A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 361 



successor to Captain Archer. Then came Bap- 

 ton Lord a Forsythe bred grandson of imp. 

 Bapton Arrow, one of the great bulls of the 

 breed. Another Hanna bred bull was then used, 

 Lord Novette by imp. Collynie out of an excellent 

 cow by Lord Mayor. Next was Victory, a roan by 

 Hampton Spray, out of one of Mr. Hanna 's cows 

 by Count Violet. 



Two good bulls are now in use. One is by 

 John Regier's Dale's Emblem, a son of Double 

 Dale. His dam is by the outstanding show and 

 breeding bull, Nonpareil Star. He is siring a 

 nice lot of cattle, both bulls and heifers being of 

 splendid form and quality. The other is Master 

 Sultan, a Tomson bred son of Beaver Creek Sul- 

 tan, for which $1000 was paid recently. His dam 

 is by Barmpton Knight and, while hardly more 

 than a calf, he will bear very close inspection 

 and he should prove a highly acceptable herd 

 bull. 



Mr. Brookover is one of the most modest of 

 men and is conservative in his statements almost 

 to a fault. This is especially true when he speaks 

 of his own cattle, which buyers have learned are 

 fully as good as they have been represented. In 

 this he might well, serve as a model to all but 

 especially to young breeders, who seldom realize 

 the value of a* conservative description.

 men have about twenty females of breeding age
