Typical Farms in Cheshire and North Wales. 
Tenants should be paid by landlord or incomer according to 
the following sliding scales of allowances for durable improve- 
ments and expenditure in manures and feeding-stuffs : — 
(«) For outlay on bone manure applied to pastures, on eight years’ 
scale. 
( b ) For outlay on bone superphosphate applied to pastures, on four years’ 
scale. 
(c) For outlay on bones, raw or dissolved, or purchased animal or 
mineral manures applied to clovers and meadows mown once, on two years’ 
scale. Mown twice, nil. 
(d) For outlay on cake fed on pastures, on four years’ scale. 
(e) For outlay on draining (whole cost by tenant), on twelve 
years’ scale. 
(/) For outlay on eradicating hedges, filling up pits, &c., on fifteen 
years’ scale. 
( g ) For outlay on erecting new buildings (whole cost by tenant), on 
twenty years’ scale. 
(A) For manure left at end of tenancy, and for hay and straw uncon- 
sumed, two-thirds their market value. 
Agreements. 
A recognition of sale of any produce under certain conditions 
is being made in some agreements, but most of them are more 
or less restricted, and some are antiquated. They penalise for 
breaches of covenant in breaking up old permanent pastures or 
clover roots after notice has passed on either side ; for deviating 
from fixed rotations of cropping ; for growing more than stated 
areas of particular crops, potatoes for instance ; and for disposal 
of hay, straw, roots, &c. In some instances sliding-scale allow- 
ances for compensation for unexhausted value of fertilisers and 
improvements to out-going tenants at the expiration of the 
tenancy have been introduced ; in others this has not been done, 
and claims would require to be made under the Agricultural 
Holdings Act. These agreements were more honoured in the 
breach than in the observance. The tenants cultivated as they 
pleased, and sold what produce they thought proper; and, as 
long as the farms were satisfactorily managed, they apprehended 
no admonition or interference.
