606 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



son of imp. Consuelo 2d, out of a daughter of 

 imp. Magenta. The bull used longest and the 

 one that had the most beneficial effect on the 

 herd was Orange Goods 370667. He was a 

 handsome, finely finished red bred by E. L. 

 Stunkel. He was by Star Goods, the popular 

 Stunkel sire, a son of Good Choice and own 

 brother to the champion, Diamond Goods. His 

 dam was a daughter of Victor Orange, regarded 

 all over southern Kansas as one of the best breed- 

 ing bulls of his day. That Orange Goods, com- 

 bining as he did the blood of the noted sires, be- 

 came an outstanding breeding bull is not sur- 

 prising. The Murphy herd is largely of the 

 same blood lines as the Stunkel herd. 



A. M. Reece, Oxford. This herd of twenty fe- 

 males was established in 1912 by the purchase of 

 two heifers in calf to Silvermine, the well known 

 bull -used by J. F. Stodder and later by Marshall 

 Bros. The cows are of good type and good 

 size. Among the excellent females of the herd 

 is Quintella by Silvermine, dam by Captain 

 Archer. This should insure size and quality as 

 well as good production. Silver and Silverine, 

 both reds, are by Royal Archer 2d, a son of Aber- 

 deen, practically a full brother to Ingle Lad. 

 Royal Archer's dam was Syringia, one of the 

 best cows of her day in Kansas. Silverside is a 

 six-year-old roan daughter of Silvermine out of 

 Silverine, mentioned above.
