Name your farm and let the public
know what you call it. Paint it on one
of the buildings or over a gateway to-
gether with your own name. Merchants

came the custom. The name Of the farm
might be painted on the wagons, printed
on letter heads, etc What a help it
would be in directing travellers if farms
might thus be made landmarlSs.-Er.
