. It wa* probably
worn out by borrower*, the last of
whom probably broke it antl wa*
ashamed to return it, and too stingy
to get it tuended.
I am aware that poorer neighbor#
m*y think hard of richer ones who
will not lend everything, but be who
would please all will oml do liuiil to
the yearly widening circle of borrow
ers. AccuuttnudaU! where he reason
ably can ami there stop! They wII
like him none the leas Id the end.
Fixed prices for hiring out would tie
