IRREGULAR CROPS. 



JL HOUGH it is highly proper to confine tenants 

 to a regular fyftem of cropping, yet there are fome 

 little variations, that under certain circumflances,

 crop, notwith (landing all poflible care, does not 

 fucceed j in fuch cafe, if the tenant be allowed to

 among it, no harm can refult from it, as it would 

 have been feeded with barley if they had fucceeded.

 tenant fuftains, by the lofs of his crop of turnips.
