476 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



Carl Johnson, Inman.* In Mr. Johnson's 

 herd there is a promising heifer a little more 

 than a year old. She is by the excellent Cumber- 

 land bull, Marquis Cumberland. (See Willis 

 Colman sketch.) As though it were a matter of 

 small importance Mr. Johnson told me that she 

 had stood third or fourth at the Kansas State 

 Fair last fall. From what I have seen of the 

 Marquis Cumberland stock, I should think this 

 heifer would make an extra good one. The bull 

 in use is by Victor Archer, that made a reputa- 

 tion for Dr. Stewart. Mr. Johnson intends to 

 build up a first-class herd and he has the facil- 

 ities for doing so. 



Anton Peterson, Lindsborg. Mr. Peterson is 

 the successor of Ingwert Peterson and of Peter- 

 son Bros. He has twenty good cows and their 

 calves. These cows are nearly all the tops of 

 the Peterson Bros, herd and they have plenty 

 of size. They are descended from a line of 

 bulls beginning with such sires as Col. Harris' 

 Golden Knight, Geo. BothwelPs Grand Victor, 

 imp. Thistletop and imp. Collynie, all animals 

 of national reputation. The use of good bulls 

 on this foundation has given satisfactory results. 

 Mr. Peterson is looking for a high-class bull 

 and with the herd reduced in size he is planning 

 to give his cattle such attention as will develop
