FOOD FOR PLANTS 205 



If there is 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 to- 

 gether 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. 



Hints for Farmers. 



Vincent's Remedies for farm animals have been 

 used with considerable success for several years, and 

 they are recommended here as being worthy of trial.
