A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 379 



headed Harriman Bros. ' herd at the time of its 

 dispersion. His dam is by Nonpareil Star, a son 

 of imp. Nonpareil Victor, famous as a sire of 

 show stock in George Both well's herd and out of 

 a cow by the well known Chief Violet 4th. This 

 is a tried sire of merit and a good individual. 

 Mated with Mr. Cox's cows, and with' the off- 

 spring given the generous treatment he is said 

 to give his cattle, we may expect to see some 

 valuable Shorthorns on this farm. 



R. H. Cunningham, Harper. Not all has been 

 smooth sailing with Mr. Cunningham since he 

 embarked in the cattle business but he has some- 

 thing to show for his work and he is sticking to 

 it. It has been his plan to buy a few more fe- 

 males and to build up as good a herd as he is 

 capable of making. His location is very favor- 

 able for best results in cattle growing. 



The stock on hand at the time of my visit was 

 good. Silver Belle is by a son of Tomson's great 

 sire, Barmpton Knight, out of a cow by the 

 Bellows bred Hampton's Crown by Hampton's 

 Best. Her dam is representative of imp. Ingle- 

 wood that for years was the highest priced' bull 

 sold at an American Royal sale, and of Prince 

 Pavonia. One of the best things is a heifer by 

 Master Pavonia, (see John B. Potter sketch) 

 dam by Joe's Lord, a son of Lord Mayor out of 

 an imp. Thistletop dam. 



The herd bull is Secret Prince, bred by H. M.
