All the\\nstatute laws affecting, directly, the farm and what belongs\\nto it, has been carefully gleaned from the Statutes of Missouri,\\nand put in language which can be easily understood. The\\nlaw has also been brought together in such a compact and\\nconvenient form that any one can readily turn to the law-\\nsubject desired, while in the Statutes this is not the case, as the\\nlanguage there is technical, and considered practically for the\\nlawyer and for the lawyer to explain and construe, besides for\\none to become acquainted with the law of Missouri, takes\\ncontinual practice, which the farmer does not find time to do.\\nThe Statutes contain about 3,000 pages and about 10,000\\nsections, and the law pertaining to the farm is scattered\\nthrough the entire Statutes, which is confusing to any one\\nwho is not familiar with them. Since the Statutes are so\\ncomplicated the result is, our farming class do not trouble\\nthemselves to become informed even on such law as they\\npositively ought to know. This book, will, if used, many\\ntimes, save the time to consult a lawyer, and also save paying\\nlawyer fees.

The first range east of principal meridian is range No.\\n1 east; the second range east is range No. 2 east, and so on.\\nA township is located by the number of range and township.\\nA township is divided into 36 parts, each part is called a\\nsection which is one mile square; each section is numbered,\\nthe numbering is begun in the northeast corner section of\\nthe township and numbered west, then the next tier (row) of\\nsections south is numbered east and so on the numbering is\\ncontinued west and east, ending with section No. 36 which\\nis in the southeast corner of the township. A section contains\\n640 acres; the section is usually divided into four parts called\\nquarter sections, each part containing 160 acres, and each\\nquarter section may again be divided, and if so it usually is\\ndivided into halves or quarters; if into halves each contains 80;\\nif into quarters each part will contain 40 acres.
