BORROWING FARsl TOOLS.

Don do it. No, farmers, as
you valne the good opinion of
your neighbors, don't ask them to
lend anything that is ordinarily
used on a farm, as you had better
go and buy the article wanted,
even if not used more than once
a year. Perhaps you need a crow
bar, and do not own one. But
you should own one. You want
something else you have managed
to get along without so far. Don't
borrow it, but go straight TO town
and buy it. Yon say 81 can't at
fore it," Nonsense. You can af-
ford to take your whole family to
the circus every year, yet you can't
afford q dollar for some imple-
ment that you ought to own. Far
mers if you value the comforts Of
> of life, let me advise you to be in
dependent of your neighbors, as
regards owning complete simply
of everything you need in the way
of farm Implements. as that is one
of the greatest comforts of far
mer's life. Your neighbor is
no more prosperous than you are,
vet he owns every implement, of
the most improved patter, that is
used on a farm. Now, when you
go to him to ask him if he will
lend you his new seed sower, you
must feel as if you were on q
mean errand. Your neighbor lends
it to you, and what do you think
he says as soon as you get out of
hearing? He says, 81 wish old
-- would buy his own seed
sewers; he is just as well able to
do it as / am, but he is too con-
temptibly stingy."
Probably the losses that are
sustained on farm implem ents ev-
cry year, by leaving them expos
ed to the sun, storm and deWs,
would amount to millions of dol
lars in the aggregate. When we
pass a farm house, and see wag-
ons out exposed to the sun,
plow lying in the field covered
with rust, while the cracks in
the beam may be seen from the
road, harrow against the fence,
with the teeth dropping out, and
looking as if it had been there for
months, hay racks and other
things going to destruction for the
want of being placed under cover,
we need not ask what kind of
farmer lives there, as we read the
answer in the general appearance
of the place-'a poor shiftless
fellow" Farmers, this is a hard
name to give to some of you, but
you deserve it. If the leaving of
your farm implements unsheltered
did not cause you any pecuniary
loss, it would be supposed that
you would have pride enough to
cause you to prevent passers of
your premises from making the
remark, "here lives a shiftless far
mer." If one of your children asks
you for money to buy n pair of
shoes, your reply may be. "my
child have no money; it is as
much as l can do to keep soul and
body together. You must go
barefoot" while you are allowing
the sun and rain to damage your
wagon and implements more in a
week, than 1t would cost to shoe
your child for five wears.
