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
