A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 475 



this quality as well as his power of transmission. 

 His sire is Searchlight, one of the most popular 

 of Kansas bulls. His dam is by Choice Goods, 

 one of the greatest show and breeding bulls of 

 America. His second dam is by imp. Lavender 

 Lad and his third dam by Golden Rule. Laven- 

 der Search did four years service in Fred Wal- 

 ton's excellent herd. 



Luther Elmquist, Lindsborg. Mr. Elmquist 

 is comparatively a new man in the Shorthorn 

 business. He bought a few cows of Peterson 

 Bros, and of other local breeders, on which he 

 used a Tomson bred bull with good results. He 

 is now using a thick, short-legged bull by Orange 

 Lovell, a son of Henry Stunkel's Victor Orange, 

 one of the best southwestern bulls of his day. 

 His dam is by Valiant 346162, whose sire, St. 

 Clair, was by imp. Crescent Knight. 



Mr. Elmquist impressed me as a man of quick 

 apprehension, with a realization of the need of. 

 good cattle on the farms in his locality. He holds 

 sound views on live stock management and com- 

 prehends what many men fail to see, that one 

 can not expect cattle to grow without sufficient 

 feed to produce growth. He is enthusiastic 

 about Shorthorns and understands that the bull 

 is half the herd. He is situated so as to carry out 

 a liberal policy in the care and management of 

 his cattle and satisfactory returns may be ex- 

 pected from the cows he has selected.
