20. Also, to lay up, in the usual barns and rickyards, the last 

 year's crops of corn; together with the tithe, if compounded for;

 the straw, chaff, and colder shall be injured as little as may be. 



21. Also, at the expiration of the term, to leave no less than . . . 

 acres of olland [meadow-land, literally old-land], of two years laying 

 (including that which may have been broken up by landlord or in- 

 coming tenant) and which shall have been laid down in a husbandlike 

 manner, after turnips or a summer fallow, with not less than twelve 

 pounds of clover, and half a peck of ray grass, seeds an acre 

 under the penalty of ... pound an acre. Also not less than . . .

 also to keep dogs, warn off sportsmen, and suffer them to be prose- 

 cuted in his name : remnants, these, of the ancient base tenures of 

 soccage and villanage.
