432 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



The first sire used was Ozark Sultan. He 

 was by a son of Princely Sultan by Whitehall 

 Sultan, greatest American bull of this gener- 

 ation. The roan, Village Emblem, is now in 

 service. He is by imp. Proud Emblem Jr. whose 

 sire, Proud Emblem, is one of Great Britain's 

 most popular sires. Village Emblem's dam is 

 by the great sire, imp. Villager, out of Butter- 

 fly Maid, a daughter of Jubilee Maid. Mr. Birk- 

 enbaugh is pursuing the right course in selection 

 and in the care of his herd, which bids fair to 

 become one of the leading ones of south central 

 Kansas. 



George W. Allen, Norwich. Mr. Allen's cows 

 are of medium size and come from excellent an- 

 cestry. The young stock is well cared for and 

 with the use of good bulls a first-class herd will 

 be built up. The original purchases of cows 

 made two years ago were strong in the blood of 

 imp. Collynie and to use on these cows Mayor 

 Alcott 618504 was secured. He was by Mayor 

 Dale, a son of Maxwalton Rosedale by Avondale 

 out of the famous cow, imp. Rosewood Pride. 

 Mayor Dale 's dam was by Prime Minister of the 

 same breeding as the champion, Lavender Vis- 

 count. The bull now used is by Mr. Hanna's 

 Hampton Spray out of Golden Queen 3d, a 

 daughter of imp. Collynie and imp. Golden 

 Queen, one of the best lines of Shorthorn breed- 

 ing to be found.
