new herd bull. In Q-. Wittry's herd he sired 

 heifers that leave little room for criticism and 

 that promise to develop into large, matronly cows 

 with much Shorthorn character. Individually, 

 Fancy Lad 2d is of proper type and conforma- 

 tion. He is out of an excellent cow of choice 

 breeding, a daughter of imp. Fancy 2d and his 

 sire, Prince Valentine 4th, is among the state's 

 best bulls. He comes from Tomson Bros, and 

 is one of their good productions. Mr. Jewell is 

 president of the Southeast Kansas Association. 

 O. A. Weddle, Savonburg. Mr. Weddle has 

 plenty of enthusiasm and good cattle sense to 

 guarantee success in producing Shorthorns. He 

 has a herd of twenty-five females. Purchases 

 were made locally and at Wolfe Bros. ' sale and 

 include some choice individuals of elegant breed- 

 ing. One of the good ones is Roan Blossom, a 

 five-year-old by Victor Sultan, a bull of the 

 Whitehall Sultan family through Whitehall 

 Chief. Her dam is by Orange Champion 274875. 

 Another Victor Sultan cow is Hepler Rose. Her 

 dam was out of Barmpton Lady 5th bred by 

 George Allen and sired by Godwin, one of the 

 best sires of valuable breeding cows in the cen- 

 tral West. Lady Barmpton, own sister to Hep- 

 ler Rose, is also in the herd. Another five-year- 

 old roan is Miss Eva by Searchlight's Bloom, one 

 of the good sons of Searchlight and a sire of 

 much desirable stock.
