428 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



from the J. C. Lorimer herd, which has been a 

 genuine source of supply for the territory 

 north of Olathe. The breeding represented 

 here is the best Bates foundation crossed with 

 good Scotch bulls and this has produced splendid 

 results. Mr. Lorimer is using Dean Lorimer 's 

 high-class bull. 



J. R. Miller, Gardner. Mr. Miller is the first 

 and only barber I have found who owns Short- 

 horns and takes an active interest in them and I 

 have been assured that he is a good Shorthorn 

 man. He bought five heifers of Barrett & Land 

 and is keeping them well and breeding to Kelly 

 Bros.' excellent bull, Lavender Stamp. This 

 system will insure better results and the buyers 

 of his output will get better cattle than if he 

 kept a bull of medium quality as many small 

 breeders do, and the cost is not greater. 



Vint Trusine, Wellsville. Mrs. Trusine is a 

 daughter of Mr. Rhoads and the small herd on 

 the Trusine farm came from her fathers. Mr. 

 Trusine intends building up a Shorthorn herd 

 and staying with the business. The cows on hand, 

 bred to the right kind of bulls, with the produce 

 properly grown out, will make a very satisfac- 

 tory foundation for the future herd. The bull in 

 use comes from John Black and is a son of 

 Hampton Serene. The location is favorable for 

 the production of Shorthorns and local market 

 conditions in the Ottawa territory are good.
