A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 337 



began breeding forty years ago but not until 1910 

 did the firm buy really high-class stock. In 1911 

 the Dawes began showing, exhibiting at both 

 Kansas state fairs and at St. Joseph, Missouri. 

 In the space allotted I can not tell of all the 

 good cows. The three-year-old Last Rose comes 

 from II. H. Kupper. She is by imp. Scottish 

 Sentinel out of a daughter of imp. Strowan Star, 

 second dam by Baron Kear 2d. An outstanding 

 cow is the roan, Maxwalton Lavender 2d by 

 Avondale and out of imp. Lavender Bloom by 

 Silver Plate, second dam by Roan Robin. This 

 cow is a full sister to the famous Carpenter & 

 Ross sire, Maxwalton Renown. In the herd is a 

 daughter of Maxwalton Lavender 2d by Max- 

 walton Revolution, that is very promising and 

 representing, as she does, an extreme concentra- 

 tion of Avondale blood, she may prove exception- 

 ally valuable. Villager's Baron 4th by imp. Vil- 

 lager out of a daughter of imp. Evening Baron- 

 ess, carries near the top the blood of imp. Cup- 

 bearer, America 's champion bull. Wayside Lav- 

 ender is by Maxwalton Revolution out of a dam 

 by Avondale. A typical Ruberta's Goods heifer 

 of the best type is the four-year-old Nonpareil E. 

 that proved herself a fine breeder. Miss Rams- 

 den 6th by Baron Pride 275479 is not only a good 

 cow but she raised and suckled a calf good 

 enough to be well in the money at the Missouri 

 State Fair in 1919. This calf was sold to M. R.
