590 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



by Harriman Bros.' Proud Monarch, a son of 

 New Goods, the Choice Goods Collynie bull that 

 headed their herd at the time of its dispersion. 



Recently a new bull was bought. He is Orange 

 Baron, cut on a very generous scale, yet close 

 to the ground, with a deep, thick body. He has 

 plenty of spread but covers smoothly. His head 

 and neck are fine. He is by Orange Model by 

 Victorious and his dam is also by Victorious, 

 famous son of Lord Mayor out of a daughter of 

 imp. Baron Victor. 



H.H.Holmes,Topeka.* Mr. Holmes has been 

 well known in Kansas Shorthorn circles for ten 

 years. He lived at Great Bend until 1918 when 

 he bought and moved to the much advertised 

 Aylsdale Farm five miles southwest of Topeka. 

 He keeps his herd within the prescribed line of 

 universal approval so far as pedigree is con- 

 cerned. When he suits a prospective purchaser 

 on an animal he wants to know before the deal is 

 closed that the pedigree will suit. Most of the 

 herd descends from purchases made from W. A. 

 Betteridge and other selections come from equal- 

 ly cautious and discriminating breeders. 



The Holmes herd consists largely of Cruick- 

 shank Orange Blossoms with a few Queen of 

 Beautys and other good families. Rose Victor- 

 ious is by Victorious, known the country over as 

 a great bull and some consider him the best son
