464 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



by Viscount of Anoka, the outstanding show bull 

 of his day. Scotty, bred by Ballantynes, was also 

 a good sire. Golden Crown, bred by H. C. Steph- 

 enson of Chase county, was the son of Hampton's 

 Crown by Hampton's Best and Golden Crown's 

 dam was by Rosemary Victor 12th, a Geo. Both- 

 well bred son of Grand Victor. 



The present herd bull is named Albert. He 

 comes from John Regier's and like all Mr. Re- 

 gier's output is very desirably bred and of good 

 size and quality. His sire is Dale's Emblem by 

 Double Dale out of a dam by Snowflake, the sire 

 of Ringmaster. Albert's dam was also bred by 

 Mr. Regier and is by Nonpareil Star, a prize 

 winning son of imp. Nonpareil Victor, a bull 

 with few equals as a sire in America. Albert had 

 been used locally for several years and Mr. 

 Schaf er bought him on account of his real worth. 

 General improvements both in management and 

 in additions to the herd have been planned. 



F. N. Funk, Canada.* Mr. Funk's herd con- 

 sists of five females bought from H. C. Stephen- 

 son and he will raise his cattle from these and 

 from others which he intends to buy. The Ste- 

 phenson herd was an excellent one and these 

 cows are no exception. In looking over their 

 pedigrees I found the source of their wealth re- 

 vealed in the top crosses, through such bulls as 



* Telephone, Marion or Hillsboro. Ship on Santa Fe or Rock 

 Island.
