A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 233 



five nicely bred heifers from K. C. Thomas. In 

 1906 an additional purchase was made from W. 

 W. Brown. Harmony's Knight, bred by T. P. 

 Babst & Sons, a son of the high priced Knight's 

 Valentine and out of a dam by Laird of Linwood, 

 was the bull in early service. Later Scottish 

 Minstrel by imp. Scotch Mist was used. Free use 

 was also made of the Grlancy bulls. (See Glancy 

 sketch.) 



A splendidly bred aged bull is now in service, 

 A True Cumberland 385024, son of True Cum- 

 berland 2d, by Cumberland's Last. His dam is 

 a daughter of imp. Cluny Flora 79th by Eoyal 

 Pride. He is attractive even in quite moderate 

 flesh as I saw him, with fine head and neck, good 

 quarters, strong loin and very deep body on short 

 legs. A little openness and coarseness of shoulder 

 are apparent, not a serious fault in an old and 

 neglected bull. His calves look promising though 

 the herd has not been kept for best development 

 and these calves, coming through the line of 

 descent they do, should be paying propositions. 

 There are some good, strong cows here 

 and only a little improvement in handling- 

 is needed. 



R. M. Bunnell & Sons, Lancaster. Mr. Bunnell 

 started a good little Shorthorn herd two years 

 ago but it was only recently that he made most 

 important additions, which can not fail to put his 

 business on a splendid footing. The roan, Orange
