upon gathering himself 10 his feet. he i'm.
agined that he had done great bodily harm

from the caves, and fell upon the pavement

Ben thought his nose was doing the clean

LETTING FARMS.

1t is common remark thatto let farm
to tenant, in nine cases out Of ten, is
to destroy its fertility. Why is this so? II
is because of the tenure of the lease, il
mostly being from year to year; the tenant
has, therefore, no inducement to lay oul
anything in the improvement of the land
We have known instances where tenants
omitted to use the resources on the place
they respectively occupied, fearful that. il
they improved their land, landlords would
raise their rents. We have in our mind
at the present moment. a tenant who occu-
pied river farm, whereon there was i'm.
menss deposits Of oyster shells in high
state Of exudation; whose shores were
lined, spring and fall with sea weed, and
who had the right OF using the mold and
leaves from about seven hundred acres of
wood land but who, to our utter surprise
never availed himself Of either of these
fruitful sources of fertilization, although he
had occupied the farm for twenty years.
Upon our expressing our astonishmsnt that
he did not use them, he asst ignsd as a rea-
son for his not having done so, that he
rented it from year to year, and if he were
to improve it, the gentleman from whom
he rented would raise his rent. 1t was in
vain we endeavored to point out his mis-
taken policy. Now if this man held a
lease for any considerable number OF
years, the probability is that he would have
improved both the land and his own pecu-
MARY condition, whereas he left it, after
twenty three years occupancy, dead poor.
Landlords who have farms to let should
ponder this matter over well, as they are
deeply interested. Leases for years, might
be so conditioned by landlords, as that
while they insured the improvements Of the
land. they would offer a guarantee to ten
ants, and thus throw shield around the
interest of both.
