and some proposed changes in handling, an ex-

J. F. Birkenbaugh, Basil.* Though founded 

 in 1916 and now consisting of only twelve fe- 

 males, this herd is worthy of much consideration. 

 The cows are medium to large and the young 

 stock is fed for splendid development. The an- 

 cestry of the foundation cows was of the better 

 class and the bulls used should insure constant 

 improvement, Lady Barmpton is by Satin 

 Royal, a son of Captain Archer, own brother to 

 Sweet Mistletoe, dam of Lespedeza Collynie, 

 1919 International grand champion. Satin 

 Royal's dam was Mr. Stodder's famous show 

 cow, Innocence, by imp. Bapton Arrow, one of 

 the best bulls in the West, making him a full 

 brother to Crystal Maid, leading Kansas show 

 cow for three years. Silver Beauty comes from 

 Mr. Stodder and is by Silvermine, a bull known 

 all over southern Kansas for the excellence of his 

 get and his wealth of good ancestry. Silver 

 Beauty's dam is by Prince Pavonia, one of the 

 state's best bulls. Secret Thought is by Banff 

 Boy, a grandson of imp. Lord Banff, leading 

 show bull in America and the first Scotch bull to 

 sell for more than $5000. Pollyanna is the daugh- 

 ter of Choice Archer, a son of Captain Archer 

 (see above) out of a granddaughter of Choice 

 Goods, American champion for three years.
