A HISTORY OP SUtJRTHORNS IN KANSAS 187 



THE BREEDER'S GAZETTE 



It took forty years of Inglily eoiLstnietive service to earn 

 for the Breetler 's Gazette such affectionate pseudonyms as 

 "the ytoekmaji's Bible" and "the farmer's greatest 

 |)a[)er. " it is doubtful whether any other ayrietiltural 

 .journal is so dcepl,y esLcemed by those who read it. Cei'- 

 taiidy no otiier farm paper reaches a liigher type of rural 

 citizenry. In Fact it has been said that merely by riding 

 through the country one could invariably pick out tlie meiii- 

 bi'i-sliij) lit' tlie (jazette family. 



Wh}- .' AVell, Liecause The Breeder's Gazette presents the 

 ideals, the iris})iration and the common sense 1:hat enables 

 men to liuild such farms as stand for what is best in Amevi- 

 (.■aii agriculture. 



The Breeder's Gazette is devoted to the science am.l ari 

 i)t' farming tlie slock farm. Its editor is Alvin IT. Sanders, 

 j;'raf el'ully known to e\'i'ry .Snortlioni breeder as the 

 a.iitlior <tl " Shorthorii Cattle," the hislory of the breed in 

 America, and one of the classics of a.u'ricultural literature. 

 'fins bcok is, witlnn itself, tin; text for a Shorthnrn educa- 

 iiini sui-li as could not, otli('r\\ise, be obtained. 



1 ha\'e been a, reader of the Gazette since A|iril 1882, re- 

 cei\'ing it regularly except when too negligent to renew. 

 Xiiw after nearly forty years, I am willing to ascribe what 

 Shorthorn enthusiasm I iiossess, more largely to The 

 Breeder's Gazette than to all other influences combiiied. 

 The stand for common-sense principles and right methods 

 wliicJi the Gazette has always taken, iuAariably appeals tn 

 the judgment oi;' tlie render. All over this country are 

 found siiccostnl .Sliorthnrn !.)reeders who are children of 

 tile Gazette family. Its ini'lo.ciice is as jiotent as e\'er and 

 tlie breeders wdio do not read and prcd'it from its teachiugs 

 are few. 



If ytiu are one oi those who do not read tins \-;ilualile
