    any kind the land must be sown down with good permanent
    cultivated grasses and clovers, and be allowed to remain as
    pasture for at least three years from the harvesting of last
    crop before being again cropped.

11. At all times during the lease the land, if the area of
    the whole exceed 10 acres, must be so farmed that not less

    Commissioner of Crown Lands or any Crown Lands Ranger
    of the district shall have the power at any time to enter
    upon and make any drain through the land that he may
    deem necessary.

15. In the event of the lessee failing to comply with any
    of the covenants hereinbefore mentioned relating to the
    trimming of live fences and stubbing gorse, broom, and
    sweetbriar, and to the cleaning, clearing from weeds, and
    keeping open all creeks, drains, ditches, and watercourses, it
    shall be lawful for the said Commissioner to have such work
    done, and to recover the cost of the same from the lessee.

16. All buildings, fences, and other improvements erected
    upon the land shall be kept in good order and repair.

17. The lessee shall be liable for all rates, taxes, and
    assessments during the term.

    1892," and regulations made thereunder with respect to ap-
    plications for and the grant of leases in perpetuity, shall
    apply, so far as applicable, to all applications for leases
    under "The Land for Settlements Act, 1894."
