"The lapse of years only serves to strengthen 

 the position of the Shorthorn. A century of close 

 contact with the most exacting requirements of the 

 farm and feed-lot has only deepened the hold of the 

 'red, white and roan' upon the affections of the agri- 

 cultural world. The source of this perennial pros- 

 perity must be apparent even to the most casual 

 observer. The strength of the Shorthorn lies in its 

 unrivaled range of adaptability ; in the facility with 

 which it responds to the varied demands of those 

 who pursue a system of diversified farming the 

 rearing of live stock as an essential feature in a well 

 ordered scheme of mixed husbandry. The Short- 

 horn is distinctly and emphatically a dual-purpose 

 breed." A. H. Sanders in Shorthorn Cattle.
