358 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



located to produce stock, having limestone pas- 

 ture and alfalfa land and with such facilities and 

 a previous successful experience in raising 

 market topping grades, he should have no diffi- 

 culty in building up a good pure bred herd. The 

 bull in use, not yet two years old, is a very large 

 one, pleasing in general appearance, but possibly 

 a little lacking in depth and thickness for best 

 results, although the small calves by him looked 

 quite promising. 



T. C. Brown & Bro., Ottawa. The Browns, 

 old breeders of Franklin county, have a herd of 

 useful cattle of very nice breeding. They have 

 not been developing to the point required for 

 best results and the produce has been sold locally 

 at moderate prices. Like many others who have 

 followed this plan, the Browns think of putting 

 more into their Shorthorns and when they do, 

 their herd will become a strong factor in local 

 cattle improvement. 



Floyd Carter, Rantoul. Mr. Carter has been 

 breeding grade Shorthorns ever since he began 

 raising cattle. Three years ago he bought a few 

 cows from the well known McEchron herd at 

 Richmond and a bull from Henry Sobba of An- 

 derson county and he is now building up a pure 

 bred herd. He is favorably located where Short- 

 horns are popular and he should succeed for 

 with good management success is certain in such 

 communities.
