A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 451 



herd, on aged bull, on aged cow and on senior 

 heifer calf and second on junior heifer calf. They 

 also received the $25 bull championship offered 

 by the American Shorthorn Breeders Associ- 

 ation. An addition was made to the herd in 1919 

 by the purchase of two high-class females 

 and the work of improvement is going steadily 

 forward. 



Among the best cows on the farm is Brides- 

 maid 2d by Gallant Knight's Heir, the son of 

 Gallant Knight kept by Tomson Bros, for show 

 and breeding. Her dam is by a Norton bred son of 

 Banker's Victor. Gloster's Girl, a five-year-old 

 red, is by Mutineer's Last, a son of imp. Mutin- 

 eer and out of Duchess of Gloster 29th by Royal 

 Marshal, one of the good sons of Whitehall Sul- 

 tan. Victoria Girl, another excellent young cow, 

 is by Count Commodore, a nicely bred bull from 

 the Cookscn herd and her dam comes from H. C. 

 Duncan and was by his favorably known Head- 

 light. Nonpareil Maid 2d is a Kansas bred 

 daughter of Maxwalton Rosedale, the Avondale 

 bull used so successfully by Tomson Bros, and 

 the Pringles. Maxwalton Rosedale enjoys the 

 distinction of being own brother to Whitehall 

 Rosedale, for two years grand champion almost 

 everywhere west of the Mississippi. The win- 

 nings of this herd indicate with assurance that 

 there are some real Shorthorns here and the cows 

 show excellent ancestry.
