THE FARM.
WHAT A DEED OF IT INCLUDES, AS TOLD
 BY A LAWYER.

OF course every one knows it conveys all the fences standing on the farm, but all might not think it also included the fencing stuff, posts, rails, etc., which had once been used in the fence, but had been taken down and piled up for future use again in the same place. But new fencing material just bought and never attached to the soil would not | pass. So piles of hoop-poles, stored away, if once used on the land, have been considered part of it but loose boards or scaffold poles laid closely across the beams of the barn and never fastened to it would not be; and the seller of the farm might take them away. Standing trees, of course, also pass for part of the land :; so do trees blown down and still left in the woods where they fell, but not if cut and corded up for sale; the wood has then become personal property.
 Ii there be any manure in the barn yard, or in compost heap on the field, ready for immediate use, the buyer or dinarily takes that also, as belonging to the farm though it might not be so, if the owner had previously sold it to some other party and had collected it together in heap by itself. Growing crops also pass by the deed of 8 farm, unless they are expressly reserved and when it is not intended to convey those, it should be so stated in the deed itself; mere oral agreement to that effect would not be valid in law. Another mode IS to stipulate that possession is not to be given until some future day, in which case the crops or manure may be remov- ed before that time.
 As to the buildings on thefarm, though generally mentioned in the deed, it is not absolutely necessary they should be. A deed of land ordinarily carries all the but dings on it belonging to the grantor, whether mentioned or not and this rule includes the lumber and timber of any old building which has been taken down or blown down and been packed away for future use on the farm.
 But if there be any buildings on the farm built by some third person, with the farmers leave, the deed would not convey these, since such buildings are personal property, and do not belong to the land owner to convey. The real owners thereof might move them of, ,, although the purchaser of the farm SUD- posed he was buying and paying for all the buildings on it. His only remedy in such a case would be against the party selling the premises. As part of the buildings conveyed, of course the win dow blinds are included, even if they be at the time taken off and carried to a painters shop to be painted.
 It would be otherwise if they had been newly purchased and brought into the house, but not. yet attached or fitted to 1t. Lightning rods also go with the house, if farmer has any on his house. A furnace in the cellar, whether brick or portable, is considered part of the house, but an ordinary stove, with a loose pipe running into the chimney is not; while range set up in brick work is. Mantle pieces so attached to the chimney as not to be moved without marring the plastering go with the house, but if merely resting on brackets they may be taken away by the former owner without legal ability. The pumps, sinks, etc., fastened to the buildings, are part of it in law and so are the water pipes connected herewith, bringing water from distant spring. If the farmer has iron kettles set in brickwork near his barn for cooking food for stock, or other similar uses, the deed of his farm covers them also, as likewise bell attached to his barn to call bis men tt dinner. If he indulges in ornamental statues, vases, etc., resting on the ground by their own weight merely, and sells his estate without reservation, these things go with the land -Factory ond Fa1ma.
 GREEN FOOD AND GRASS.
 Fowls cannot get along we'll on grain food alone, and must, in both winter and summer-tho latter especially-be sup piled with some green, succulcnt food or they will, ere long, become diseaset or sickly, when the matter of profit vii be very problematic indeed. Many { time have we seen persons pay snug little sums for 8 small flock of fine fowls, put them into neat houses and yards give them plenty of corn, wheat, oats etc., watering them regularly, but never allow them bite of grass or other green food. The place must be small, indeed which cannot afford enough grass for { flock of fowls. If sods cannot be ob
