A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 501 



The bull that was bought to head the herd is 

 Chanute Pride. His sire, Royal Gloster, is by 

 imp. Daydreams Pride, not only a show bull but 

 also a fine breeder. His dam is by Aberdeen, 

 practically a full brother to Mr. Hill's Ingle Lad 

 and out of Sycamore Spiraea, an 1800 pound cow 

 on grass, and own sister to Prince of Collynie, 

 one of the great bulls of the breed. Syringia, 

 dam of Sycamore Spiraea, is one of Mr. Hanna's 

 best productions. 



Watkins Bros., Cherryvale. This firm began 

 breeding Shorthorns three years ago and results 

 observed while visiting the herd prove that their 

 foundation stock was wisely selected. The top 

 crosses in the pedigrees show an infusion of 

 blood from such well known bulls as Silvermine, 

 Collynie, St. Valentine 12th, Scotland's Charm, 

 Fortune, Searchlight, imp. Prince Lovely, Sul- 

 tan Victor, Good Choice and Best of Goods. This 

 should furnish a most satisfactory foundation 

 for the practical man but this is only half the 

 herd. 



The other half, doubtless the more important, 

 is a white bull by True Sultan, International 

 prize winning son of Whitehall Marshall, Inter- 

 national grand champion and one of the best sons 

 of Whitehall Sultan. This young bull is a big, 

 beefy fellow by virtue of inheritance. His dam 

 was Ingle's Secret by Ingle Lad. Ingle's Secret 

 as a six-month-old calf weighed about 600 pounds
