A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 599 



Star Goods was a Bellows Bros, production. 

 His sire was Good Choice by Choice Goods out of 

 Silene 2d by a son of imp. Burgomaster. His 

 dam was by Victorallan, a sire of many of the 

 breeding cows in the Bellows herd. He was a 

 bull of more finish than Victor Orange and his 

 daughters were perhaps more pleasing in ap- 

 pearance than were the Victor Orange cows, but 

 the general opinion of old breeders seems to 

 favor the Victor Orange cows. The Star Goods 

 cows out of Victor Orange dams have, however, 

 proved good producers and would be valuable 

 breeding cows in any herd. 



Cumberland Diamond, the last of the quartette 

 of bulls that have made this herd, is a massive 

 white. Bred to the herd of nearly all red cows 

 he has almost invariably sired nicely colored 

 roan calves. His heifers are especially pleasing. 

 They are very feminine in appearance, are of 

 good size, straight lined, and look like real breed- 

 ing prospects and a man starting out with a lot 

 of Cumberland Diamond heifers backed by 

 Star Goods, Victor Orange and Knight of Mead- 

 ow Farm 3d on the dam's side would have some- 

 thing of which to be proud. Cumberland Dia- 

 mond is by Cumberland Chief, a son of Cumber- 

 land's Last out of Hampton's Lovely by Hamp- 

 ton's Best. His dam is also by Cumberland Chief. 

 His second dam is by Banker's Victor, one of the 

 best breeding bulls ever used in C. C. Norton's
