This indenture witnesseth: That John Jaaiies this day leases to John Smith, both of Washington township, Marion county, State of Indiana, the following real estate, to-wit: The west half of the southwest quarter of Section twenty-four, township seventeen North, Range three East, containing eighty acres more or less, situated in Pike Township, Marion Coiunty, State of Indiana, with all the buildings and appurtenances belonging thereto, sai.l John Smith to have and hold full possession of the same ftir the term of three years from the first day of March, 1904, and said John Smith shall further have the right and privilege to enter said premises during the fall of 1903, for the purpose of preparing the land and sowing wheat. Said premises to be used only for farm aud garden purposes. Said John Smith agrees to handle and aultivate said premises after the manner of good husbandry, an.l return the same to its owner in as good condition as when he received it, excepting the natural wear and unavoidable accidents, sueh as tornadoes and fire, and in sueh ease the said Jones shall make the repairs and be held to said Smith for damages iti* case he does not speedily make said repairs.

In consideration <af the use of said premises, said John Smith agrees to pay the said John Jones the sum of dollars per year .one- third to be paid October the first of each year, and two-thirds the first of February each year. (Or, if grain rent is to be paid, say that said Jones is to receive one- half of all products raised on said premises at premises, as they mature, in condition ready for market; to be received by said Jones on the premises in stack, mow or bin as said Jones may provide.) Said Jones further agrees to furnish all new material on the premises for the repair of buildings, fences, etc., and said Smith agrees to repair the same, except as atxvve named. Saial Jones reserves the right to enter upon said premises to make improvements for its betterment, snbja-.t tai all damage done said Smith. Saial Smith may be ejected from saial premises at the close of any year, on failure to comply with the terms of this lease, nnd shall deliver the same to the owner, at the expiration of this lease, without further notice. The above lease shouhl l>e signed in duplicate by both parties, and properly witnea I think the better mode of leasing a farm, for both owner and tenant, is the following: Inalianapolis, Ind., Sept. 1, 1903. An article of Agreement made and entered into this day by and between John Jones, party of the first part and John Smith, party of the second part. The party of the first part leases his farm, situated in Warren Township, Marion County, Indiana, described as follows, to- wit: The northeast quarter of Section 12, Towuship Ha North, Hange 4 East, iu county and State above named, to the party of the swond part for the term aaf live ya-ars, from the tirst of March, 1901. Saial Jones is to furnish the said farm and one-half of tha live stock and one-half of all tools, harness, machinery, and whatsoever is needed to run a well regulated farm in good farm order, and the saial Smith is to furnish the other half of said t.a.als, machinery, stock, etc. Each party shall bear half of the ra-pairs and replenishing of said tools and stock, and all live stock purchased for breeding or feealing you would better specify what grain Is to be sown or planted in each field. I w.auld say to the Iundloral, Bnd a good renter anal hold to him; and to the renter, find a good landhard nnal stay with him. It is better for landlord and tenant, for the tenant to be able to plan for future crops. The landlord should mat expect the renter to tuke a rundown farm anal bring it up to a good state of cultivation at his own expense uml the tenant shaanhl endenvor to keep the farm in as gaaa„| condition as he received it, so that the passer-by will not say, "that looks like a rented farm." Be mutual, be just. Marion Co. I. N. C. Short Form of Contract 2d Premium.—Laws on contracts anal leases vary iu different States. An oral Old Bobby Neely's Mill, in Waahingtoa Caaunty, Inaliana. purposes shall be paid for by the above parties, half and half, and shall be joint anal equal Stock. Said John Smith agrees to cultivate, harvest and garner the products of said farm, and to breed ,rnl«e and fatten such live stock as will be the mo.-c advantageous to both of the contracting parties, and to feed or haul to market all the products of the farm, and the proceeds are to be divided equally between the said John Jones and John Smith, and the whole arangenient and management of the farm shall be mutual between the contracting parties. Saial Smith is to have firewood for family use from dead and decaying timber. All tools, machinery, live stock, or other property of the partnership, shall lie divided equally between the said John Jones anal John Smith at the termination of this lease. (Signed.) John Jones. John Smith. The above partias pa-rsoually npponred before me ami sigiuil this lease. [Seal.] James Taylor, Notary Public. There nre a few things to be remembered in regaral to contracts. Contracts of over three years duration must be signal before a Notary Public and recorded. You should lie specific in your contract, for you cannot give oral evidence against a written contract in court. If you rent a farm for a single year, aontract in some States is good for three years, in others for oue year or less. The following is an ordinary contract: A Lease made aud executed between John Brown, of the city of Indiauapolis, of the first part, and John Jones, of the U»wn of Poseyville, County of Posey, State pf Indiana, of the second part, this first day of June, 1903. In consideration of rents and covenants hereafter expressed, the said party of the first part has demised and leased to the party of the seco-d part the Allowing real estate ,to-wit: Eighty acres in Town 4, range 12, Section 32, in Hobb Township, County of Posey, State of Indiana, with the privileges and appurtences, for and during the term of two yenrs from the lst day of August, 1903, to the lst day of August, 1905, and the said party of second part covenants that he will pay to the party of lst part one-half .af all grain raised ou said farm, and one-third of all hay, and $5 per acre per year for all pasture land. All rents to be delivered to nearest market by party of sea nml part, at nny time specified by party of the first part. Party of the first part agrees to pay all taxes assessed on snid premises. nnd keep all fences and buildings in good repair, and reserves the right of free access to saial farm at any and all times. Party of second part shall have all fruit necessary for family oae. Party of second part covenants that at the expira tion of said term he will surrender said premise* to the party of the first part In as good condition ns now received, wear and unavoidable damages excepted. Witness our hands nnd seal this, lst day of June, 1903. JohnBrown, lst part, [Seal]. John Jones, 2d part, [Seal.] Witness -Wm. .laihnsaan, Ceo. Smith. Posey Co. J. J. S. Caah Rent is Ihe Best Plan. 3d Premium.—After dealing with all sorts of men and working in all kinds of s.ail, with ull possible results, I have come t.a the conclusion that the best way to ia nt a farm is for cash. By this I do uot meau oue shouhl pay so much per aa ra*. and let the landlord be continually driving out for some fruit, etc., but let there be a written contract, anal in that contract let there be stated the amount the tenant shall pay per acre, and let it state what is expected of the tenant toward building fences, gates, buildings, etc. Bach alay that is put iu on the farm should anted in on the rent. The owner 4f tha* farm should agree to furnish nails, wire, hinges, lumber, wall paper, paint and anything elsa- that would go towards bettering his farm anal the convenience of his tenants. The tenant must use his own judgment as to the amount he can pay au.l still be able to "lay up a little on the shelf." The landlord should not be unreasonable in his demands. If he is getting cash rent he should not expect a share of the fruit, fowls and vegetables. A man who "gobbles up" half the produce raised by his cash paying tenant is like the wealthy lady I know of who ..ept out five cents of ber poor tenant's money because she show- ed her how to make a calico dress. The man who charged 30 cents a head for goose pasture, an 1 five cents for water drunk by a stranger's horse, surely cannot receive a very great reward, although he has his bank account now. We pay four dollars per acre for one hundred and twenty acres, and hold the right to till the soil as we choose anal raise what stock we want. Every day's work put in on the place goes toward the rent Onr landlord's only concern is keeping the place in repair and receiving his rent nt the end of the year. Where the land is capable of producing at all, I would advise cash rent as tbe bast, both for tenant and owner. Boone Co. C. C. C. Premiums of $1, 75 cents and 50 cents are given for the first, second and third best articles for the Experience Department each week.
