We print elsewhere a call for a joint
Pvaunos Daxl (ixgwt Moh1at) a meeting of farmers with the State Board
of Agrioulture. It is certainly to the
interest of every section of the State to
be represented at the meet
ing by its active farming el
ement, so that the suggestions made
will oome direotly from the class de
signed to be benefited by push sotion as
may be taken. As the .Board explains
in making the call, the meeting ' U in
tended, in a measure, to be a medium
of communication between the farmer
and the legislature, where the man who
follows the 'plow-handle joins in dis
oussions whioh tend to benefit farmers
as a class, and where may be learned
what has been done by the Department
of Agrioulture in the interest of the
farmer." We hope therefore that tne

that on yesterday Col. A. B. Andrews
of this oity, was eleoted third vice-

1 . The distinction between a pledge
and a mortgage of personal property is,
(1 lLat in the former the title is retain
ed by the pledger, while in the latter it)
paeies to the mortgagee, and (2) that,
the delivery of the possession of the
property to the pledgee, is absolutely
essential to a pledge, while, between
the parties, but not against creditors or
purchasers, suoh delivery is not neces
sary to the validity of mortgage.
2. At common law, delivery and. re
tention of the oustody of the property,
was neoesrary to the validity of a mort-
I a. i a l
gage, aa agamst creation aou purouaa
ers, but now, by statute, registration is
substituted therefor.
3. A mortgage of chattels, in parol,
is good, between the parties. No par
ticular form of words is necessary to
the constitution of suoh a mortgage. It
is si fficient if it appear that the parties
intended it to operate as suoh.

doubtless relieve the situation and
would probably have as grett an effeet

notice that Mr. Field, one of the oldest
and ablest members of the New York
bar, makes valuable suggestions eon
corning needed reforms. ' He advocates
simplifying the forms of pleadings, deeds
and other legal instruments He very
truthfully remarks that nearly half the
words used in pleadings, deeds and
indictments are unnecessary. Take,
for instance, one of our indiotments for
murder, and see how absurdly long it
is, how many absolutely useless words
it contains. Law and medicine in some
respects seem to have mide l&ss pro

fessions. A physician will not consult
with another unless he has a diploma
no matter how much medioine he may
know, nor will he use a patent medicine
or any other remedy, no matter how
efficacious, unless it is "put down in
the books." And so it is in many re
spects with the lawyers Does not this
disposition to oling to the old ways and
the indisposition to make any changes
for the better tend to bring these pro
fessions into disrepute with the people?
