The Lien Law.
tClarion.)

The gist of what is commonly
known as the lien law is embodied
in section 1859 of the Code of 1850,
and is in these words:
1t shall be lawful for persons to
make and execute mortgages OF
deeds of trust upon growing crops
or crops to be grown within tif.
teen months from the making of
such mortgage or deed of trust,
which encumbrance shall be valid
and binding upon the interest of
such mortgagor or grantor in such
crop, but shall not be in any case
prior to the liens provided for in
IAN act in relation to landlord and
tenant, and an act in relation to
the lien Of employers and EN-,
ployees.n
Tested by the rule which deter,
mines merit, the law is a failure
and ought to be repealed. 1t was
adopted Immediately after the wal
when IA large portion of the peo
pie had lost their property ant
were without money or credit to
enable producers to obtain mearl
for making their crops. No
proving satisfactory in its origina
form, it has been fruitful source o
discussion from time to time, ant
has been repeatedly amended
Every change seems to have bee
for the worse. At least, ever
change has furnished occasion fo
renewed agitation and disconten
Matters have been growing froI
bad to worse, until the dissatisfa'
ton with the section of the la
above quoted, seems to be almol
universal. The State Grange re
resenting the great master indu
try of the State, from which
f other pursuits derive their su
stance, and which constitutes Il
hope.of the commonwealth for d
liverance from the slough OF d
. spond, at their recent meetil
passed resolution by acclan
ton and with rising vote, pc
tioning the Legislature for it's
= peal. The people who constitu
y the Grange know the effect of t
law by its practical working,and
appeal from such u source is not
be ignored, nor treated as the
terances of mere theorists. L
effect Of the law has been
tempt the producers to anticipi
the value of their crops, and
spend more than they boug
$. Having tried the law in all
: phases, up one side and down
other, and experienced a ser

I'd course is left, and that is to rep

Governor Blackbarn's Quilting.
ICnnrierLournal.L


The quilting at the Executive |
at Frankfort ON the 18th
ult., was the most enjoyable event
ever witnessed at the State Capt.
tai. At least a thousand persons
partook of the right royal Ken
tucky cheer and participated in the
rejuvinating reels and jigs. This
was for a fact, the Governors own
frolic, and Mrs. Blackburn stood
off and lent every whim and fancy
an approving smile. The Cover
nor was in town and the mansion
blossomed like a rose.
There was not a semblance of
cOnventionality, and everyone en-
tered into the joys of the evening
in hearty Kentucky way. The
quilt was actually finished in the
presence of the guests by the
young ladies and gentlemen. II
was of lavender silk and beautiful
and when the gaslight fell upon i
the sheen was like the waves o
deep Galilee under the starlight o
the Oriental sky.
The young ladies were dresse'
most picturesquely in full'iigure
calicoes of ancient cut, with bans
! ed and powdered hair, crowne
! with huge black combs.

regard to yellow fever, which you
so gratuitously throw i'll to dis
tract attention from what had
been said of yourself, all have to
say is that if, with proofs of which

ables you to formulate the charge
and become responsible therefor,

Wooden bolts in house building
and their superiority over nails is
thus commented on by an English
journal: Why do you make so lavish
a use of nails in the carpenters work
Of our houses, to the exclusion of the
honest old oaken pin? Pull down any
building, if it merely be barn, of
more than 200 years old, and you
will not find single nail in the origi.
nal work; rafters and joists were all
bolted together so stoutly as almost
to defy the tools of the destroyer.
Many an old manor barn, when pull
ed down oflate years-as unfortunate
ly only too many of them are-has
shown itself to have been better built
than most palaces are now. There
are arguments in the way Of economy
Of time and so on in favor of the use
of nails in house building, but they
are as nothing compared wit b the
solid advantage of using wooden bolts.
The iron nails in time canker and rot
rafters and floors, but bolts hold them
together "like grim DEATH" and rem
der house practically indestructible.

About preserving fence posts.
Robert McNelly, the editor of the
Cleveland (Tenn.) Banner, who car-
ries in stock larger supply of practi.
cal knowledge and good common sense
than most men of his calling, has this
to say: In building fence arc und
our young orchard, several years ago,
we tried many plans for preserving
the fence. This winter we noted the
condition of the posts as follows:
Those set with no preparation were de-
cayed an inch or more in thickness;
those coated with thick wash of lime
were better preserved, but were quite
seriously attacked by worms; those
posts coated with hot tar were perfect
ly sound as when first put in the
ground; those painted with petroleum
and kerosene were equally sound and
as good AS new. In the future we
shall treat all posts in the following
manner before setting: Let the post
get thoroughly dry, and then, with a
pan of cheap kerosene and white.
wash brush give the lower third Of
the posts, the part to go into the
ground, two or three good applications
of the oil, letting it soak in well each
time. Posts SO treated will not be
troubled by worms or insects of any
kind, but will resist decay to re-
markable degree. This we find to
be the simplest, easiest, cheapest and
best method of preservation"
