238 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



since 1880. The cow purchased is by imp. Proud 

 Marshall out of a dam by Pitilivie Chief. In gen- 

 eral, I found the cows of good size, straight-lined 

 and indicating that they were reliable breeders 

 and good sucklers. An excellent bull is in service, 

 Rosedale by Avondale, out of imp. Rosebud 2d. 

 This big red is a typical son of Avondale with 

 plenty of size and uniform from end to end. Al- 

 though eight years old, he would not be a bad 

 show bull if put in anything like show condition. 

 He was used for three years in the herd of C. A. 

 Scholz before coming to Mr. Miller's and his 

 purchase by Mr. Miller should prove one of the 

 fortunate hits of his career. Excellent condi- 

 tions are found on this farm for the successful 

 production of every kind of live stock. It is a 

 land of good pastures and alfalfa and with the 

 experience the proprietor has had with Short- 

 horns he should have no trouble, if he chooses to 

 do so, to put his herd well along toward the top 

 in Shorthorn rank and prestige. 



Scholz Bros., Huron.* Scholz Bros, made 

 purchases from C. A. Scholz six years ago ob- 

 taining some of the best things from the herd, in- 

 cluding Westlawn Blanche. (See C. A. Scholz 

 sketch. ) These cows have been very prolific and 

 the firm has had heifer luck. In addition to 

 using the C. A. Scholz herd bulls including Rose- 

 dale by Avondale, they have kept a bull of their 



Ship on Mo. Pac. or Rock Island.
