Judge Bennett of Massachusetts,, be-
fore the state board of agriculture, said,
in substance, that a deed conveys the
fence standing on the farm, the fencing
stuff, posts, rails, etc, which had once
been used in the fence. but had beeL
taken down and piled up for future use
again in the same place But new renee
material, just bought and never attached,
TO the soil, will not pass. Standing trees
mass 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 has then become
personal property. Manure IN the Darn
yard, or in a COM act heap ready Tor I'M
mediate 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 Oarty and had collected II
in q heap by itself. Growing crops pass
by the deed of farm, unless they are eA,
pressly reserved aud when 1t IS intended
to reserve those It should be so stated IN
the deed itsclf; a mere oral Agreements
would not be valid in law.
Another mode is to stipulate that pos
session is not to be given until some future
Giay, in which case the crops or manur%
nav be removed before that time. AS tC
.he buildings on the farm, though gener
ally mentioned in the deed, 1t IS not aoSo-
Iutely necessary they should be. A deed
of land ordinarily carries all the buildings
ON il belonging to the grantor, whether
mentioned or not: and this rule includes
,he lumber and timber of any one Dulld
ing which has been taken or blown down
and been packed away for future use on
the farm But if there be any DuldlhSs

with the farmers leave, the deed WoulG
not convey these since the buildings are
personal property and do not belong TO
the land owner to convey. Inc rea
owners thereof might move them on
although the purchaser of the farm sup,
S-0sed he was buying and paying TOT al
'.e buildings on it. His only remedy III
such a case would be against the party
selling the premises.

they be at the time taken oil ana carrleu
TO the painters shop TO be painted. II
would he otherwise if they had been newly
purchased and brought into the house Ou'
not vet attached or htted to 1t. lightning
rods 90 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 cnl4-
ney. is not while range set IN DITCH
work is. Mantelpieces so attached u
the chimney as not to be re
moved without marring the plaster
ing go with the house, but if merely rely
resting on brackets they may be takeL
away. Pumps, sinks, etc, fastened tt
the building are part of it in law, anI
SO are the Water-pipes connected ther1
with bringing water from a distan
spring. II the farmer had iron kettle
