500 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



beef and milk. A recent and valuable addition 

 is a young cow of Mrs. Grace Blake's 

 breeding, sired by Lavender Lord. Shortly after 

 Mr. Frye had purchased this heifer she gave 

 birth to a first-class heifer calf by imp. Bapton 

 Corporal. A Bellows bred bull has been used for 

 several years and, being desirous of continuing 

 the building of a high-class herd, Mr. Frye is 

 on the lookout for a good tried sire which will 

 be all that is needed in his operations. 



P. P. Asher & Son, Independence. The Asher 

 farm is favorably located for the production of 

 cattle. In initial purchases made at the Cof f ey- 

 ville sale in April 1919 the Ashers showed un- 

 usual discrimination and as a result they have 

 a small herd that would attract attention any- 

 where. They further showed their judgment and 

 enterprise by sending females to Sycamore 

 Springs to be bred to Master of the Dales. Their 

 purchases included the good young cow, May 

 Rose by the splendid show and breeding bull, 

 Lord Mayor 3d, with bull calf at foot by Secret 

 Eobin, the bull bought by Miss Stanley of An- 

 thony to head her high priced herd. The dam of 

 May Rose is by Secret Archer, sire of J. F. Stod- 

 der 's cows, that bred to Captain Archer produced 

 his show cattle. Another is Belle of Havana 4th, 

 by a son of Captain Archer, full brother to Sweet 

 Mistletoe, dam of Lespedeza Collynie, grand 

 champion at the International in 1919.
