eastern promenade in tho trail of a pulling shifter and was run in sec tions down to the dock where lay the dominion liner ottoman ready- to sail for liverpbol when the cargo should bo completed judson who was nineteen years old had worked for three years in everett coa lumberyard not far from the portland harbor front tho placo was laid out in square blocks and- a mctlv odicafemployeo had given names to the different roads which tho company for convenience sake had adopted fastening up small signs at tho more important corners threo broad par allel avenues fiat second and third forty feet npart ran from eaat to we3t- there wore cut at right ahfilea by four streets a b c and d running north and south besides theso roads along which largo twohorse iteams mlfiht bo driven there were many little alleys through which a man on foot could make his way tho yard waa full of spruce hona- lock and pine with a few thousand feet of nntive ash tho plle3 ranged in height from ten to twentyfive feet with some even above the latter figure rising perilously near tho toppling point space was precious and was utilized to the last inch all tho forenoon of the day mention ed judson and two others were em ployed irt stacking some inch-and-a- half hemlockthat had come- byrall from the interior of the stato when tho twelve oclock whlatlo sounded everybody tapped work and went to dinner t meanwhile the cattle were belpg transferred from the istockcara to the depks of the ottoman in the shipment were two hundred knnsaa steers snuffing for tho first time tho strong salty odor of tho ocean from the car doors to the gangway led a passage walled with movablo fence sections and alone this a streajn of struggling animals tossing their heads shouldering snorting bellow ing poured down to their stalls on the steamer it was twenty minutes before ono and the lant steers were beliur driven on board amongst them was one especially large and powerful animal he was rawboned and leanflanked two weeks on the crowded cattlecar with scanty provender and water had reduced ti la flesh but had not tamed his spirit his eyes rolled wickedly and he had analr that boded mis- chlet just outside tho shed door a narrow opening in the fence guarded by u longshoreman caught the animals eye at the very moment that a shouting on shipboard distracted the attention of the sentinel k there was a clatter of hoofs a wild rush a bellow the guard was knock ed over liko a tenpin and tho liber ated beast dashed up the wharf stop that steerahoutcd the fore man frantically one stevedore fresh from a maine farm thought that he was equal to the task he ran in front of tho animal with arms extended wide to drive him back aha a challenge thought the steer down went his head up roso his tall and he was in r full charge before the unsuspecting stevedore used to dealing with tame dnimajs could realize what was happening just in the nick of time ho saved to turn back to the grocery s ore or to cut across- tho street would bo out of tho question if ho attornied either the beast would surely over take him along the inner edge of the walk ran a hour d fenoe eight feet high nnd thla ho could not scale a hundred feet ahead tho entrance of the lumberyard matlo a broad opening in the fence to reach this was tho only chance it was literally a nice for life no barnyard animal was pursuing him but a fierce untamed brute drunk with ungovernable rage eager and able to mutiluto and sidy with the terrlblo weapons it boro upon its hend judbon had run fast on previous oc- cosiojns but hover so fast as now close behind him resounded tho beat cf boofs the iseasta panting and snorting were loud in his ears tho steer wne at the boys very heels when the latur turned suddenly ind darted into tho yard hoping to shake off hift pursuer but tho animal had no idea qjc giving up the chase so easily ho swtered with surprising quickness struck tho fenco heavily on the other side of tho opening and with but a httlo loss of time was speed ing down tho avenue between tho board pijes in hot pursuit of tho flee ing lad the sun was warm on the dry boards and tho air was fragrant with tho scent of spruce and hemlock there was not another man in tho yard at this tlmo so tho steer and judson had tho placo to themselves thoy were running down second avenue the boy had planned to dodgc jlnto sne alley between tho piles whero the animal would nbt follow him but so ciobo was the pursuit that he did not daro to check hia course suf ficiently to attempt this on the avenue for if ho should miss the narrow open ing the beast would overtake him a and b streets were ulready but if ho should turn down c street at right angles with his present course he would galrra moment on tho steer and then could dart into tho first narrow lathe ho had no tlmo for a second thought and but llttloln which to puthia first into execution c street was now ohly ten feet ahead the steer was less than ten feet behind him judson leaped cloao to tho walls of bourds on tho left and slackened his speed- hia enemy with oyes fastened on tho rod sweater pressed closely there was not a yard of clear space between them when the corner was reached to arrest his progress so that ho might turn sharply judson caught hold of the angle of tho pile causing it to totter a second later tho stoer utruck the same spot with hia shoulder while it was still trembling from tho previous shock the combined attack proved too much for tho equilibrium of the nicely balanced boards a perfect avalanche of inch spruco camo down with a loud crashing burying- beneath it both animal and boy it was strange tho judson was not killed outright fortunately the boards foil in such a way thatwhllo confining him closely thoy at tho same time protected him his faco escaped with out a scratch but his arms and legs were pinioned so that ho could do nothing to free himself tho steer likewise waa a prisoner all the flght was gone out of tho beast and he now thought only of escape he was not a pleasant companion hia head almost touched judsona body and his vicious struggles threatened to bring more boards down on them both meanwhile half a dozen steve dores with ropes and poles had organ ized themselves into posse and hud started up the street in tho wnko of the steer- they tracod his course by the alarm he r had caused and arrived at i i tho entrance of the lumberyard about by s m tho strophe hlnfl an cleclrli4jit lo o and tho waa flteera cantered out into the railway j boards roao a spae- yard it was the first

tho entire party a good twenty minutes to freo boy and beast from their prison of his bone were broken had a few bleeding bruises but np arently was not otherwise hurt x rope was put around his horns

wild apparition sweeping down upon him tho brute gave him no chahco to recover from his fright there won a crash a rattling of tin a splintering of wood the stand was upset on top of its owner and pennuts strewed the ground in wasteful profusion not designing to attack thel vender prone amid the ruins of his abolished booth and scattered wares the steer started up tho street on the run the sudden appearance of an elec tric- car brought him to a standstill and its hearer approach sent him car coring down a side street everybody gaveh1m7room nnd ran up alleys women screamed and shrank

outlet for these pro ducts is of course great britain the one gret consuming country of the world with ait open market unfortunately nearly every other country with any surplus of food products seems to want to send its surplus to this same market the keenness of the competition on this our only market and the energy and resourcefulness of our competitors began to impress them selves upon the department of agriculture some time ago but it is only within very recent years that the real and only way to grapple with this now believes as do also most of he farmers of this country that the grading of our agricultural products is the policy and practice that is seeing us through the struggle and will assure us of our rightful place on the british market t 1 grading means the classifying of products whether they be hogs but ter cheese eggs or anything else into awhat might be called in a general nay best good fair and poor classes these exact words are hot used in describing the grades but that is what is meant the purpose served in grad- in is threefold fi educatiorial when the pro- ducer7seesthe- relativequality of his product he is spurred on to maintain that quality if it iff the best or to improve the quality where necessary 2 fair play when products are not graded the inferior article for various reasons often brings as much as trie suberior aicle and the credit and
