A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 511 



bought five females and from these he expects to 

 develop his Shorthorn herd. One of his cows is 

 by Rosewood Prince, a son of Rosewood out of 

 a dam by imp. Collynie. Rosewood was by imp. 

 Inglewood, Mr. Hanna's show bull, for years 

 the record priced bull of the American Royal 

 sales, out of imp. Roseleaf by Mr. Duthie's great 

 bull, Scottish Archer. Collynie Briseis 2d, an- 

 other good cow, is by Reflection, a Collynie bull 

 out of a dam by imp. Mariner. Her dam is also 

 by Collynie. Louise, a heifer that has been a 

 local prize winner, is by Bettie's Albion, out of 

 a dam by Pride of Avondale. Oak Pearl 2d is 

 by Roan Cowslip, a son of imp. Lord Cowslip out 

 of a dam by Red Oak by Collynie out of one of 

 Mr. Hanna's Sempstress of Oakland cows. She 

 was bred by J. E. Thompson of Fredonia. A 

 daughter of Collynie Briseis 2d completes the 

 list. It will be noted that four of these cows 

 are strong in Collynie blood which is as strong a 

 foundation for a breeding herd as could be 

 found, and the fifth carries the Avondale cross. 

 The bull used is Prairie King. (See Waldo Dent 

 sketch.) 



M. A. Metzger, Council Grove. Mr. Metzger 

 bought five cows of C. H. Williams & Son and a 

 bull of Meall Bros., which insures a good foun- 

 dation. In looking over the pedigrees of the 

 cows I find in the top crosses some noted bulls. 

 Royal Gloster, a show and excellent breeding
