498 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



showy cow bred by G. H. Hasebrook, sired by the 

 Good Choice bull, Roan Goods, out of a dam by 

 Lavender Viscount 2d. A Tomson bred daugh- 

 ter of Archer, dam by Gallant Knight, and a 

 McDermott bred daughter of Fair Goods furnish 

 an idea of the blood lines acquired by purchase 

 in recent years and add to the attractiveness of 

 the herd. 



The bulls used have been such as to enhance 

 the value of the blood lines and conserve the high 

 standard of the cattle. Captain, a son of Col- 

 lynie out of Mr. Hanna's excellent cow Lilac, 

 (see Hanna sketch) was one of the best breeders 

 and the few heifers I have seen by him were of 

 outstanding merit. Fortune was another Col- 

 lynie bull used liberally. Royalist, a son of 

 Prince Royal, was another. Prince Royal, him- 

 self, was used for a while and Mr. Swinney also 

 used the well known Sultan Victor. A few more 

 bulls, all of like quality and breeding, have seen 

 service in the herd. 



Among the best things recently acquired are 

 five heifers bought in 1919. They are attractive 

 in appearance and their pedigrees will please. 

 With the wealth of ancestry represented, Mr. 

 Swinney will be able to attain any reasonable 

 degree of success for which he works. The cat- 

 tle sold from his herd have responded to feeding 

 and have almost invariably been a good buy for 

 the purchaser.
