404 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



The present sire is Sunlight, used by H. S. An- 

 derson, a ton bull and a good breeder. Local de- 

 mand has taken all the bulls and for the past two 

 seasons the heifer calves have also been sold at 

 satisfactory prices. Mr. Mack is inaugurating 

 a system of culling out and improving by selec- 

 tion but the general plan outlined above will be 

 carried on. He expects to stay in the business 

 permanently. 



Arthur Steward, Mayetta. I found Mr. 

 Steward's cattle much better than he had told 

 me they were. Among the twenty cows on the 

 farm are some first-rate ones and while the 

 herd, as a whole, is not up to the high standard 

 he desires, his is one of the most hopeful cases I 

 have found. Mr. Steward says he had not been 

 using good enough bulls in the past so he. went 

 toTomson Bros, and bought one and while I did 

 not inspect the bull closely, he impressed me as 

 being one among the best I have seen recently. 

 He is a white by Village Marshal. His dam is by 

 the Harding bred Sultan's Commander by 

 Whitehall Sultan and his grandam carries a 

 strong infusion of Forbes' Baron Gloster. The 

 cows are from standard American families and 

 are nicely Scotch topped, and the calves from 

 this bull will undoubtedly prove very desir- 

 able. 



Mr. Steward has plenty of pasture and alfalfa 

 land and he is planning to cull over his females
