A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 555 



is largely representative of Victor Archer, the 

 excellent son of Archer, that in Dr. Stewart's 

 show herd made quite a reputation. A dash of 

 imp. Collynie was also secured through the use 

 of The Kaiser 577443. A son of Victor Archer 

 is in service at present. 



REPUBLIC COUNTY 



R. B. Donham, Talmo. Mr. Donham was 

 raised in a Shorthorn family in Johnson county. 

 He has a herd of twenty-five females and half of 

 them are outstanding specimens of the breed. 

 He demands that his cows be large, though not 

 extreme in size, and his system of feeding is such 

 as to produce as thick flesh and good general de- 

 velopment as is consistent with future usefulness. 

 Mr. Donham has been exhibiting at the Repub- 

 lic, Clay and Mitchell county fairs, winning num- 

 erous prizes and at each of these fairs his herd 

 bull, Victoria's Baron 2d, was made the grand 

 champion against strong competition. He has 

 been a contributor to both the Northwest Associ- 

 ation sales held at Concordia and he has held one 

 sale 011 his own account which was rated as very 

 successful. 



The help problem has been solved on this 320 

 acre farm by employing permanently a married 

 man. The farm is devoted almost exclusively to 

 pasture and the growing of alfalfa, ensilage 

 and cattle. The Shorthorn herd will be increased
