A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 531 



both well known in the C. F. Wolf & Son herd 

 and Norfolk, famous sire for B. O. Cowan and 

 grandsire of New Year's Delight, American 

 Eoyal grand champion. The bull recently in 

 service came from C. S. Nevius and the one now 

 in use was bred by E. S. Myers, both represent- 

 ing the best of the herds from which they came. 

 Mr. Gray keeps his cattle in thrifty condition 

 through common sense methods, such as any 

 careful farmer can practice. 



C. E. McFerren, Quenemo. Mr. McFerren 

 made a start in 1919 with four heifers. Among 

 them is a two-year-old that is a rarely good 

 individual and her calf indicates that she will be 

 a valuable- breeding cow. These heifers descend 

 from a line of bulls strong in best Scotch blood 

 and they reflect credit on their breeder and their 

 owner. Mr. McFerren has a half interest with 

 Mr. Schoepf lin in the splendid bull, Victor Sul- 

 tan, recently purchased from Tomson Bros., an 

 unusually attractive young fellow of the right- 

 type. He is by Beaver Creek Sultan and his 

 dam is one of the desirable cows in the Tomson 

 herd. Coupled with the choicely bred females 

 we may reasonably look for unusual results. Mr. 

 McFerren's heifers .came from the H. C. Ste- 

 phenson herd in Chase county and are of the 

 same lot as those purchased by Mr. Schoepflin 

 and Mr. Sayre. How much better for the begin- 

 ner to buy the right kind as Mr. McFerren did
