WHAT A LAND DEED CONVEYS.

WhA1 n LAND NVN
Judge Bennett. of Massachusetts,
before the State board of Agriculture,
said in substance, that a deed con-
veys the fence standing 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 on 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 fell, but not if
cut and corded up for sale; the wood
then becomes personal property. Ma
nure in the barnyard, or in a COM
pact heap ready for immediate use,
the buyer ordinarily takes as belong
ing to the farm; though it might not
be so if the owner had previously
sold it to some other party and had
collected it in heap to itself. Grow
ing crops pass by the deed of a farm,
unless they are expressly reserved,
and when it is intended to reserve
those it should be so stated in the
deed itself; a mere oral agreement
would not be valid in law
Another mode issto stipulate that
possession is not to be given until
some future day, in which the crops
or manure may be removed before
that time. As to the buildings on
the farm, though generally mention
ed in the deed, it is not absolutely
necessary they should be. A deed Of
land ordinarily carries with it all the
buildings on it belonging to the grant
or, whether mentioned in the deed or
not; and this rule includes the lum-
Der or timber of any one building
which has been taken 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 owners con.
sent, the deed would not convey these,
since the buildings are personal prop
erty and do not belong to the land
owner to convey. The real owners
thereof might move them off, although
the purchaser of the farm supposed
he bought and paid for all the build
ings on it. His only remedy in such
case, would be against the party
selling the premises.
As part of the buildings convey
ed, the window-blinds are included,
even if they be at the time taken off
and carried to the painters shop to
be painted. 1t would be otherwise
if they had been newly purchased
and brought into the house aDl not
yet fitted or attached to it. Light
ming rods 90 with the house. A fur
mace in the cellar brick or portable.
is considered a part of the house,
an ordinary stove, with a loose pipe
running into the chimney is not,
while a range set in brick-work is.
Mantel-pieces so attached to the
chimney so as not to be removed
without marring the plastering, 90
with the house, but if merely resting
on brackets, they may be taken away.
Pumps, sinks, etc, fastened to the
building are a part Of it in law, and
so arc the water pipes connected
Herewith conveying water from
distant spring. If the farmer had
iron kettles set in brick-work near
his barn for cooking food for his stock,
or similar purposes, the shed of his
farm covers them, as likewise the bell
attached to the barn to call his men
to dinner. If he INDUCES in any or
namental statues, vases, etc, resting
on the ground by their weight, and
sells his estate without reservation,
these things go with the land.
