322 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



Abbotsburn 3d whose sire was out of Mary 

 Abbotsburn 7th, the unrivaled cow of her day. 



A splendid bull was secured from S. D. Mitch- 

 ell, a son of White Goods, dam by 47th Duke of 

 Airdrie. (See Mitchell sketch.) Another one 

 was by Captain Lovely out of a dam by Mr. 

 Stodder's great Captain Archer. The present 

 herd bull is a massive roan by Mr. Hanna's 

 Hampton Spray out of Golden Queen 3d by imp. 

 Collynie, second dam, imp. Golden Queen. (See 

 S. C. Hanna history.) This is a very desirable 

 bull and those who like the big, beefy, deep, thick 

 kind could not help liking him. A promising 

 yearling bull, recently bought from E. L. Stun- 

 kel, will also be tried. He is by Cumberland 

 Diamond, dam by Star Goods, second dam by 

 Victor Orange. 



J. W. Sickles & Sons, Winfield. Substantial 

 care is being given the good sized herd of Short- 

 horns on this farm but they are not being pushed 

 for extra development. The appearance of the 

 calves speaks well for the cows as producers. I 

 was impressed with the fact that the Sickles have 

 ample facilities for handling their cattle and that 

 it would probably be only a question of time un- 

 til their ambition would lead them to put up a 

 high-class herd. The material .they have on 

 hand is good enough, if mated with the right 

 kind of bulls and developed rightly, to produce 

 such results.
