 nure than could be made from the produce of 

 the farm. When the manure produced upon 

 the farm is the property of the farmer, and he 

 is by the terms of his leafe compelled to fell it 

 to the coming tenant at a fair valuation, he of- 

 ten endeavours to make more manure the lad 

 year than any other ; and by that means bene- 

 fits the eftate: if, on the contrary, he is not 

 paid any thing for it, he will do every thing in 

 his power to prevent any future improvement 

 upon the farm, as from fome caufe or other he 

 will fancy himfclf ill ufed upon leaving it. — 

 For all under-draining properly done, and for 

 new buildings which were necefifary for the 

 farm, the tenant ought to be allowed an in- 

 demnification proportionate to the number of 

 years lefs than twenty he may 'have had the ufe 

 of them. He (hould likewife receive an allow- 

 ance for quick fences, the planting of orchards, 

 or of aquatics and other ufeful trees in proper 

 places, on producing fair bills, with receipts to 

 them, of the expences — provided he leaves the 

 eftate without committing wilful wades.
