A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 533 



Kansas. Mr. Pollard is a near neighbor of 

 J. G. Tomson and is one of numerous breeders 

 in his vicinity. 



V. O. Simpson, Scranton. Mr. Simpson's fe- 

 male purchases came from the Babst herd and 

 are proving very useful. They were sired by 

 Donald, a Tomson bred son of St. Clair, and rep- 

 resent the same breeding that produced New 

 Year's Delight and Daisy Queen, two noted 

 champions at America's biggest shows. (See 

 Tomson sketch.) The herd bull is typical of tle 

 choice breeding from the well known C. E. Leo- 

 nard herd. The calves produced will carry in 

 the two top crosses the blood of Barmpton 

 Knight, one of the best bulls ever owned in 

 Kansas and that of Eosedale's Choice, the son of 

 Choice Goods and the famous cow, Kosedale 

 Violet 9th, dam of four calves sold for $6000 in 

 the time of low prices. 



C. L. Troudner, Carbondale. Among the good 

 things in this nicely bred herd are a lot of heifers 

 by Dale's Cumberland and others strong in the 

 blood of Barmpton Knight through one of his 

 best sons. Both these bulls are well known as 

 typical of the best in Shorthorns and the heifers 

 CMII not but prove valuable. The herd bull comes 

 from Tomson Bros, and represents their breed- 

 ing for several generations. He is by Beaver 

 Creek Sultan, the massive grandson of White- 

 hall Sultan that did service in the Tomson herd
