 has involved the tenant farmer in difficulty and dis- 

 ess ; that his capital is already sunk one-third, and 

 at the produce of his future industry must be da.

 t in the concluding part of that article it is asserted 

 at, "In truth the tenant had no iuterea ^.^ e

be grown to the extent they are at Aucnness .

 employs upon these, and the very skilful manner 

 which he carries out the excellent systems he ha. 

 adopted. If he should be obliged to limit teP°™«
