572 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



thick and smooth with a lot of quality and sweet 

 feminine character. Only recently, May 26, 1920, 

 one of his daughters, College Duchess 2d, sold for 

 $3900 in the Kansas Shorthorn Breeders Associ- 

 ation Sale. She sold right out of the pasture in 

 ordinary flesh. Matchless Dale, now thirteen 

 years old, is as active and vigorous as a two-year- 

 old and he still maintains that wonderfully kind 

 and gentle disposition. 



When it was necessary to have a bull to cross 

 upon the daughters of Matchless Dale, having 

 noted the splendid success attained by our fore- 

 most breeders by line breeding, the College 

 sought and found a bull rich in the blood of 

 Avondale. He is sired by Revolution by Avon- 

 dale and is out of the good show cow, Maxwalton 

 Mina 8th. She and her dam were both sired by 

 Avondale. This makes the blood of the new bull 

 Marauder, five-eights Avondale. His first crop 

 of calves now coming (1920) are an exceptionally 

 promising lot. 



Until recently only a few bulls have been sold 

 by the College but this order of things has been 

 changed, and excellent youngsters are now going 

 out to do service in Kansas herds.

 fifteen good females descended from a small 

 purchase made seven years ago. They are grow- 

 ing the young stock well and with plenty of pas- 

 ture and alfalfa will be enabled to produce size
