518 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



one of Mr. McCoy's best cows, which is equiva- 

 lent to saying- that his dam is one of the best cows 

 in Kansas. There is little chance of any man's 

 making a mistake in buying such a bull. 



Sam'l C. Jackson, Sabetha. This is another 

 case of increasing land prices bringing about the 

 necessity for better cattle and Mr. Jackson is 

 supplanting the grade with the pure bred. He 

 has five cows of acceptable breeding and they are 

 satisfactory producers. While lacking somewhat 

 in uniformity, mating with a good bull will cor- 

 rect this irregularity. Among the sires of these 

 cows is Wodan, a son of Nonpareil Star and one 

 of the best bulls that went out from John Re- 

 gier's herd. Another is by Rock Springs Pride, 

 the excellent McCoy bred son of Pride of Col- 

 lynie. Royal Hero by Secret Prince 206457, a 

 son of imp. Strawberry, is the sire of another. 

 Prince of Tebo Lawn and Choice Goods enter 

 largely into the pedigrees of these cows. Mr. 

 Jackson is a good feeder. He has access to sev- 

 eral bulls in his community, which will 

 enable him to soon own a herd of the desired 

 quality, backed by some of the choicest ancestry 

 found in western Shorthorns. This is what con- 

 stitutes real worth in all pure bred cattle. 



L. V. Sanford, Sabetha.* Mr. Sanford has a 

 herd of twenty-five females, all of which were 

 bred on the farm. They range in size from 



Telephone and station, Oiieida.
