A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 237 



additions made later. One of these cows, it seem- 

 ed to me, was just what a Shorthorn cow should 

 be, good sized, fine in appearance, finished from 

 end to end and suckling a big calf, yet carrying 

 thick, smooth flesh. In addition to the desirable 

 qualities mentioned, this cow is a heavy milker. 



Among the bulls used by Mr. Heglund was 

 Roan Goods, by that outstanding sire, White 

 Goods, by Choice Goods. Another was Goods by 

 Golden Lancaster, dam by Good Choice. (See 

 Gigstad sketch.) This bull was the sire of the 

 cow mentioned above. I liked the young bull 

 now in service. He, like the cows, is a beautiful 

 bright roan and comes from C. P. Tut's herd at 

 Bunceton, Missouri. His sire is Denmark 7th, 

 a D. R. Hanna bred son of Village Denmark, the 

 great Villager bull used at Anoka, and out of an 

 Avondale dam. His dam is by Sultan's Duke, a 

 son of Waverly Dale by Avondale, a line of 

 breeding which should give profitable results. 

 This herd has furnished some valuable founda- 

 tion stock for other herds, among them for that 

 of Harrison Meyers of Leavenworth county. 



John Q. A. Miller, Muscotah. Mr. Miller was 

 raised with Shorthorns as his father, J. L. Miller, 

 was a breeder forty years ago, owning one of the 

 well known herds of Atchison county. He has a 

 herd of about twenty females, and only one cow 

 has been added by purchase recently, the rest 

 having come from the herd kept on the farm
