A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 335 



551519 by Selection, grand champion at the In- 

 ternational in 1909. His dam is by Scottish Con- 

 sul 181231, son of imp. Consul and imp. Violet 

 3d, second dam by imp. Golden Fame out of imp. 

 Scottish Ringlet. Mr. Flanagan seems to be a 

 good care-taker and there is nothing in sight to 

 interfere with success. 



J. H. Taylor & Sons, Chapman.* Mr. Taylor 

 began the Shorthorn business when he bought 

 four cows and a bull of A. H. Lackey & Son in 

 1885. Two years ago he purchased nine desir- 

 able heifers. One of his best cows is Ruth 3d by 

 Marengo's Pearl 391962 by Marengo's Choice, 

 the splendid son of Rosedale's Choice and imp. 

 Marengo's Lavender Countess. Another one 

 by Marengo's Pearl is Goldie 533001. Her 

 dam is by Silvery Knight by Gallan't Knight out 

 of a cow by Strathallan Chief. 



The herd has had the benefit of the use of 

 good bulls. Students of Shorthorn history will 

 recall Baron Lavender 2d as one of the most 

 wonderful bulls ever produced in America, and 

 Emma 5th as the famous twin with Emma 4th in 

 the Potts show herd. Lord Lovell, a calf from 

 these two celebrities, was one of the Taylor 

 herd bulls. Golden Knight, the famous old sire 

 used by Col. Harris, was one of the earlier bulls 

 purchased by the Taylors. Marshal Goods by
