A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 401 



John E. Smith, was sired by Parson's Proud 

 Duke, a son of the well known Victor Baron out 

 of a dam by Duke of Oakland. Later several 

 cows were secured from Dr. F. M. Marks of 

 Valley Falls. They were by Choice Lancaster, a

 smooth. He is by the Bellows bred, Double Dia- 

 mond, whose sire and dam were both by the 

 champion, Diamond Goods. He is out of a 

 cow by Modern Scotchman, a well known son of 

 imp. Magenta. The calves by this bull indicate

 good accommodations for cattle, plenty of en- 

 thusiasm and a well defined idea of what he 

 wants, should be a success. 



F. B. Arnold, Holton. Mr. Arnold has a very 

 creditable herd of fifteen cows and practically

 They have fair size, are straight-lined and 

 smooth and are the kind of cows that if bred to a 

 first-class big, thick bull can be depended upon 

 for satisfactory results. Among high-class bulls 

 appearing in the three top crosses are Archer 

 Boy by Ballechin Archer, a son of Ceremonious 

 Archer; Modern Scotchman by imp. Magenta, 

 dam by Victoria Baron; George Cook by My 

 Lord, dam by Lord Mayor; Rosedale by
