280 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



the Whitewater Stock Farm will find a parallel 

 in the bull which will head this herd. 



At the Salter-Robison sale held at Wichita 

 May 15, 1920, a consignment of twenty-seven 

 head, which included several of the imported 

 cattle, made an average of $920. Sweet Fra- 

 grance, bred by Win. Duthie, sold to Albert Hul- 

 tine of Nebraska for $2400, and a number of the 

 American bred females sold for more than $1000. 

 It should be kept in mind that the cattle were in 

 thin flesh and that Mr. Robison retained the 

 most desirable ones in his foundation herd. 



Fremont Leidy, Leon.* Mr. Leidy is the old- 

 est breeder of his community. Nine years ago he 

 went to the Alex Fraser dispersion and bought 

 three of the best cows of that excellent herd. Pre- 

 vious to this he had bought from the J. F. Stod- 

 der herd a trio of splendid cows. This gave him 

 daughters of Falsetto, the noted Norton bull; 

 Silk Goods, the son of Choice Goods and Lassie 

 of Tebo Lawn and Captain Archer, one of the 

 best sires in the West. They were out of dams by 

 15th Duke of Hillsdale, one of the last of 

 his great family; Lord Thistle, son of the 

 noted cow, Mysie 45th and Gwendoline 's Prince, 

 another son of Mysie 45th. The herd has been 

 very prolific and four sales of about forty head 

 each have been held, the greater part of the of- 

 ferings having been descended from these cows 



Ship on Frisco or Santa Fe.
