and corded up for sale; the wood lias llieii become per- 

 sonal property. 



If there is any manure in the harnyard or in the com- 

 post heap on the lield, ready for immediate use, the buyer 

 ordinarily, in the absence of any contrary ai>Teement, 

 takes that also as beloni>-ing to the farm, thou,e,-h 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 man- 

 ure 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 convev those, it should be so stated in the deed itself ; 

 a mere oral agreement to that effect would not be, m 

 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 do^^^l, and packed away for future use on farm.
