erty into the possession and care OF
another, and that other is not uD-
frequently a person of doubtful utll-
ity. These ru,es and cautions may
we'll be observed:
1. Trust to no verbal lease. Let
it be in writing, signed and sealed.
Its stipulations then become com
mands and can be enforced. Let it
be signed in duplicate, SO that each
party may have the original.
2. Insert such covenants as to re-
pairs, manner of use and in restraint
of waste as the circumstances call
for. AS to particular st%ipulations,
examine leases drawn by those who
have had long experience in renting
farms, and adopt such al meet your
case.
3. There should be covenants
against assigning and Undertaking.
4. If the tenant is Of doubtful re-
sponsibility, make the rent payable
in installments. A covenant that
the crops shall remain the lessons
till the lessee's contracts with him
have been fulfilled, is valid against
the lessee's creditors. In the ordi-
nary case of renting farms on shares,
the courts will treat the crops as the
joint property Of lord and tenant,
and thus protect the formers rights.
5. Every lease should contain
stipulations for forfeiture and re-
entry in case Of non-payment or
breach of any of the covenants.
6. To prevent a tenants commit
ting waste, the courts will grant all
injunction.
Z. Above all be careful in selecting
your tenant. There is more in the
man than there is in the bond

SPECIAL FARMING ADVOCATED.
No Improbable animal should be
kept on the farm; no Improbable
crop raised. We should be able to
estimate the cost of our crop before
putting in the seed, and the cost OF
our animals before we raise them.
1t is necessary for the manufacturer
t. know at just what cost he a
produce his wares or goods. SO

little of everything for market is
not best in a business light. Rather
produce that which you a raise at
Tie best profit and to the best adj
vantage. Usually some specialties
should engage the attention and
plans Of every farmer, and there
with secure, if possible, perfection at
the lowest reasonable cost. In cul-
ture this involves the use Of the best
tools and implements, the removal
of all needless distractions, the best
arranged fields and buildings, with
regard to convenience and use, and
such plans as shall secure the result
with the least outlay of time and
money. Whatever we attempt should
be done in time and we'll. In all
these respects there is generally
room for radical Improvements

BONES DISSOLVED WITH ASHES.
In dissolving with ashes, there are
several things to be considered to
prove successful. The ashes must
be, good; those of oak and hickory
[ find the best. Some say that wood
grown on low land will not make
soap, &C nse .nently will not dissolve
bones. AS [ have always burned
wood from off ridge land I cannot
answer for this. The ashes must be
kept moist, just SO they will not
drain. They should be kept from
freezing. If suffered to freeze, the
process ceases The smaller the
bones the quicker they will dissolve.
This is the way [ have managed
my bones for the last two years. AS
fast as ashes can be had they are put
in barrels, the bottom is covered
about six inches deep in ashes, then
a layer OF bones, then a layer ashes,
then a layer of bones, and SO on, I'm

ashes to one of bone. The ashes
