not pass by the deed unless especially
mentioned. Loose boards thrown
across the beams in the barn. and scaf-
fold poles, do not go with the farm,
but can be taken down and removed
or sold. It would be otherwise it they
were nailed or fastened to the building.
It is held that boards and timbers once
used in a building. which has been torn
down, and the materials stored away to
be used again, go with the farm. as 8
part of the real estate. :.
Growing crops are so far fixtures
that they pass with the deed for the
farm, unless expressly reserved in tho
deed itself. A mere verbal agreement
that the crops shall not go with the
land is not enough to bind the parties.
The deed passes the ownership OF all
the growing trees, and of the trees
which have fallen in the woods, and
which remain where they fell. When

wood, or ready to behauled to the saw
mill and made into lumber. they be-

In States where fertilizers are used,
the fact that manure commonly goes

that produced it, has been settled by
many lawsuits.

however, the blinds have never been

the farm will have to pay a separate
price for them, if he wants them. The
courts have decided that tie-chains for
cattle, attached to the barn, and tie-up
planks, stanchions, timbers, ETC., are
tacitly included in the deed, and pass
by it. Mantel pieces made part of the
house go with it, but if put up with
brackets and in such way that they
can be removed without damage to the
building, the contrary is true. Brick
furnaces, set kettles, pumps in wells
and sinks, all go to the new purchaser
of the farm. Without further enumer-
alton, it may be said that many practi-
cal difficulties of the subject can be re,
moved by applying the rule mentioned
in the opening paragraph of this article.

The Kind of Cultivation Necessary to Pro@
duce This Delicious Fruit.
The best land for growing melons is
dark, sandy loan, having gravelly
subsoil, through which water rises
within two to six feet of the surface.
Such lands are seldom found outside
of the first or second bottoms of large
or small rivers. The high or upland
which nearest approaches in character
river bottom is the best place to grow
melons. The best manure is well.
rotted stable dung, In connection with
that of pigeons, chickens and turkeys;
and the best fertilizer, guano, with or
without the acid phosphate. The land
should be plowed, narrowed, and fined
in the fall, and laid off so the melon
hills will be from ten to twelve feet
apart each way. Where each hill is to
be an opening should be made foot
deep, and in circular shape, three feet
across. Into this the manure and the
fertilizers should be put to the extent
in quantity that will a third fill
the hole, the earth returned,
This should be done in the fall, so as to
give chance for the manures, fertili-
zers and earth to become Incorporated
with each other. Plant dozen seed in
hill as soon as the earth is well
warmed up and there is nothing to
fear from frost. Commence cultivating
as soon as the plants are fairly above
ground, and when the cut-worms have
done their work, thin to two plants
in hill. Continue the cultivating, and
keen the land clean till the vines bepin
to run, but beware of disturbing them
in any way after that period of growth
has been reached. If our correspond
ent will find the right kind of land,
and will follow these directions, he will
be pretty sure to get large, if not early,
melons. But still he may find many
difficulties in his way, and we advise
him before he undertakes growing
melons on any considerable scale to
take tour among the melon growers,
near and remote, and he will return
home feeling the time and money well
spent. american.

DUCKS EGGS.

The Hen rs a Foster-Mother - How They
Should BE Treated During the Process
of Incubation.
Frequent complaints are made that
ducks eggs, when placed under hens
to hatch, fail to produce a fair proper
ton of live birds. The failures are
largely due to the fact that the eggs
are kept too dry. 1t ought to be borne
in mind that duck in setting nest
will, on going off to feed, have a swim
before she returns and, as her feath-
ers will be wet in consequence, the
eggs get the benefit of it. Ducks
eggs, therefore, when placed under
hens, must be kept moist or they will
not hatch, for without the required
moisture the inner skin becomes hard
and tough, so that the bird can not
make its way out. 1t is good plan to
make the nest in moist place; it is
also well to sprinkle the eggs with a
little warm water when the hen is of
the nest.
The large Cochin or Brahma hens
are good breeds to use in Matching
ducks eggs, as these will cover adozen
eggs with ease. Ducks are prolific
layers, and when the drake is not more
than two years old the eggs are very
fertile. The period of incubation for
ducks is twenty-eight days, but when
the eggs are fresh they will often hatch
a day or two earlier. The eggs ought
to be as nearly equal in age as possible,
so that all Will come out together. If
the eggs are kept moist as has been
suggested, there will be little if any
loss during the process of Matching.
Should the Matching be very irregu-
lar the ducklings that are dry may be
taken away and put in flannel in a has
ket near the fire. Remember that they
require considerable covering; indeed,
a light cushion placed over the flannel
is good arrangement, provided, of
course. there be ample ventilation of
The sides to prevent the young birds
from smothering. Unless, however.
there is considerable delay in Matching
It is better not to disturb the hen until
hen and birds are all already to be re-

HAY.
Rules for Measuring 1t in Bulk and In
Stack.

