The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1885-02-06

Judge Honnett, of Massachusetts,,
before the state board of agriculture,
said, in substance, that deed on,eys
the fence standing on the farm. the
fencing stun. 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 eever alta he'd to the soil, will not
pass. Standing trees pass as part of
the land; so do trees blown OF cut down
and still left in the woods where they
fell, but not Il cut and corded up for
sale; the wood has then become personal
property. Manure in the barnyard, or.
in n compact heap ready for immcd ate
use, the buyer ordinarily takes as be-
longing to the farm; though it might not
be so II the owner had previously sold
it to some other party and had collected
it in heap by Il elf. Growing crops
pass by the deed of farm, unless they
are expressly reserved, and when IL Is
intended TO reserve those ii should be
so stated in the deed itself; mere oral
agreement would not be valid in low.
Another mode Is to stipulnte that pos
session Is not to be given until some
future day, in which case the crops or
manure may be removed before that
time. As to the buildings on the farm,
though generally mentioned in the deed,
it is not absolutely necessary they
carries all the buildings on 1t belonging
to the grantor, whether mentioned or
not; and this rule includes the lumber
and timber of any old building which
has been taken or blown down and
been packed away for future use on the
farm. But II there 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 FEM
edy in such n case would be against
the party selling the premises.
As part Of the buildings conveyed,
the window-blinds are included, even il
they be at the time taken of and car
ried to the painters shop TO be painted.

newly purchased 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 port
able, is considered part of the house,
but an ordinary stove with loose pipe
running into the chimney is not, while
range set in bric&wood is. Mantel-
pieces so attached TO the chimney as
not to be removed without marring the
plastering go with the house, but Il
merely resting on brackets they may bC
taken away, Pumps, sinks, etc, fast
ened to the building are part of it in
law, and SO arc the watcr-pipes con
nected herewith bringing water from
distant spring. II the farmer had
iron kettles set in br.ckwork near his
barn for cooking food for his stock, oil
similar uses, the deed of his farm cover:
them, as likewise the bell attached tC
his barn to call his men TO dinner. Il
he INDUCES in any ornamental statues
vases, etc, resting on the ground by
their own weight, and sells his estate
without reservation, these things e
with the land.
