AGRICULTURE.

1. In an action brought by the holder of a thresher’s lien for the con- version of certain grain covered by the lien, it is held that there is sufficient evidence from which the jury could infer that the lien claimant was the owner or lessee of the threshing machine. Hiam v. Andrews Grain Co., 250.

2. § 6855, C. L. 1913, relating to thresher’s liens does not require that such lien shall show that the parties agreed on a certain price per bushel for threshing the grain upon which a lien is claimed; and such lien if otherwise sufficient, is not rendered invalid because it shows that the parties, instead of a certain rate per bushel, agreed that the thresher should be paid so much per hour for the time employed in threshing. Hiam v. Andrews Grain Co., 251.

8. Under § 6857 of the Compiled Laws of 1913, which gives the farm laborer a lief for his wages, a laborer is not given a lien for the value of the use of his own horses and machinery. Lee v. Lee, 971.

4. Where a farm laborer performs services for which he is to be compensated under an entire contract, embracing both his wages and the value of the use of his horses and machinery, is, under the statute, § 6857, entitled to a lien for his reasonable wages. Lee v. Lee, 971.

APPEAL AND ERROR.

1. The record transmitted to this court on appeal cannot be impeached, changed or altered by affidavit or other evidence of matters dehors the record. Such record imports verity, and is conclusive evidence of the proceedings had in the lower court. If the record is incomplete or incorrect, amendment or correction must be sought by appropriate proceedings, and not by impeachment on the hearing in this court. Hufford v. Flynn, 33.
