Food for place. But new fencing material, just bought, and never attached 



P^ ants to the soil, would not pass. So piles of hop poles stored away, if 



2og once used on the land and intended to be again so used, have 



been considered a part of it, but loose boards or scaffold poles 



merely laid across the beams of the barn, and never fastened to 



it, would not be, and the seller of the farm might take them away. 



Standing trees, of course, also pass as part of the land; so do trees 



blown down 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. 



If there be any manure in the barnyard, or in the compost 

 heap on the field, ready for immediate use, the buyer ordinarily, 

 in the absence of any contrary agreement, takes that also as be- 

 longing to the farm, though it might not be so, if the owner had 

 previously sold it to some other party and had collected it together 

 in a heap by itself, for such an act might be a technical severance 

 from the soil, and so convert real into personal estate; and even 

 a lessee of a farm could not take away the manure made on the 

 place while he was in occupation. Growing crops also pass by 

 the deed of a farm, unless they are expressly reserved; and when 

 it is not intended to convey those, it should be so stated in the 

 deed itself; a mere oral agreement to that effect would not be, in 

 most States, 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 manures 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 should be. A deed 

 of land ordinarily carries all the buildings on it, belonging to the 

 grantor, whether mentioned or not; and this rule includes the 

 lumber and timber of any old building which has been taken down, 

 or blown down, and packed away for future use on farm.
