A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 225 



Hampton's Spicy by Hampton's Successor, one 

 of the really good sons of Hampton's Best, 

 brought in the Merry Hampton blood and was a 

 splendid sire. Imp. Gallant Favorite, an Ander- 

 son bred son of Dunglass Favorite, was used for 

 a time and left a lot of excellent young things. 

 Most of the cows now on the farm are bred to 

 Ba.pton Charm, a good, big, smooth son of imp. 

 Bapton Corporal and imp. Millcraie Costly Belle 

 and highly satisfactory results are anticipated 

 from this cross. A young bull on the farm that is 

 being watched with interest is Gallant Favor. He 

 is a son of imp. Gallant Favorite and imp. 

 Beauty's Pride 2d, an Anderson bred cow by 

 Proud Brigadier 609477. He is almost a year 

 old, too young to have certain judgment passed 

 on him, but he is very smooth and has great 

 depth of body with fine head and neck. If he 

 fills out well, as he might reasonably be expected 

 to do, he should be as worthy as any of his pre- 

 decessors. Valuable additions were made by pur- 

 chase of some of the best cattle in the offering at 

 the leading 1920 sales, which puts the Gigstad 

 herd in the front ranks. 



H. A. MeLenon, Effingham.* Mr. McLenon 

 had been with good grade Shorthorns all his life 

 and a few years ago he decided to put in pure 

 breds instead of grades. He has exceptional 

 pasture conditions with plenty of forage of 



Ship on Mo. Pae. or Bock Island.
