lambs were weak, throughout the day
with trading very draggy.
Weighty steers sold slow at $7 to
$7.50 for a few choice. Common but
chers went at $4.50 with choice han
dyweight kinds at $6 to $6.50. Cows
moved within a range of $2.50 for
common up to $4 and $4.50 for good

Hunting Big Jacks
The following is a second write-up
by Ben East, sports writer in the
Grand Rapids, (Mich.,) Press,
For sheer excitement among field-
sports coursing the. European hares
of Ontario—'known to the 'Canadians
wherever they are found as jackrab
bits—with greyhounds is the t-op.
The big 'hares keep to the open
fields, making them an ideal quarry
for the fleet-footed greyhounds. They
refuse to hole up, no matter how they
are pressed, and their speed is fast
enough to put a greyhound to a very
fair test.
On a straight run in the open the
average greyhound can overtake a
hare without any great difficulty.
But once the hound has cut down the
rabbit’s lead and is literally on top
of him the fun really begins and a
rabbit overtaken is not a rabbit pick
ed up, by any means.
The hares are adept at turning
and dodging while running at full
speed. In a pinch they twist with
an agility that a scurrying cotton
tail might well envy and a greyhound
running at full tilt, is hopelessly out
classed by them when it comes to
making quick turns.
On our recent trip after hares in
to the Exeter section of Ontario, ac
ross the border from Port Huron,
we spent two forenoons hunting with
greyhounds and we saw a few chases
of the kind a hunter seldom wit
nesses.
Use Foxhounds, Too
We hunted the first morning with
three dogs, purebred greyhound one
whom our Canadian hosts relied to
furnish most of the excitement, a fox
hound to keep the “jackrabbits” go
ing—not that they seem to require
much help,, for that matter—and a
crossbred greyhound and foxhound
almost as fast as the purebred dog.
In the course of the first half hour
or so of hunting we saw several hares
some running, some sitting along the
fences, but in each lease they were so
far away that' it was of no use to
send the dogs ofter them. A grey
hound can’t afford to give a hare too
much of a lead if he expects to catch
up.
Finally we spotted two of the big
rabbits coming our way along a
fence. We waited motionless and
they came up to within thirty rods
or so. There they halted. A move
ment among the dogs attracted them
and they wheeled and loped off
across the fields
Instantly the three dogs were af
ter them, the two greyhounds- lead
ing. They gave the hares a brisk
run -of a half a mile or more but the
latter had too mulch of a head start
and the dogs lost them when they
cut through a small patch of -dense
woods. A greyhound runs by sight
alone. He ha& no nose and if the
quarry gets out of sight it is safe
from pursuit.
The fox hound stayed on the track
passed from hearing, within a few
mnutes and didnt’ show up again for
a full hour. One of the hares led
him a chase of at least five miles.
One Look Enough
A short time later we jumped an
other rabbit, this time no more than
15 rods ahead. 'The purebred grey
hound saw him and w'as off like a
shot. The rabbity made -a short run
and evidently decided nothing was
following, for he stopped and looked
around. One look was enough.
He spotted the dog, coming full tilt
on his 'heels, and the way that hare
got going was something to marvel
at. He laid his long ears back, went
into high gear from a standing start
and for a dozen rods he seemed to
fly.
The dog was cutting down his
lead fast and the ^gbbit seemed to
know it. He swerved, headed for
a patch -of cover and the two of them
put everything they had into the
race. Given another 50 yards the dog
would have overtake* the hare, but
he made the brush safely and the
greyhound turned and came back.
We move through the patch of
cover and as we came out on the
other side the dogs met a hare com
ing across the fields. They were
onto him almost before he saw them.
It was plain at the outset that the
rabbit’s only chance lay in outdodg-
ing the pair -of dogs. He knew it’ as
well as they did and he wasted mo
time.
Time and time again the dogs
pinned the rabbit in between them
but each time he twisted sharply,
was out of the tight cornei' and' head
ing -once more for the 'patch of cover
where he seemed to realize he could
shake them off. Time and again he
risked his neck to- circle ahead of the
dogs in an effort to gain the woods
apparently aware that if he sought *
safety in straight flight across the
open field his rum should be a short
one.
(Too Much For Dogs
Once or twice when everything
seemed lost, with one or the other
of the dogs literally on top of him,
he trucked them by stopping short
and letting them run over him, their
weight carrying them yards beyond
and sending them rolling over and
over in the sn-ow as they tried to
stop and turn.
Watching them it was- easy to be
lieve the story Delbridge had told us
of a greyhound that broke its neck
last winter on a rabbit chase. It ran
the rabbit for some distance along a
wire fence, overtook the quarry and
tried to reach through the fence and
pick up the hare while running at
full speed. It thrust its head be
tween two strands of wire and1 its
neck snapped like a match stick.
Finally the rabbit we were watch
ing worked its way to within a few
yards of the edge of the brush. It
swerved sharply, shook off the dogs
for an instant’, raced for cover. The
purebred greyhound pivoted and
lunged after it, almost doubling the
speed of the hare. But the big rab
bit stopped- and turned -once more,
sending the dog rolling headlong in
the snow. iShe tore out a patch off
fur in -passing bu.t before she -could
regain her feet the hare was in the
brush and safe.
And I think all of us were glad.
One More Chase
We saw one more outstanding
chase, the following morning, in an
open 10-acre field. We went out
that -morning with only one dog, the
purebred, and the excitement began
almost as soon as we left the car.
In a patch of willow brush we jump
ed three of the hares, one so close
that we shot it before it could get
out of range. The dog coursed an
other a'cross the field for a half mile
lost it and came back, and just then
we saw a fourth rabbit coining across
a big field straight toward us. •
It' came on and was almost into
our corner of the field when the
-dog saw it. 'She cleared the inter
vening fence in a long soaring bound.
-The rabbit spotted her at the game
time, wheeled and ran for its life.
The dog overtook it along the fence,
driving it back toward the center of
the field, and then dodged, twisted-,
-feinted and circled the entire length
of the field in an exhibition of foot
work that was a Classic.
But the rabbit was too much for
-one dog alone. He reached the far
-corner of the field a yard' or two
■ahead of the greyhound went under
the fence—and the dog quit. She
-was completely run out and she
stood there and Watched the rabbit
lopes away up the road to- safety
without inraking the slightest effort
to get through, under it or over it.
I think, she was secretly glad the
■the fence was there. She’d had all
-the hare c-oursing she wanted for one
day and- she turned and came wear
ily back to us, about as exhausted a
dog as ever let a rabbit get away.

NO silk hats await the truck drivers who

as exciting as any sailor's yarn are the
feats some of these men can tell about.
Take the case of S. J. Walsh of the

started out for Sault Ste. Marie from
Newcastle, Ontario—a trip of more than
600 hazardous miles.
Fifty-six barrels of apples were on the
platform of his Maple Leaf heavy duty
truck, yet the powerful two-tonner made
the grade all the way in "apple pie”
style. He didn't stop for even a minor ad
justment. He didn't add any oil to the
crankcase—it didn't need it. He got
exceptional mileage to the gallon of
gasoline.
