A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 381 



A big, straight-lined, massive bull is in service, 

 Butterfly Sultan 300788. He is by Baron Sul- 

 tan, a son of Whitehall Sultan out of Athene of 

 Rosedale by Victoria's Count. His dam is by 

 Victoria of Evergreen Park 5th 184632 and his 

 second dam is by the C. C. Norton bred Chief 

 Lavender 139145. Alfalfa and ensilage are avail- 

 able and Mr. Nye should become a successful 

 breeder. 



Walter Simonson, Anthony. Mr. Simonson 

 has been handling cattle on a large scale and 

 some years ago he bought a few Shorthorn cows 

 which have been kept with satisfactory results. 

 I found here some very good cows and the herd, 

 as a whole, is a fairly good one. It is the plan 

 to let the pure breds increase with a view of 

 gradually closing out the grades. 



Among the best cows on the farm is one by 

 Victor Archer out of a dam by Mr. Stodder's 

 Geo. Archer, a son of Captain Archer. Her dam 

 is by Sempstress Valentine, a son of St. Valen- 

 tine. Another Victor Archer cow is Silver 

 Girl 5th. Her dam is by imp. Aylesbury Duke. 

 Beauty Belle 3d, bought at one of the recent 

 Salter sales, sired by Rosewood, the splendid son 

 of imp. Inglewood and imp. Roseleaf by Scottish 

 Archer, has a bull calf by Sultan's Last by 

 Whitehall Sultan. 



Mr. Simonson is using a bull bred by Mitchell 

 Bros., Ontario, Canada. His sire is imp. Lochiel
