370 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



using high-class bulls. Five years ago a pure 

 bred cow was bought from David Ballantyrie. 

 She was by CollymVs Pride, the outstanding 

 sire by imp. Collynie, out of a daughter of Royal 

 Knight, son of the famous imp. Princess Alice. 

 Later another good cow was added from a local 

 herd. The herd bull was bred by O. O. Massa 

 and is representative of Prince Pavonia 

 through one of his best cows. Rawlings Bros, 

 intend keeping a Shorthorn herd and their 

 location for the business is a most excellent one. 



L. E. Downing, Hamilton. Mr. Downing has 

 made a start in Shorthorns by buying three good 

 cows. One of them is an unusually large, ma- 

 tronly red, that if bred to a suitable bull, should 

 prove valuable. It is Mr. Downing 's intention 

 to continue in the business and to improve his 

 cattle and a young man with such an ambition 

 will succeed. He has not yet bought a bull but 

 plans to buy one for another year. 



W. E. Hogan, Madison. Mr. Hogan suc- 

 ceeded his father in 1908 and the quality of his 

 cattle that I have seen testifies to his success. 

 The cows are of good size, smooth and feminine, 

 reflecting the character of the bulls used, such 

 as Vindicator by imp. Colly nie, dam by Young 

 Abbotsburn, Snowball by Hampton Spray and 

 Red Prince by Prince Violet, dam by Godwin. 

 This is one of the oldest and best known herds 

 in northern Greenwood county.
