The brill in serviee is Village Master, selected 

 by one of the best judges in Kansas for use in 

 this licrd. lie ^vas bred by J. F. Prather of Illi- 

 nois and his sir(,' is Mr. Prather's herd bull, Sil- 

 A'cr Knight, a bull that st<.)od high in his class 

 at the International. The dam of Village Master 

 is by Matchless Robin by the great Forbes bull, 

 imp. Cock Ii(_)ljin, out of a cow by Baron Gloster, 

 second dam b\' the well known Fearless Archer. 

 It is i»utting it mildly t(j say that I liked this big, 

 beefy, two-year-old liull. He is an animal of the 

 type that will give the maximum returns for the 

 feed consumed. Fle stands close to the ground, 

 his proportions of length and depth are right, he 

 has an elega]it ]>ull head and neck and carries a 

 wealth of natural flesh beyond that usually 

 found in. good bulls. I saw ten of his calves and 

 from them puid^ed out tlnee that would be real 

 show proSi)ects anj'whei'C. Village Master has 

 Ijeen sJi-nvn tvvi>;_'e at the Greenwo(jd county fair, 

 winning first place each year. He also won the 

 American Shorthorii Association championship 

 in 1919 and ]9li0, and he w<juld be a strong bull 

 in larger shown^.
