Tho greatest nulsnnee Hint the fanner linn to contend with, and one which cn tnlla on lilinaiiotiiieonsldernbleamount of loss In time and cnsli, In the borrow, ing nulsnnee. Neighbor A nmy bo h very nice ninn in ninny wnys; lie Is sociable, chatty and ngreenble. J leoends over to our place and politely links uh to loan him our npnde. We do not like to loan blni our old, wenk-lincked atllilr, bo liromlBinR to return it the next evening, mire, ns we want to use It the following day. Our plans are all laid out for work, In which the spade Is to jiliiy a prominent part, and yet theie is no spade to be found. One of the men Is dispatched to bring the missing spade, while ourother hands potter around until this and other tools are brought back. In the course of an hour the man returns minus the spade, not being able to find either the spade or Mr. A, the latter having gone to some remote part of his farm to work. AVe then have to alter our plans for that day's work and go to work at something else, after losing considerable time for the accommodation of Mr. A. The fol lowing morning, on going to the shed where we keep our tools, the spade is found, full of dirt and grime. YVe start out to work with it, only to llnd that some of neighbor A's men have been using it as a pry and have broken lis back. We swallow the loss as best we can, and buy another spade. A nice, new briar scythe is borrowed to help In clearing a piece of new ground and get it ready for the plow. In the careless ness and hurry the scythe snathe gets badly charred in the tires of brush, while the temier In the blade is entirely destroyed. This is returned, with great sorrow being expressed that tho thing has happened as it has ; but nary a word is said about replacing it with a new one. Our clean, sound carriage is bor rowed. It is brought back after sundown with a bolt or two inissing, perhaps a spoke broken, and the whole covered witli a generous sprinkling of mud. The horse rake goes the rounds of the neighborhood and linds its way home with one or two teeth broken. A sharp saw and sharp chisels are borrowed, and the saw is brought into contact with nails, which does not improve eitlierthe set or the sharpness of the teeth, while the chisels usually have several sus picious nicks in them which pluinly show they have been borrowed. As with the tools and implements so it is with books, periodicals, etc. A valuable book from our library is bor rowed and taken to the borrower's home, where the children, usually with unclean hands, thumb over it till it looks like anything but its former self, while there may be several leaves missing, having been taken to supply the place of less convenient paper. Happily there aro a few borrowers who take good care of what they borrow and try to return it in as good order as they received it, in de fault of which they replace it. We think our readers have had some experience with these nuisances borrowers and can testify to what we have written above as not being one whit overdrawn, for we could cite many other instances similar, and no doubt could they. Curious Discovery of a New Grain. We have been shown a new grain, discovered about four years ago by a farmer in Surprise valley, in the north ern part of this State, taken from the crop of a wild goose w hich had been shot by the farmer. He sowed the seed immediately after it was taken from the garner of the bird's crop, and it produced more than a hundred fold. Mr. Meri thew, a farmer of Butte county, obtain ed some few seeds of tho new grain, and succeeded in propagating it with wonder ful success on his farm in Butto county. The straw and beardless head resemble wheat; the grain looks a little like rye, but Is twice as large as rye. When cut, as it is passing into the niilk, it makes a hay even superior to wheat hay. Mr. Merithew has on hand several tons of hay from this new variety of grain, and perhaps five bushels of Its seed. It ap pears to us every way superior to rye. Ventura Ctl.) Free Prexx. Rye Flappers. A pint of corn-meal and a tta-poou-ful of salt in a large bowl. Pour over boiling water from the kettle, and stir hard until it is smooth. Thin it with milk, and add gradually u pint of rye meal, beating it well. The hatter should be made as thin as it 1 possible to turn the cakes put on the griddle by the tahle-spoonful. These are as light, rich and delicate as if made with eggs, mid are much more wholesome and economical. The Lightest Running, The Simplest, The Host Durable, Tho Most Popular or SEWING MACHINES.
