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, post 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 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 wood where they fell, but not if cut and 

 corded up for sale; the wood has then become per- 

 sonal property.
