A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 457 



Gallant Knight, leading western sire of prize 

 winners in his day ; Victorious, famous in N". H. 

 Gentry's herd; imp. Knight Templar, by Cum- 

 berland and out of the same dam as imp. Baron 

 Victor ; Imperial Victor, the Stunkel bred son of 

 Victor Orange that sold for $2000 in the cheap 

 times ; St. Valentine, sire of the undefeated Ru- 

 berta ; Prince Royal, son of imp. Craven Knight 

 and the Peerless cow, imp. Princess Alice and 

 imp. Scottish Lord that sired B. 0. Cowan's 

 World's Fair prize winners. 



The herd bull is Victor Marshal, a Tomson 

 bred son of A 7 illage Marshal. His dam is Van- 

 ity, a cow by Archer that has been a prize 

 winner in the Tomson show herd. The rest 

 of the pedigree is as good as that given above. 

 This is one of the thickest, meatiest young bulls 

 I have seen. He is very low down and even and 

 does not fall short of best show yard standards. 

 Mr. Abraham has exhibited at fairs only once. 

 At Wichita in 1918 he sold two young bulls at 

 long prices and incidently put them in the show, 

 winning first and second in the Kansas specials 

 and second and third in the open classes. 



Among other good herds that have been found- 

 ed with cows of Mr. Abraham's breeding is that 

 of Owen Oneill of Windom and the excellence of 

 the Abraham herd is strongly reflected in the 

 Oneill cows. It is worth much to any man to be 

 able to breed and sell foundation stock for herds
