A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 527 



Wm. Cummiiigs herd, a leading herd of Illinois. 



Five of the cows on the farm are by Ingle 

 Prince, a bull of exceptional ancestry, his sire 

 having been Prince of Collynie by imp. Collynie 

 and his dam Ingle Maid, the dam of Mr. Hill's 

 Ingle Lad. It is doubtful if many bulls in Kan- 

 sas or anywhere else are so well descended. He 

 is very close to Mr. Cruickshank's best cattle and 

 his ancestry for generations were outstanding 

 individuals. The dams of these cows were by 

 Joe Pavonia, a Nevius bred son of Prince Pa- 

 vonia, a bull famous as a sire in both Kansas and 

 Oklahoma. A white bull from Tomson Bros, is 

 being used on these red cows. He is by Beaver 

 Creek Sultan and his dam is by Dale's Cumber- 

 land, a bull carrying the blood of International 

 grand champions and of many choice Short- 

 horns. He combines in the two top crosses, 

 Whitehall Sultan, Avondale and Cumberland's 

 Last, the most famous bulls of this period.

 cows; Senator Wornall's imp. Conqueror;
