A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 495 



six-month-old lieif er calf. This young cow is only 

 twenty-six months old and both she and the calf 

 are large and exceptionally smooth. Indications 

 are that they will be very valuable. Carrie Rosa- 

 mond, two crosses from C. E. Leonard's Charm- 

 ing Rosamond, is by Senator, a bull bred at Elm- 

 endorf and sired by Marino's Champion. Her 

 dam is of the regular Leonard line of breeding. 

 Sultan's Beauty, a massive four-year-old roan, is 

 by the International grand champion, True Sul- 

 tan. This cow has an unusual spring of rib, a 

 deep body and a very thick covering of flesh and 

 is a splendid daughter of the great sire. Royal 

 Queen bred by Ewing Bros, is an elegant 1600 

 pound cow that is suckling a bull calf by that out- 

 standing sire of prize winners, Linwood Dale. 

 This calf is big and lusty but he was three and 

 one-half months old before he could take all the 

 milk his mother gave. As a typical dual-purpose 

 Shorthorn cow Royal Queen has few equals. One 

 of the elegant females on the farm is the three- 

 year-old red, Lady of Walnut Grove 2d, bred by 

 W. A. McMehon of Missouri. At least two good 

 judges have pronounced this heifer superb. Her 

 sire is by Sultan's Heir, a son of Glenbrook Sul- 

 tan. Her dam is by Prince Mistletoe, a son of 

 Mr. Hanna's Prince Royal out of Mistletoe 2d, 

 an own sister to Sweet Mistletoe, dam of two of 

 America 's most noted bulls, also to Captain Arch- 

 er, famous sire of show stock for J. F. Stodder
