If there be any manure in the barnyard, or in the compost heap on the " 7 

 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 

 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.
