328 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



Lord Mayor and the well known sire, Orange 

 Major have been used. Edgewood's Stamp by 

 Clara's Choice is now in service. Mr.* Andrew 

 has recently added to his herd an elegant, big, 

 red cow by that great sire, March Knight. Such 

 cows are not usually found in small herds and her 

 value can not be estimated. 



DICKINSON COUNTY 



C. W. Taylor, Abilene.* It is a farm worth 

 looking over that furnishes the home for the 

 Taylor Shorthorns. Several large houses and 

 large barns and sheds provide shelter for men 

 and animals required in carrying on operations 

 on this tract of 1760 acres of excellent, tillable 

 land. Everything is done on a big scale on this 

 farm. Just now the herd is comparatively small 

 between 100 and 200 head having been re- 

 duced temporarily in order that more wheat 

 could be raised. Its normal size is from 200 to 

 300 head. Everything indoors and out is under 

 the immediate supervision of William Harvey 

 and his estimable wife, who came from Scotland 

 some ten years ago to take charge of this big 

 farm. The proprietor devotes much time and 

 thought to the business and every minute spent 

 with him reveals the wide awake man of big af- 

 fairs.
