thistles" any more than they did 2000 years ago. 

 An inspection of three crosses in the pedigrees 

 of these cattle, selected as Mr. Lister says, with- 

 out regard to pedigree, reveals much high-class 

 material. 



Among the bulls are Searchlight, sire of the 

 $3500 cow in the 1919 Salter sale ; Prince Pa- 

 vonia, the noted son of the noted cow imp. Glen- 

 dale Pavonia ; Golden Victor, the Baron Victor 

 show and breeding bull ; Golden Day out of imp. 

 Mistletoe and sire of the dams of International 

 prize winning steers ; Lavender Viscount, Inter- 

 national grand champion and famous sire at 

 Ravenswood; Lord Mayor, one of America's 

 greatest bulls that lived fifteen years in Kansas ; 

 Choice Goods, America's champion show bull 

 and leading sire of his day ; imp. Hospodar sold 

 to go to South America; the splendid Bellows 

 bred Valley Champion; Barmpton Knight, sire 

 of prize winners and breeding cows in great num- 

 bers ; Matchless Dale, the noted bull at the Kan- 

 sas State Agricultural College and sire of dozens 

 of America's champion steers and Cumberland 

 Type, the undefeated and sensational bull bred 

 and developed by C. A. Saunders. 



Mr. Lister's herd was founded in 1916 and the 

 first bull used was the Nevius bred Searchlight 

 Bloom, a son of Searchlight out of a dam by 

 Golden Day, (see previous mention) a sire of 

 great breeding cows in the T. P. Babst herd.
