Unexhausted Improvements. 
ject of special agreement, and not a thing that can be claimed by 
any custom ; but I have little doubt that it will become ultimately 
a usual allowance. 
The introduction of new manures, and other improvements, 
will doubtless make modifications in the existing system of tenant- 
right necessary from time to time. For instance, should the use 
of sulphuric acid with bones become general, the present allow- 
ance will cease to be correct ; or should guano come into general 
use, an allowance should be made for it. In reply to your inquiry 
as to the general application of bones to turnips, I beg to inform 
you that on the wold and heath districts, and other turnip soils, it 
is certainly the general though not the universal practice to apply 
bones; but I am not aware of any case in which tenants are 
bound by agreement to use them instead of other purchased 
manures or farm-yard dung. In some cases the latter is used 
along with bones, and instances are not uncommon of two or more 
manures being applied together. On Lord Yarborough's estate, 
and, I believe, through the wliole district, tenants are quite at 
liberty to use any manure for their turnips which they may think 
best. 
I remain, dear Sir, 
Your obedient servant,

P.S. You will perhaps notice a little difference in the rule for 
the allowance for oil-cake as here given from the statement made 
in the last Number of the Society's Journal, in a note to the 
article on the Farming of Norfolk. The change was made after 
I had furnished the information for the article, for the sake of 
getting a fairer average as to price and quantity. 
III. — On Securing to the Outgoing Tenant a claim in Unexhausted 
Improvements. From the Loughborough Agricultural 
Society. 
To Ph. Pusey, Esq. 
Dear Sir, — I have pleasure in sending yon the suggestions for 
improved agreements between landlords and tenants, which were 
unanimously adopted by the Loughborough Agricultural Society, 
at their quarterly meeting on the 27th of March last. 
I take this opportunity of informing you, that the suggestions 
originated in tlio committee of that society finding the general 
slate of the agriculture of the midland counties inferior to the
