240 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



Spicy Beauty 8th. The entire herd is as accept- 

 ably bred as the two mentioned, not only through 

 the line of sires but on the maternal side also. 

 One of the bulls that has been used in building 

 this herd is Rosedale by Avondale out of imp. 

 Rosebud 2d. Another was Primrose Royal by 

 Mr. Hanna's Prince Royal. One of the choice 

 things in the herd, Dale's Golden Gift 2d, is by 

 this bull. Dale's Cumberland, one of the best 

 known of the herd bulls was a white by Cumber- 

 land's Last out of Dale's Golden Gift by Avon- 

 dale. Another bull that has attracted attention 

 is Beaver Creek Sultan. He went from Vansell's 

 to Tomson Bros. ' herd where for several years he 

 did good service. The bull now used is Roan 

 Sultan by that noted sire, The Gallant, the white 

 son of Avondale, and the great cow, imp. Rose- 

 wood Pride. He is not only the right kind of a 

 bull but he is getting the right kind of calves, 

 that bid fair to develop into high-class cows. 



Louthian Bros., Huron.* This is a firm of 

 young men, nephews of the Scholz Bros., and 

 their foundation was secured from C. A. Scholz. 

 They have some valuable cows and the young 

 things on the farm show good care. The best al- 

 falfa hay I have seen this year was on this farm 

 and alfalfa is a big factor in Shorthorn develop- 

 ment. Louthian Bros, have a first-class bull, 

 better than is usually found in a small herd.
