A HISTORY OP SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 235 



about twenty-five females of which I shall men- 

 tion a few. Archer's Lovely is a five-year- 

 old red of good size and rather extra finish. Her 

 sire, Maid's Archer, was by the International 

 grand champion, Ceremonious Archer, out of 

 imp. Ballechiii Charming Maid. That she is a 

 good producer and milker was fully proved by 

 the appearance of the heifer calf at foot by Red 

 Line. This bull is a son of imp. Scottish Sentinel 

 and Sobriety 8th by imp. Strowan Star. Red 

 Queen comes from the G. A. Betteridge herd. 

 Her sire is Victor Model by Orange Model. The 

 bull at the head of the herd is Cumberland Chief 

 by Secret Cumberland by Dale's Cumberland 

 353509, a son of Cumberland's Last and Dale's 

 Golden Gift by Avondale. His dam is the Duncan 

 bred Simplicity 2d by Golden Lavender. The 

 herd has passed the government tuberculin test 

 and is fully accredited. Mr. Dawdy has, in the 

 course of his career, sold Shorthorns to buyers 

 from fourteen states. He has the most remark- 

 able memory for dates and numbers of any man 

 I have met. He is sales manager for the North- 

 east Kansas Breeders Association. 



W. H. Graner, Atchison.* Mr. Graner is one 

 of the old breeders of Atchison county. At the 

 Breeders sale held in Kansas City in 1893 he 

 bought three cows and a bull. A year later he 

 bought another cow and from these his entire 



Farm near Lancaster.
