English Land Law.

implest mode that is at all general is to stipulate merely against 
aking two successive corn crops from the same land ; but with 
. good tenant, who brings capital and experience to his holding, 
t is doubtful whether any restrictions are really necessary ; and 
ecent experiments on the possibility of continuous corn crop- 
)ing indicate that the whole system of dictating any rotation at 
ill to the occupier may possibly prove an economic mistake. 
Two modes have been suggested by which trustworthy tenants 
nay be left practically unfettered, without the interests of the 
andlord being appreciably imperilled. The first is by adopting 
I form of lease or agreement given as peculiarly favourable to 
he occupier in Cooke, "On Agricultural Tenancies" (p. 421), 
n which general covenants for good husbandry and compensa- 
ion to the land in the form of artificial manure for all natural 
nanure, hay, or straw taken off it, are added to a proviso for 
e-entry by the landlord in case the tenant shall be adjudged by 
irbitration to be persisting in an injurious system of culture. 
The other mode is that indicated in a paper published in the 
Royal Agricultural Society's 'Journal' (vol. viii.p.256), according 
0 which the tenant merely covenants to fatten an agreed amount of 
live-stock on his farm every year, and to consume on it all the 
manure produced ; a suggestion which has not met with general 
icceptation. The stipulation with regard to the materials of 
manure, as already mentioned, is most frequently relaxed when 
the holding is near a large town, which offers a ready market for 
their sale, and from which artificial manures may be easily 
•obtained to compensate the land for the productive power thus 
taken away from it. 
3. Covenants which, contemplate the Surrender or Termination End of temncj. 
of the Tenancy. — Since the interests of landlord and tenant 
become directly opposed to each other as soon as the last year 
.of the term commences, or when the tenant receives notice to 
iquit, stipulations are commonly inserted in a lease to prevent 
ithe latter from leaving the land in an impoverished condition, 
land to prescribe the acreage which must be left in corn or fallow 
(usually at least one-half of the arable land to be left in green- 
crops or fallow), for the incoming tenant. A general covenant 
to cultivate according to the rules of good husbandry up to the 
ilime of quitting, together with an arbitration clause, ought with 
(a good tenant to be found sufficient ; and the rights of pre-entry 
ifor purposes of tillage, which are to be given to the incoming 
pOccupier, may either be left to the operation of the local custom, 
'OT provided for by special agreement. It may be added that 
cultivation according to the rules of good husbandry is not an 
obligation which the common law implies, or which is included 
in the ordinary covenant against committing waste.
