A new law passed by the Missouri
legislature encourages the naming IF
farms and protects the use of name ;
adopted. 1t provides that upon the
payment of a fee of 81 to the clerk or
the county court the farmer in any
county may secure a certificate Sc
ting forth the name Of the owner,
and that when such name is properly
registered it cannot be used as dcs-
lgndtion for any other farm in such
county.
There is more than a sentiment
value to this legislation. The products
OF the dairy, orchard or stables of q
farm may command a commercial
premium after reputation has been
established. A distinctive name for az
estate is much to be preferred to the
present system of designation by sec
