354 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



The bull now in service was bred by H. H. 

 Holmes. He is a roan son of Prince Valentine 

 4th, a successful show and breeding bull used by 

 C. S. Nevius, Tomson Bros., H. H. Holmes and 

 A. L. Harris. His dam is by Captain Archer, 

 noted sire of show stuff in J. F. Stodder's herd. 

 The calves sired by this bull have size, depth and 

 thickness with nice finish and if they mature as 

 they promise, they will make the right kind of 

 Shorthorns. Mr. Lister's operations, covering a 

 period of only three years, show that if a man 

 really knows good cattle and will give them the 

 right kind of care, he can be successful from the 

 start without special Shorthorn knowledge. 



A. L. Johnston, Ottawa. Mr. Johnston is pres- 

 ident of the Eastern Kansas Shorthorn Breeders 

 Association and of the Duroc- Jersey Association 

 of the Ottawa territory. He is nicely located 

 near town and has a number of high-class Short- 

 horns and his herd should become one among the 

 best in the state. About two years ago the first 

 purchase of extra good stock was made when he 

 secured among others Rosewood Cathay by the 

 $6100 Missie's Last, and this cow produced in 

 1919 an elegant roan heifer calf by imp. Bapton 

 Corporal. Another valuable purchase was Em- 

 blem's Butterfly by imp. Proud Emblem Jr. that 

 now has a calf by imp. British Emblem. This 

 cow carries right at the top of her pedigree such 

 sires as Fair Knight 2d, Choice Goods and Mr.
