Where an officer shall be about to levy an execution or attachment on personal property, some of which shall be claimed as exempt, he shall demand of the defendant that he make selection of such property as is exempt to him and in reference to which he has the right of selection; and the defendant shall then and there make his selection, or, failing to do so, the officer shall make it for him, and any selection so made shall be conclusive on the defendant.
