A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 323 



In common with all the cattle of this territory, 

 the blood of imp. Collynie is found strongly in- 

 fused in the top crosses, also that of Prince of 

 Collynie, imp. Scotchman and 47th Duke of Air- 

 drie, three bulls that figure prominently in many 

 of the cattle coming from H. M. Hill's herd. 

 From the Stodder herd, located near by, came 

 the blood of the noted sire, Captain Archer. Mr. 

 Palmer's Commander; the Bellows bred Cham- 

 pion's Best; the well known Valley Champion; 

 Scott Jr., an outstanding show and breeding bull ; 

 Dr. Primrose, the great son of Baron Victor 

 owned by Williams Bros, and others of like qual- 

 ity are much in evidence. With good sized, strong 

 females of such ancestry and a high-class bull 

 which the Sickles intend to secure, the task of 

 producing real Shorthorns will not be difficult. 



CRAWFORD COUNTY 

 Theo. Jagels, Hepler. This is a substan- 

 tial herd founded in 1916 to which some out- 

 standing females, that could not fail to attract 

 general and favorable attention, have recently 

 been added. Mr. Jagels has the practical utility 

 idea firmly fixed in his mind and the cattle I 

 have seen that went into his herd convince me 

 that here will be an establishment that will turn 

 out a splendid class of best money making Short- 

 horns.
