COW HIDES ARE TOUGH

l began farming with six cows at
$75 per head. They we're noble milk

their owner, who retired from dairy

care was left to the hired man..
Bought them in March, and, coming
ont nightly from town, was gratitled
to see the pals brimming with milk.
April was cold, windy and wet.
The hired man informed me that
cows hides are tough and greasy.
They sweat SO In the stable as though
they were soaked with rain, and cool

frosty nights aud heavy dews: some

TERMS OF A LEASEHOLD
Valuable Information for Landlord and Tenant
FROM DENVER FIELD AND FARM

ordinary wear and tear and inevitable
! accidents. The law allows Il farm
tenant to remove at the end of his
term the Improvements which he has
put upon the premises for his own use
and benefit, provided they are Of tenn
without injury to the premises. Some
times it requires II lawsuit to deter
mine these matters. An improve
ment may be Of such character, so
close to the line, that Il lawyer cannot
make the right guess as to whether
it is fixture or merely personal
property which the tenant has right
to remu"e and even Il district judge
might make Il mistake about IL and
have to be reversed by the supreme
court.
In view of the foregoing consider
ations those who enter into leases
should put certainty into their con.
tracts about IL number of important
details. The following matters at
least should be definitely settled by
express agreement whether the lease
is written or oral. FIRST. an exact
and accurate description Of the rent
ed premises: second. when the lease
Is to begin and when it is to end:
third, what rent is to be paid and
when and where IL cash-or il the
rent he part of the crop. how much
and when and where it is to be de-
Iivered: fourth, what is TO be done
about straw, stalks and manure:
tfth. what temporary Improvements
the tenant may put upon the prem
ises with the privilege OF removing
them; sixth, what repairs. If any. the
landlord Is to make. a written lease
should be made in duplicatc-Onc for
the landlord and one for the tenant.
We think it always prudent to put Il
lease in writing whether the law re-.
ouireS IT, or not. 1t can then be re-
ferred To by each party and Is less
likely to cause misunderstanding.

happy. At the close "f the service
there were three excellent additions

doubled in the last three months.
The church is in far better condition
