A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 539 



was bred by Wm. Wales, some of the cows having 

 been by the Tomsoii bred Scottish Knight. The 

 bull is use is Spicy Dale 755076 by Maxwalton 

 Rosedale, the son of Avondale used so success- 

 fully by Tomsoii Bros, and Andrew Pringle. 

 Like many other small breeders, Mr. Johnson, 

 with plenty of enterprise, good feeding and good 

 breeding can make his herd occupy a command- 

 ing position and he seems to have the ability to 

 do the work. 



R. R. Walker & Sons, Osborne. It is the in- 

 tention of the owners to establish a great Short- 

 horn herd and as far as can be seen everything is 

 in their favor. Pasture, water, buildings and 

 silos as well as location furnish the prime requi- 

 sites of success. The herd is not yet large but it 

 is being maintained in good breeding condition. 

 The bull in use is Knight of Elm Lawn, a two- 

 year-old bred by Wales & Young. He is by Vil- 

 lage Knight. (See Wales & Young sketch.) His 

 dam- is Ethel 3d 214199. The cows come from 

 such herds as that of L. M. Noffsinger 

 and with the use of high-class sires and attention 

 to detail the Walkers will succeed in realizing 

 their ambition.
