170 Farming Customs and Covenants of Emjland. 
9. To pay for the clover and grass seeds sowu the last year of 
the tenancy; and if clean, 5s. to 30s. in addition, at discretion 
of valuer. 
[NoTK. — Tlds allowance is usual with the exception of latter part ; hut 
tue recommend tJiis to induce the outgoer to ^mt the seeds on clean land, 
much loss often arising to incomer from having to break up a field of seeds to 
clean it the first summer ; therefore it is better for him to pay for their 
being free and clean from couch!\ 
10. To pay for ploughing and autumn cultivation of stubbles, 
carting and spreading manure on the seeds or meadow-land ; and also 
for cleaning ditches, drains, and watercoui'ses in the autumn and 
winter preceding end of tenancy. 
[Note. — These works a tenant would 7iot do, if he knew he was going to leave ; 
therefore, as it is done for the benefit of incomer, he should p)uy for it, as if 
not done he would have to do it himself, and also have the farm injured by 
neglect in this respect. 
If a Michaelmas entry, there will he the summer following cleaning and pre- 
p)aring for wheat to be piaid for, and this clause should be altered to meet t'f.j 
11. To take to the outgoing tenant's share of the crop of wheat in 
the month of July after the expii'ation of tenancy. 
[Note. — TJiis shoidd he a stipulation in all cases, and the valuers estimate the 
. number of bushels of corn taketi, the price being left, if preferred, to the 
average of two market-days ; say end of October and end of March. 
Unless this be so taken, the outgoer retains a share of the buildings, &c., which 
shoidd (dways be avoided, it being objectionable to have two masters, or two 
sets of men on the same farm. In a Michaelmas taking this clause will be 
left o^<^.] 
12. To take to a proportionate part of the hay, straw, roots, at a 
consuming price. 
[The tenant should also he bound to leave a proportion — say one-tenth-^of the 
last year's hay and straw, for use of incoming tenant.'} 
13. To pay all rates and tithe rent-charge becoming due before 
commencement of tenancy. 
[This clause is required to place the incoming tenant on the same footing as he 
will leave ujjon ; and it luill fall upon the landlord to sec that the previous 
tenant fulfils his agreement.} 
14. To allow for all the lime or artificial manui-e used upon the 
arable land in the last year of the tenancy, not exceeding I. ; 
and one-third the cost of lime, superphosphate of lime, or bones used 
the last but one. For cake and corn used during the last year, one- 
half the cost price, and one-fourth for that of the previous one. 
This covenant is not to include the manure or feeding stuifs pm*- 
chased with proceeds of hay, straw, or roots sold in accordance with 
Clause 9 in Tenant's Covenants. 
[Note. — This should not exceed twenty shillings for every acre of arable, ex- 
clusive of dressings ajiplied to meadow land ; as although more would he 
applied to some fields, this calculation would he amjjle for the whole farm to 
ivhich it applies; a less sum in some cases — say fifty pounds for every 
hundred of arable land — would suffice. 
Tliis clause is very liberal. We give our reasons for it elsewhere.]
