Here again tenant's claim is for such proportion of the sum properly laid out, as represents the value to an incoming tenant.

From this must be made the deductions as appear annexed.

1st.—If, after tenant has fed cattle upon such purchased food, he has applied their manure to a part of the holding, and then upon such part grown a "crop of corn or other exhausting crop," he can claim nothing.

2nd.—If the outlay for purchased food has been greater during the last year than the average of the three preceding years, the sum receivable will be ascertained in the same manner as shown in deduction 3rd on page 29.

There seems, then, but very little for which, under this class, a tenant can claim compensation, for the restrictions imposed are very great.

Inasmuch as by Sec. 51 a tenant gets a whole year's notice to quit, it is presumed that the cases will be rare where there will be much unexhausted manure.
