304 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



Laird of Linwood by Galahad and The Cardinal, 

 bred by Governor Shallenberger, a son of Lan- 

 caster Lad by Scotch Bank and his dam by Com- 

 ing Star out of imp. Maud 50th. The present 

 herd bull is Brilliant Type by the champion, 

 Cumberland Type, the greatest show bull of the 

 decade. His dam is by imp. Manchester, second 

 dam imp. Bonnie Belle. Brilliant Type is a 

 show bull. He has fine length, good depth, is 

 very straight-lined, full in all vital points, covers 

 well and has an elegant head and neck. He should 

 make a splendid individual and a successful sire. 

 M. E. Householder, Clay Center. Mr. House- 

 holder is a new man but one who has made a 

 good start. He has a cow from the Hunt herd at 

 by Nonpareil Star, also a bull of outstanding 

 Blue Rapids by Wodan, the choice Regier bull 

 worth. Her dam is by Grand Lavender 153671 

 and she is exceptionally good foundation stock. 

 On my visit to Mr. Householder I saw a two- 

 year-old heifer that impressed me very favor- 

 ably. She is possibly an extreme beef type, but 

 from the view point of beefy superiority, she 

 grades high. She came from the Amcoats herd. 

 Her sire is Mystic Victor by a good son of 

 Barmpton Knight and her dam was by Lord 

 Mayor, a source of Shorthorn excellence. Mr. 

 Householder is breeding to the Amcoats bull and 

 getting splendid results. This course is highly 

 recommended to smaller breeders.
