A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 187 



THE BREEDER'S GAZETTE 



It took forty years of highly constructive service to earn 

 for the Breeder's Gazette such affectionate pseudonyms as 

 "the Stockman's Bible" and "the farmer's greatest 

 paper." It is doubtful whether any other agricultural 

 journal is so deeply esteemed by those who read it. Cer- 

 tainly no other farm paper reaches a higher type of rural 

 citizenry. In fact it has been said that merely by riding 

 through the country one could invariably pick out the mem- 

 bership of the Gazette family. 



Why? Well, because The Breeder's Gazette presents the 

 ideals, the inspiration and the common sense that enables 

 men to build such farms as stand for what is best in Ameri- 

 can agriculture. 



The Breeder's Gazette is devoted to the science and art 

 of farming the stock farm. Its editor is Alvin H. Sanders, 

 gratefully known to every Shorthorn breeder as the 

 author of "Shorthorn Cattle," the history of the breed in 

 America, and one of the classics of agricultural literature. 

 This book is, within itself, the text for a Shorthorn educa- 

 tion such as could not, otherwise, be obtained. 



I have been a reader of the Gazette since April 1882, re- 

 ceiving it regularly except when too negligent to renew. 

 Now after nearly forty years, I am willing to ascribe what 

 Shorthorn enthusiasm I possess, more largely to The 

 Breeder's Gazette than to all other influences combined. 

 The stand for common-sense principles and right methods 

 which the Gazette has always taken, invariably appeals to 

 the judgment of the reader. All over this country are 

 found successful Shorthorn breeders who are children of 

 the Gazette family. Its influence is as potent as ever and 

 the breeders who do not read and profit from its teachings 

 are few. 



If you are one of those who do not read this valuable 

 paper, send a postal card for sample copy to the Sanders 

 Publishing Co., 542 South Dearborn St., Chicago.
