A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 439 



G. W. Massa, Edna. Like a number of others 

 in Labette county, Mr. Massa uses a few regis- 

 tered Shorthorns as milk cows, giving the calves 

 good care and selling them for breeding pur- 

 poses. By this means he is enabled to get mucH 

 greater net returns than from cows of any other 

 breed. I saw an excellent individual of very 

 pleasing appearance in his pasture, a real dual- 

 purpose cow, the type of the future for the small 

 farm. 



A. H. Neville, Valeda. Mr. Neville has a 

 small herd, the foundation of which was pur- 

 chased locally and which, like others in the vicin- 

 ity, represents a useful type of farm cattle. As 

 these cows are almost invariably good milkers, 

 they solve the question of making cattle pay un- 

 der the more costly conditions now met on the 

 small farm. Mr. Neville is using a bull from the 

 Nevius herd, typical in character and breeding 

 of that establishment. 



W. J. Walker, Altamont. Mr. Walker is one 

 of F. B. Campbell's neighbors. He bought a cow 

 a few years ago and now has several very credit- 

 able Shorthorns. His bull, purchased from Fred 

 Cowley, comes through such ancestry as Ingle 

 Lad Jr., a son of Sweet Mistletoe, famous as 

 the dam of the 1919 International grand cham- 

 pion. The dam of Mr. Walker's bull is by Secret 

 Archer, one of the noted Kansas sires of his 

 day.