Stack.
Sam Bassett, of New York, desires a
rule for measuring hay in the NOW or
stack. No arbitrary rule can be given
that will apply in every case. Ordi-
narily with good upland hay in small
mows, and not too heavily pressed, 512
cubic feet are calculated for ton, but if
the NOW is large and the hay closely
pressed, 400 cubic feet will make ton.
This is upon the supposition that the
hay comes from an old NOW. There
fore, to find the number of tons in a
barn NOW, multiply the length, breadth
and depth in feet together and divide
by such number between 400 and 512 as
is believed to be necessary to meet the
condition of the NOW.
In the case of stacks, the case be-
comes little more complicated in the
matter of calculations. To find the
cubic feet in regular conical stack,
first find the area of the base, by null
tipIying the square of the circumfer-
ence in feet (Which is easily measuredD
by the decimal .O795S, and the product
thus obtained by one-third of the height
in feet, and then divide as before. 1t
the STACK IS square OF oplonS upoH us
base and is very nearly regular, like
the roof to house, multiply the length
and breadth in feet by one-half the
height in feet, and divide as before. Ii
the stack is in the form of frustrum
pyramid, the accurate calculation be-
comes more complicated, and as an
approximate rule would answer all pur-
poses we will only give the latter: Find
the area of the top and bottom, each,
by multiplying the length by the
breadth, and then multiply one-haf
the sum of these two areas by the
height, and divide as before directed.
These will probably be sufficient for all
ordinary cases. We are OF the opinion
that in practice 512 is more frequently
used for diviser than any other num-
bern. Y. Sun.

FARM DEEDS.
What Passes by the Instrument-Build-
ings and Fences-Crops and Fixtures.

What Passes by the Instrument-Build-
ings and Fences-Crops and Fixtures.
In the buying and selling of farms,
disputes frequently arise as to what
passes by the deeds-that is, what fix
lures or movables are included in the
transfer of ownership of the farm,
although there may be no question as
to how far the farm extends, and how
many acres it contains. Many of these
disputes result from the difficulty OF
distinguishing between real estate"
and personal property, or to use
more accurate legal terms, between
..land'' and fixtures. In law, the
word '.land'' includes houses and
barns, and other buildings, as well as
the soil itself, and fixtures" are arti-
Giles affixed to land, as pumps, fences.
maptel-pieces, hooks for hanging
clothes. articles of household furniture,
etc. Fixtures are commonly called
movable" and '.immovable, the latter
including all articles so attached to
Gland" or using the term in its legal
sense (that is, including its build
ines chat they can not be removed
without damaging the .'land;' such as
doors, permanent shelvings, ETC., while
articles not so attached, as chairs,
stoves, ETC., are movable fixtures.
The rule is, that the land, in its legal
meaning, and all immovable fixtures,
pass by the deed. Bearing the forego-
ing in mind. it is commonly easy to de-
termine what articles the deed passes.
Whether mentioned in the deed or
not, all the permanent buildings on
the farm pass by a conveyance. Tenn
porary buildings, as corn cribs, hog
pens, hen houses, ETC., will pass, unless
expressly reserved in the deed. So
strong is the presumption that all the
buildings on farm pass by the deed,
that even when third person has
been allowed by the farmer to put a
building on his land, such building is
held to go with the farm,
and the actual owner is not allowed to
remove it. It is argued that the buyer
of the farm had right to suppose that
the building belonged to the farm. The
owner of the building can recover
its value of the man who has sold
the farm upon which it was
placed. 1t is very commonly known
that the fences pass with a sale of the
farm. 1t is also true that fencing ma
terial, as posts, boards, etc., when once
used, go with the farm, although they
may at time of the sale be out of the
soil, and piled away for future use. If.
however. the fencing materials have
