Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1910-10-06

Friends and neighbors who have
lived long in one neighborhood
know where to find the homes Of
one another and really take little
notice of details unless three is
something striking and might not
positively know whether your house
is cream or white, or, whether it is
yellow or brown. Perhaps you may
think the last statement oyerdrawn
but l have had actually such exper-
fences in finding people. / have
said, What is the color OF the
house?" thinking l might identity
it in that way, when other directions
were ambiguous, and the answer
was literally. Really couldn't just
say positively. know right where
it is and can go to ID any time; have
been there lots of times, but never
noticed just what color it is. l think
though, that it is kind of brown"
Whether farm is small or large
it is dignified to have a name for
it, and the name is usually suggest
ed by some feature of environment
or some natural condition or view
such as a grove of distinctive growth,
or one or two lone trees; or large
boulder, or brook; or a brook with
fall; or a fine stretch of meadow;
or a combination of a meadow and
brook, and so on, for farms in di-
sersified country.
For the plain countries there
would be a different class OF names.
Perhaps there may be a deep gulch
or canon near; or a particularly line
view of some distant mountain or
peak; or there may be exceptional
opportunities for seeing magnificent
sunrises or sunsets; or it may be
only a view of the unbroken, undu-
lating prairie. l once heard wo-
man say who had Travelled much
that she never knew which vas
most awesome and inspiring, the
ocean or the boundless prairie. That
both are spectacles to impress the
soul with sublime admiration.
1t is unique, too, and especially
distinctive to give to the cattle ranch
the name of the brand used on the
stock. Such a name gives a true
western flavor to its pronunciation
and is reminiscent of an early west
ern phase of life now rapidly pass
ing.
There are various ways of display
ing the name of a farm which sug-
gest themselves to the owners and
it is distinctive for the women resi-
dents of such a home to have the
name on their visiting cards. 1t
could also be printed on the station
cry used by the family. A friend
of mine was married on her home
farm, which had a name, and the
name, appearing as her place of res
idence on the wedding invitations.
gave a most attractive and distin-
guished air to them.
If you have not settled on a name
for your farm, consider the idea. 1t
is worth while.-Rural Spirit.
