On the Valuation of Unexhausted Manures. 13 
take one corn-crop produced by such manure, sell the corn, but 
leave the straw on the farm, he should be allowed 7s. for every 
20,v. of the original manure-value of the purchased or saleable 
food. If he have taken a second corn-crop, leaving the straw, he 
should be allowed Is. ; or if, instead of a second corn-crop, grass 
or hay be grown and consumed on the farm, 2s. ; but if the second 
crop after the roots be hay which he has sold, nothing should 
be awarded to him. 
If purchased or saleable food be consumed on grass-land, and 
the outgoing tenant have not afterwards removed a crop of hay, 
he should be allowed 18s. for 20s. original manure-value of the 
food. If he have taken one crop of hay, and consumed it on the 
farm, he should be awarded lis. ; but if the hay have been sold, 
only 2s. for 20s. of the manure-value of the food. After a second 
year's hay-crop, if consumed, 2s. ; but if sold, nothing should be 
allowed. If the land be only pastured, and purchased food be 
consumed on it for one, two, or three years before leaving, the 
compensation might fairly be fixed at 18s. for 20s. original manure- 
value after one year, at 12s. after two years, and at 4s. after three 
years. 
2. Farmyard or Town-stable Manure. 
Farmyard-manure, made from the produce of the farm, should 
not be made the subject of any claim for compensation by the 
outgoing tenant, whether such manure have grown a crop, or 
remain in the yards, or on the land, unless he paid for it under 
the same conditions on entry. The cases of the enrichment of 
such manure by the use of purchased (or saleable) cattle-food 
would be taken into account under the provisions of the previous 
sub-section (1). 
When stable-manure is purchased and used in large quantities, 
and the application has extended over a long series of years, as, 
for instance, in the case of garden-ground, the unexhausted 
residue remaining in the soil is very great, and large crops may 
be taken from such land, without further manuring, for a number 
of years in succession. Such cases would require special con- 
sideration and adjudication, if not provided for by special agree- 
ment, as would generally be the case. 
When purchased stable-manure is only used in the moderate 
quantity usual in ordinary agriculture, and only once in the 
course of a rotation of four or five years, it may be assumed that 
towards the end of such period no unexhausted residue would 
remain which would be sufficient to justify a claim for compen- 
sation to the outgoing tenant. 
If purchased stable-manure be applied for roots which are con-
