How to Rent a Farm. 



In the rental of property, the greater risk is always on the landlord's side. 

 He is putting his property into the possession and care of another, and that 

 other is not infrequently a person of doubtful utility. I hese rules and 

 cautions may well be observed: 



1. Trust to no verbal lease. Let it be in writing, signed and sealed. 

 Its stipulations then become commands and can be enforced. Let it be 

 signed in duplicate, so that each party may have an original. 



2. Insert such covenants as to repairs, manner of use and in restraint ot 

 waste, as the circumstances call for. As to particular stipulations, examine 

 leases drawn by those who have had long experience in renting farms, and 

 adopt such as meet your case. 



3. There should be covenants against assigning and underletting. 



4. If the tenant is of doubtful responsibility, make the rent payable in 

 installments. A covenant that the crops shall remain the lessor's till the 

 lessee's contracts with him have been fulfilled, is valid against the lessee's 

 creditors. In the ordinary case of renting farms on shares, the courts will 

 treat the crops as the joint property of lord and tenant, and thus protect the 

 former's rights. 



5. Every lease should contain stipulations for forfeiture and re-entry in 

 case of non-payment or breach of any covenants. 



6. To prevent a tenant's committing waste, the courts will grant an 

 injunction. 



7. Above all, be careful in selecting your tenant. There is more in the 

 man than there is in the bond. 



Franklin's Words of Wisdom. 



Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge. 



For want of a nail the shoe was lost, and for want of a shoe the horse 

 was lost. 



For age and want save while you may, no morning sun lasts all the day. 



Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other. 



Lying rides upon debt's back; it is hard for an empty bag to stand 

 upright.
