nant in fuch a fituation as will enable him to pay as much rent 

 as pollible at the outfet. If this is negIe6lcJ, he muft eltlier 

 employ his capital itock in an improper way, or ^ci into arrears, 

 which lie may find it cililicult afterwards to liquidate. 



A fenfe of the inconvenience under which incominoj tenants 

 labour, has induced many landlords to attempt compelling out- 

 going tenants to leave grafs for their fucceflbrs ; but the attempt, 

 though fuccefsful in fome inllances, has generally failed. In- 

 deed, fuch a meafure is uiijuft, unlefs the old tenant had the like 

 advantage at his entry. It would be better, were landlords to 

 infert a claufe in every leafe, binding the outgoing tenant to 

 leave a certain extent of land in grafs properly fown down, and 

 aifo for fallow ; the fame to be paid for according to the valu- 

 ation of neutral people mutually appointed. 



Were fuch a claufe inferted in all leafes, a tenant would, \\\ 

 general cafes, enter with much greater eafe and advantage to 

 himfelf, tlian he can do at prefent. Still this prefumes that 

 the fet muft be made feveral months before the date of en- 

 try ; otherwife, how are fervants and farm ftock to be timeoafly 

 provided ? We join our correfpondent in thinking, that the in- 

 rereft of the landlord muft be injured by delaying the bufinefs 

 to the laft moment. Injurious to the tenant it certainly is -, and 

 every circumftance, prejudicial to him, eventually afFeds the land- 

 lord in one way or other^ N.

Thoughts on the Application of Du?Jg. 



Sir, 



In your laft Number, p. 38. et feq. I offered a few defultory 

 reflections on the accumulation and preparation of farm-yard 

 manure. It is now my intention to difcharge the promife then 

 made, by ftating fome thoughts on the beft way of applying that 

 article, being convinced that much improvement has of late been 

 introduced in this important branch of rural practice j particu- 

 larly in tI:;ofe diftricts generally confidered to be under the molt 

 approved management. According. to the plan formerly fug- 

 gefted, I [hall take up the fubjeft in two points of view, viz. as 

 conneded with light and clay foils •, or more particularly, as re- 

 Jative to foils on v/hich turnips conftitute the firft or leading crop, 

 and thofd where naked fummer-faliow is the preparatory itep of 

 the fubfequent rotation.
