The Borrowing Nuisance.

The greatest nuisance that the farm
er has to contend with, and one which
entails on him q not inconsiderable
amount of loss, in time and cash, is
the borrowing nuisance. Neighbor A
may be a very nice man in many ways;
he is sociable, chatty and agreeable.
He sends over 70 our place and politely
asks us to loan him our spade. We
do not like to loan him our old, weak
backed affair, 50 we let him have our
new one. Mr. A. promising to return it
the next evening, sure, as we want to
use it the following day. Our plans
are all laid out for work, in which the
spade is to play prominent part,
and yet there is no spade to be found.
One of the men is dispatched to bring
the missing spade, while our other
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. We then have to
alter our plans for that days work and
60 to work at something else, after los
ing considerable time for the accommo-
dation of Mr.. A. The following morn
ing, on going to the shed where we keep
our tools, the spade is found, full of
dirt and CRIME. We start out to work
with 1t, only to find that some of neigh
Dor AS men have been using it as q
pry and have broken its back. We
swallow the loss as best we can, and
buy another spade. A nice, new briar
scythe is borrowed to help in clearing
piece of new ground and get it ready
for the pillow. In the carelessness and

Enormous Wheat Crop.

THE time has commenced. Every
year there goes out great blow about
the prospective crop. This is done for
a dishonest and selfish purpose at the
great wheat marts. It has already
commenced for this years crop. The
word is sent out from Chicago, April
18th, by the Associated Press dispatches
that 1.-the whole Northwestern spring
wheat region shows an acreage Of SO
per cent. greater than last year." and
that 20 per cent. of last years crop is
still in the farmers hands. What is the
object and result of this false and in
furious statement? 1t is to injure the
sale of what little wheat is on hand,
which is less than 10 per cent, instead
of 20. Nor is the area of wheat
greatly increased over last year. A
few local editors, with the object of
clarifying their neighborhoods, and
cheering the spirits of their merchants
and mechanics with the prospects of
the future, have unwisely made ex-
travagant statements of the amount of
wheat sown. There is always dis
position to publish cases of larger crops
of grain, the sale of large hogs and
cattle, but no notice is taken of cases of
less crops, or of the sale of poor hogs
or scrub cattle. The rose colors are
prominent, but the dark unnoticed.
And we wish some statistician who
bowed so much about the forty millions
of a surplus wheat crop in Minnesota
last fall to sell, and fifty millions in
Iowa. etc., would tell us what has be-
come of it. Did it go through Chica-
90, Milwaukee, or st. Louis to market?
What are their reports? BY no device
can one-half that amount be traced to
Iowa or Minnesota, and yet these fabu-
lous stories depressed our wheat in
Chicago, in New York and in Liver
pool. And there are thousands of
mortgages and judgments unpaid that
would have been, if a true statement of
the amount of wheat in these States
had been given to the public.
One man tells he has thousand
bushels of wheat, when he has not half
that amount. This is done to perpet-
uate his credit. A merchant in a town
writes east that there are millions of
bushels of wheat in the farmers hands
in his county, and SO soon as it comes
to market he will be able to meet his
engagements east. And in this way
the merchant is deceived-hc deceives
others, and the world is deluded. and
the farmer suffers all the consequences
in the low price of his wheat. The
story will be repeated every year, and
every year the farmers will be swindled
by these lying pretended gatherers of
statistics. State Register.

hurry the scythe snathe gets badly
charred in the fires of brush, while the
temper in the blade is entirely de-
stroyed. This is returned, with great
sorrow being expressed that the thing
has happened as it has; but never word
is said about replacing it with a new
one. Our clean, sound carriage is bor-
rowed. 1t is brought back after sun
down with a bolt or two missing, per-
haps spoke broken, and the whole
covered with generous sprinkling of
mud. The horse-rake goes the rounds
of the neighborhood and finds its way
home with one or two teeth broken.
A sharp saw and sharp chisels are bor-
rowed. and the saw is brought into
contact with nails, which does not inn
prove either the set or the sharpness of
the teeth, while the chisels usually have
several suspicious hicks in them which
plainly 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 borrowers
home, where the children, usually with
unclean hands. thumb over it till it
looks like anything but it's former self,
while there may be several leaves miss
ing. having been taken to supply the
place of less convenient paper. Peri
Odicals are borrowed, and, if returned
at all, are in sadly dilapidated condi-
ton. Many and many valuable book
have we lost by loaning, while the
broken files of our papers show that
we have loaned them, too. Happily
there are few borrowers who take
good care of what they borrow, and try
to return it in as good order as they re-
ceived it, in default of which they re-
place it. To such persons we take
pleasure in lending, and always shall.
We think our readers have had some
experience with these nuisances-bor-
rowers-anl can testify to what we
have written above as not being one
whit overdrawn, for we could cite many
other incidents similar, and, no doubt,
could they.-PracticGl Farmer.

DIR. Pierce's Invalids' and Tourists
Hutel-Grand Opening.

DIR. r. v. Pierce opened his new In
valids' and Tourists Hotel, at Buffalo,
N. Y, on the 29th of April, with re-
ceptiOn to the press, followed by one
on the 3Oth to the citizens, both of
which were largely attended and highly
enjoyed by ali the guests, whom the
genial Doctor received and entertained
in the most princely style. The struct-
ure itself is magnificent and imposing,
the style of architecture being what is
known as the modern French. Sit
uated as it is, on the highest ground in
the city, with pleasant wooded lawn
before it, sloping gently te the Niagara
River, it commands the finest and
healthiest position obtainable, espe-
cially as Buffalo is probably
the healthiest city in the country.
Skillful combinations of maple, ash,
oak, cherry, ebony and mahogany. with
tiles in according colors, form the rich
est effects in the several halls and par
lors. 1t is heated throughout by steam,
and fresh water is drawn from the
street by a large pump, which forces it
up into tanks on the fourth, fifth and
sixth stories. Pure air and sunshine
being two of DIR. Pierce's favorite med
icines, the system of ventilation is,
therefore, most perfect-every room
being so constructed as to receive fresh
outdoor air and provided with double
escape for any air which has become
impure. The value of such ventilation
to invalids needs no comment. There
is not room in the house that is not
visited by sunshine, or from the door
of which staircase cannot be seen. On
every floor there are four stations, each
provided with 100 feet of hose, con-
nected with the Champion chemical
| fire-extinguishing system, and which,
with the assistance of the speaking an
nunciatOr, can be made instantaneOusly
available. Everything pertaining to
the medical department is placed down
upon the basement floor, thus giving no
unpleasant suggestion of the sick room
to those guests who d not need a ply
stefan. Here we find the Swedish
health-lift, reception-room. consulta-
tion-rooms, of which there are several,
each one for some special class of dis
eases-all tastefully arranged and well
supplied with the appliances necessary
for their different departments. The
bath system is arranged in the most
complete and luxurious manner. The
rooms are large and fitted up with
glazed tiles, and comprise Turkish,
Russian and electric baths. In the
matter of recreation, the house is we'll
supplied, having bowling alley, bill
iard-room and gymnasium. The ca
pacity of the house is about $50 guests.
The tower, 40 feet from the ground,
rcars its magnificent head above the
whole, making grand tout ensemble.
The hotel opened for business on the
LIST of May. The enterprise will doubt
less meet with that unbounded success
which it most surely deserves.
