A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 463 



of the best of the well known Duncan breeding 

 and is an unusually thick, smooth individual 

 with a pedigree that would please the most crit- 

 ical. Coupled with the strong, rugged cows 

 raised in this good cattle country, this bull of 

 almost unrelated blood should get results of a 

 most satisfactory kind. 



E. C. Schafer, Marion.* Mr. Schafer has 

 been breeding Shorthorns for twelve years, hav- 

 ing bought his start from H. S. Martin. This 

 purchase included two cows from which the herd 

 is largely descended. Lady Fogathorpe 48th, a 

 Bates cow of B. B. & H. T. Groom's breeding 

 was by Scotch Duke, a Stodder bred son of 

 Gwendoline's Prince, out of a dam by Mr. 

 Vaile's well known Winsome Duke llth. The 

 other cow was by Duke of Evergreen 8th, a 

 son of Glen Aberdeen 128626 out of imp. Glen 

 Ythan 4th. These Scotch crossed Bates cows 

 have always been reliable material for a founda- 

 tion and they have proved to be so for Mr. 

 Schafer. 



Desirable bulls have been used and the condi- 

 tions for general development are favorable. One 

 of the best bulls that did service in the herd was 

 Comet, a son of Double Champion, the well 

 known son of Choice Goods and Russella, dam of 

 the undefeated Ruberta. Comet's dam was by 

 Liberty Boy bred by Senator Wornall and sired 



One mile from Canada station on Santa Fe.
