That is to say, the said lessee hereby covenants and agrees that he will cultivate the said farm during all his possession of the same, in such manner as good husbandry requires, and in especial, that he will (here insert carefully and fully all the agreements which the parties have made respecting the cultivation of the farm or to which the lessor intends to bind the lessee, and to which the lessee is willing to be bound). And the said lessor on his part covenants that he will, at the request of the said lessee, renew the lease for the period of years, to begin at the expiration of his lease. In Witness Whereof, The said parties have hereunto interchangeably set their hands and seals the day and year first above written. Signed, Sealed, and Delivered in Presence of (Signature.) (Seal.)

In some countries the great body of the land is let in this way; the proprietor finding for the use of the occupier, such cattle, seeds, implements or tools as may be agreed upon, and the tenant or occupier of the land paying to the proprietor the agreed proportion of the produce. This proportion varies in those countries with varying circumstances, from one-tenth to one-half; being generally from one-third to one-half. If parties in this country make a bargain of this sort, and wish to reduce it to writing, the foregoing form of a lease will answer their purpose, provided they write, in the place of the agreement about rent in that form, what each of the parties agrees to do by their bargain; the one as to what the lessor shall provide for the use of the hirer, and the other as to what share or propor tion of the produce the lessee shall pay or deliver to the lessor or owner, and how it shall be delivered. Other rules as to the rights and obligations of farmers as owners or hirers of a farm, or lessors and lessees, or landlord or tenants, will be found in our chapter XXXI on leases. Among them are the rules relating to repairs, and the obligation of either party to make them, rebuilding in case of fires, assignment of lease, or underletting of the whole or a part of the farm, the rights of out-going tenants to crops which he sowed and which mature after he leaves the farm, tenancy at will, and notice to quit; and other like points. For the law on these subjects we refer to that chapter. INDEX. FOR INDEX OF FORMS, See page 860. A.
