A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 607 



The two bulls prominent in this herd are Sil- 

 vermine and Captain Archer bred directly from 

 the best importation of Duthie and Marr bred 

 Shorthorns. Other bulls used were Marshall's 

 Best by a Hanria bred son of imp. Lord Cowslip ; 

 Silver Heel by Silvermine and Diamond Major, 

 present herd bull, by Cumberland Diamond. 

 The dam of Diamond Major represents the 

 Stuiikel Star Goods and Victor Orange crosses. 

 The lines of sires and dams below this come from 

 the most noted breeders of their day and the bull 

 is worthy of his ancestry. 



Mr. Reece has shown locally with fine suc- 

 cess and is a contributor to the Sumner county 

 breeders sales. 



L. E. Wooderson, Caldwell. Mr. Wooderson 

 is among the best known breeders in this terri- 

 tory. His herd which consists of twenty smooth 

 females has not been so well developed in size as 

 the best interests of the establishment may have 

 demanded but facilities for handling the stock 

 have been improved and the younger animals 

 have been well grown out. The cows are nearly 

 all bred along very popular lines and only choice- 

 ly bred bulls have been used so that the Wooder- 

 son cattle usually find no objectors on account of 

 pedigree. 



Golden Gloster was bred by F. M. Hackler. He 

 was a son of imp. Daydreams Pride, the sire of 

 numerous herd bulls used in eastern Kansas
