What is customary rent on lands planted

crops would the land owner be entitled?
How often should Irish potatoes be plant
ed in the same patch?
Answer-I know of no generally OBJ
served rule on the subject that applies
to either of the crops named. You can get
at 1t by estimating what IS the rental
value in money, and then estimate the
probab bic yield of a particular crop and
ascertain what part OF such probable

while to try to cure a fowl that Is sick
with it. The sick should be removed to a
distant point. and those not affected to
