What a Deed to a Farm in Many States Includes. 



Every one knows it conveys all the fences standing on the farm, but all 

 might not think it also included the fencing-stuff, 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 fencing material, just bought, and 

 never attached to the soil, would not pass. So piles of hop poles stored away, 

 if once used on the land and intended to be again so used, have been con- 

 sidered 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 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 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
