Like the senses Of sight and hearing
the sense of smell quickly tires. Hence
it is only before fatigue sets in that a
doctor can diagnose different ailments
by the sense of smell alone. II he is a

There seems to be an idea prevail
ent among some that the law which
passed the last session Of the legis
lature and was signed by the governor
providing for the registration of farm
names requires that the registration
be made with the secretary of state
but that is a mistaken impression
The register of deeds in each coun
ty is the proper official before whom
the matter should be presented.
There are a good many farm own
ers who have taken advantage of the
law and there will be more as soon as
the provisions Of the bill are more
generally known. The idea of having
a name for the farm seems to be a
good one, whether there is any finan
cial benefit or not. 1t would seem
that it would engender a spirit OF
pride in the members of the family
living on the farm and that they
would take more interest in the work
and life of the farm. OF course, where
one makes a specially of any particu
lar line of farm work, dairy, fancy
stock or anything else, the name ant
especially one that is registered is OF
inestimable value.
There should be duplication Of
of names III the same county, or a.
least not by owners of farms who re
ceive their mail at the same postoffice
and there is no need of it. There
are plenty of appropriate names for {
farm home, in many instances the 10
cation proving an inspiration for the
selection of name and in others the
peculiar line of business conducted
while in some cases there are family
reasons for selecting certain name
By all means, name the farm and have
the name registered with the register
of deeds. It is a good idea for the
owner of farm to have printed sta
tionery with the name of the farm on

the members OF the legislative bodies
"like drove of cattle" along factional
lines on every question that came up.
A very large and overwhelming num-
Der of members were simple tools in
the hands of leaders and were made
use of to further the interests of indi-
viduals and we cannot help but have
a profound respect for this man who
dared this organization and voted his
own convictions in the face of the fact
that he must have known that his po-
sition would call forth severe crit
icism. The state needs more men in

manhood to vote for measures on their
merits rather than at the dictation

The Red River Valley has as
whole the very best sort of land any
where on the face of the globe. With
the drainage work that has been
