A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 565 



is a correct Shorthorn type, very straight with a 

 big body, fine head and neck and a disposition to 

 do well on pasture seldom found in a bull of his 

 age. His sire is by Star Goods, full brother to 

 Diamond Goods and out of a cow by Victor Or- 

 ange, probably Henry Stunkel's best bull. The 

 young bull is out of a cow by Buccaneer, a son of 

 imp. Collynie out of a daughter of imp. Mariner 

 and his graiidam is by Scottish Prince, a son of 

 imp. Lord Cowslip out of Red Queen by imp. 

 Scotchman. Mr. Leclerc is located near a splen- 

 did cattle country where cattle of the right kind 

 are appreciated and he should have no trouble in 

 disposing of his surplus. He is proving that a 

 young man can successfully grow a Shorthorn 

 herd from one cow and his method should be 

 followed by others. 



Rousseau Smith & Son, Lyons.* We have 

 here a striking illustration of the value of one 

 cow. Eight years ago Mr. Smith bought a big 

 red cow, Peerless, by Liberty Boy, a son of the 

 champion, Viscount of Anoka. Her dam was by 

 the Gentry bred Peris Victorious by Victorious. 

 Prom this cow he has about twenty females, 

 among them ten breeding cows of splendid Short- 

 horn type with size and fleshing quality, and all 

 of them prolific and suckling their calves abun- 

 dantly. He has probably sold enough in these 

 years to pay the keep of the herd.
