The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1885-01-03

Judge Bennett, of Massachusetts, before
the state board of agriculture, said, in sub
stance that n deed conveys the fence stand
ing on the farm, 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 fence material just bought and
never attached TO the soil, will not pass
Standing trees pass as part OF the land
so do trees blown or cut down and still left
in the woods where they cell but not if cut
and corded up for sale the wood has then
become personal property Manure in the
barnyard, OF in compact heap ready for
immediate USE the buyer ordinarily takes
as belonging to the farm though il might
not be 50 if the owner had previously sold
il to some other party aud had collected i
in heap by itself. Growing crops pass
by the deed of a farm, unless they are ex-
pfessly reserved. and when it is intended
TO reserve those it should be so stated in
the deed itself mere oral agreement
would not he valid in law Another mode
is to stipulate that possession is not to be
given until some future day, in which case
the crops ar manure may be removed before
that time. As to the buildings on the farm,
though generally mentioned in the deed, il
is not absolutely necessary they should be
A deed Of land ordinarily carries all the
buildings 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 OF blown
down and been packed away for future use
on the farm But if there he any buildings
on the farm built by some third person,
with the farmers leave, the deed would
not convey these, since the 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 supposed he was
buying and paying for all buildings on it
His only remedy in such case would be
against the party selling the premises.
As part of the buildings conveyed. the
window blinds are included, even if they
be at the time taken off and carried to the
painters shop to be painted. II would be
otherwise if they had been newly purchas
ed and brought into the house but not yet
attached or fitted TO it. Lightning rods GO
with the house. A furnace in the cellar
brick or portable, is considered part Of
the house, but an ordinary stove with a
loose pipe running into the chimney is hot
while range set in brickwork is Mantel
pieces so attached to the chimney as not to
be removed without marring the plsstering
go with the house, but if merely resting on
brackets they may be taken sway Pumps
sinks, etc, fastened to the building are a
part of it in law, and so are the water-pipes
connected Herewith bringing water from
a distant spring, If the farmer had iron
kettles set in brickwork near his barn for
cooking food for his stock, or similar uses,
the deed Of his farm covers them, as like
wise the bell attached to his barn to call
his men to dinner If he INDUCES in any
ornamental statutes, vases, etc, resting on
the ground by their own weight, and sells
his estate without reservation, these things
go with the land.
