A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 359 



GEARY COUNTY 



George J. Caspar, Alida.* Five years ago 

 Mr. Caspar bought Ms start in Shorthorns from 

 H. H. Holmes and he acted wisely in buying good 

 cows from good ancestry. Eiverside Lady is by 

 Clipper Model (see Holmes sketch) and out of 

 a dam by Captain Archer, own brother to Sweet 

 Mistletoe, dam of the International grand cham- 

 pion in 1919. Lena Lady came from G. H. White 

 and is by Hampton's Counsellor by Hampton's 

 Best, a son of imp. Merry Hampton and a sire 

 of outstanding merit. Her dam is by the Duthie 

 bred imp. Lavender Champion. Rose Victorious 

 is by Victorious, famous sire in N. H. Gentry's 

 herd, a son of Lord Mayor out of a dam by imp. 

 Baron- Victor. (See Holmes sketch.) The bull 

 used is Silver Stamp by Viscount Stamp 2d out 

 of Hallwood Golden Drop. It is only necessary 

 to state that this bull combines the blood of the 

 best Shorthorns from the Ravenswood herd and 

 from Ed Hall's herd. Such a selection of foun- 

 dation stock should, with the good feed and care 

 being given the cattle, put Mr. Caspar in line 

 with the best breeders of his section or any other. 



GREENWOOD COUNTY 



H. G. Brookover, Eureka. Mr. Brookover 

 has the oldest herd in Greenwood county, the 



Telephone, Upland.
