Property seized under an attachment, and retained by the officer, shall be kept in the same manner as similar property taken under execution. But perishable property, or property which is expensive to keep, may be sold by order of the court, or in vacation, by order of the judge, such sale to be made in the same manner and upon the same terms as if it were a sale under an execution, issuing from a court other than a justice court.
