owner of the land. Hence, money from the 

 sale of any animal, old or young, goes to 

 him. This is because the landlord must 

 keep up the herd. If a cow is sold, he must 

 furnish another to take her place. 



(c) The third type of tenant farming is 

 where the tenant furnishes nothing but his 

 labor and managerial ability, and receives 

 a share of the sales, which may be one-third. 

 This is rather an unusual type of tenancy, 

 since, where the landlord furnishes all the 

 capital, it is much more common to employ 

 a farm manager at a monthly wage. The 

 wage varies greatly, but is seldom below 

 forty dollars or above seventy-five dollars 

 per month without board, especially to 

 those who have not hitherto had much 

 managerial experience. 



Various attempts at profit sharing have 

 been made. A recent instance is of a young 

 married man taking 160 acres of tillable 

 land where the landlord has a fairly well- 

 stocked farm. The young man is to have a 

 house and everything in the way of living 

 the farm can furnish. He is to receive $20
