Texans of their horns and putting meat and thrift under 

 their hides, roaming the ranges of Australia and the Ar- 

 gentine; known, valued, appreciated wherever symmetry 

 and feeding quality are sought in the agricultural world!

 should bring the glow of an honest pride into the heart 

 of every man who owns one. There is that in this name 

 which should command you to cast out sordid selfishness 

 and stand up for the breed in its entirety, resolved to do 

 nothing by word or act which will in any way imperil 

 its future. There is that in the grand old name of Short- 

 horn which should inspire all who love the breed with that 

 same ambition which moved the Athenian youth of old to 

 exclaim: "The trophies of Miltiades will not let me sleep."
