A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 369 



white son of the great imp. Princess Alice. Snow- 

 bird is another Hanna bred daughter of Prince 

 Royal out of a dam by Choice Prince, son of 

 Choice Goods out of a Prince of Tebo Lawn cow. 

 Perfection, a bull combining imp. Collynie, 

 Rosewood and others of Mr. Hanna 's herd is in 

 service. The Martin herd is strong in the blood 

 of some of the best stock of the state. 



Kenneth Wilson, Hamilton. That Mr. Wil- 

 son has the right ideas of Shorthorn type and the 

 best methods of handling cattle was quite appar- 

 ent during a half day spent with him in visiting 

 other herds. Mr. Wilson's cattle represent a 

 mingling of blood lines rather than the straight 

 Scotch cross and they are good, big, smooth cows 

 bred for individual merit from the best ancestry 

 but not put together in such a way as to win the 

 unqualified approval of the stickler for 

 " straight." Nevertheless, he is getting results 

 and the herd, strong in Scotch blood of the very 

 best kind, is perhaps better for a seeming disre- 

 gard of straight blood lines. As an evidence of 

 success it may be mentioned that a calf of Mr. 

 Wilson's production won first at the Greenwood 

 county fair last fall and was recently sold to W. 

 J. Brookover, an old Shorthorn breeder, for use 

 in his steer breeding operations, the final test of 

 merit in Greenwood county.
