The lease in question; containing the requirement of good cultivation of the leased land, contains no forfeiture clause for a violation of same and the defendant takes the position that this, clause is a mere covenant, the violation of which may make the tenant liable to respond in damages, but does not subject him to forfeiture of his estate and possession. Such is the distinction between a covenant and a condition. [8 R. C. L., page 1100, sec. 158.] The general rule is that clauses in a lease providing for payment of rent in a specified time or manner, for the use of the demised premises for a particular purpose only, for land to-be cultivated in a designated manner and the like, are, in the absence of a forfeiture clause, mere covenants and the violation thereof affords no ground for forfeiture. This principle of law is well expressed in 16 B. C. L., p. 1115, sec. 633, thus: “It is the general rule that the breach by the lessee of the covenants or stipulations on his part contained in the lease does not work a forfeiture of the 'term in the absence of an express proviso to that effect in the lease, the lessor’s remedy being by way of a claim for damages; and this includes in case of a lease of farming lands a breach of the covenant to work or cultivate the land in a husbandlike manner.” [See, also, 24 Cyc. 1349 and 1392; Mullaney v. McReynolds, 170 Mo. App. 406, 415, 155 S. W. 485; Tarlotting v. Bokern, 95 Mo. 541, 8 S. W. 547.]
