Judge Bennett, of Massachusetts,, be-
fore the State Board of Agriculture,
said, in substance, that a deed conveys
the fence standing on farm, the fen
cling stuff, posts, rails, etc., which had
once been used in the fence, but had
been taken down and piled up for flu
ture use in the same place. But new
fence material, just bought and never
attached to the soil, will not pass.
Standing trees pass as a 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 has then become per-
sonal property. Manure in the barn.
yard, or in a compact heap ready for
immediate use, the buyer ordinarily
takes 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 in heap by itself.
Growing 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; mere oral agreement 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 re-
moved before that time. As to the
buildings on farm, though generally
mentioned in the deed, it is not abso-
lutely necessary they should be. A
deed of land ordinarily carries all the
buildings on it belonging to the gran
tor, whether mentioned or not; and
this rule includes the lumber and tim
Der of any old building which has been
taken or blown down and packed away
for future use on the farm. But ifthere be
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 landowner to
convey, The real owners thereof
might move them off, although the
purchaser of the farm supposed he was
buying and paying for all the buildings
on it. His only remedy in such case
would be against the party selling the
premises. ee
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. 1t would be otherwise if they
had been newly purchased and brought
into the house but not yet attached or
fitted to it. Lightningrods go with
the house. A furnace in the cellar,
brick or portable, is considered a part
of the house, but an ordinary stove
with loose pipe running into the
chimney is not, while range set in
brickwork is. Mantelpieces, SO at
tached to the chimney as not to be re-
moved without marring the plastering,
go with the house, but if merely resting
on brackets they may be taken away.
Pumps, sinks, etc., fastened to the
building are part of it in law, and so
are the water-pipes connected Herewith
bringing water from 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 statues, vases, etc.,
resting on the ground by their own
weight, and sells his estate without res
Aervation, these things go with the land.
