      such mare or cow from such service, for the amount agreed on at the time
      of service, or if no agreement was made, for the amount specified in the
      statement  hereinafter  required  to  be  filed, if within twenty months
      after such service he files a  notice  of  such  lien  with  the  proper

      the enforcement thereof, as provided in sections two hundred six to  two
      hundred  ten,  both inclusive, of this chapter, for the foreclosure of a
      lien on chattels.
