A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 243 



seems manifest to eventually bring the herd to 

 the basis of the more popular blood lines of the 

 day. At the Salter-Robison sale in May, 1920 

 three heifers, all well along in calf to Dale's Re- 

 nown, were secured. Each of these heifers is 

 by Public Opinion, a son of the splendid bull, 

 Masterpiece, by Ben Wyvis and the breeding is 

 not only of the best but it is also of the kind that 

 is very popular. Since then Mr. Howard bought 

 Mina Marigold Lady and her heifer calf by imp. 

 Proud Archer. This young cow is not only of the 

 best type but her ancestry is of such quality as to 

 recommend her to the most critical. 



I shall mention only two herd bulls, both com- 

 ing from the leading Polled herd in America. Of- 

 ficial Duke bred by J. H. Miller was by Golden 

 Gauntlet, one of the best of Mr. Miller's early 

 bulls. The present herd bull, Forest Sultan, 

 comes from Mr. Miller's. He is by Sultan's 

 Creed by Sultan of Anoka, sire of more high- 

 class Polled herd bulls than any other bull of the 

 breed. Forest Sultan's dam is by Linwood Favor- 

 ite by imp. Cock Robin, a bull of national reputa- 

 tion as a sire. That Forest Sultan is a great sire 

 is shown in his get and the reason for this may 

 easily be credited to the fact that he represents a 

 strong concentration of Whitehall Sultan and 

 imp. Cock Robin, two of the breed's great bulls.
