 Short] lorn type and charaetcr. 



I glanced over the pedigrees of Mi'. Lovett's 

 cattle and found a v»realth of Shorthorn excel- 

 lence near the top. Whitehall Sultan, Gaveston 

 C<dlynie, imp. Salamis, Victor Orange, Non- 

 pareil Victor, Ch(.)ice Goods, Silk Goods, imp. 

 Inglewood, March Knight, Spartan Hero, Prince 

 j^avonia, Searchlight, Lavender Viscount and 

 Baron Lavender 2d give an idea of the breeding 

 of the herd. Among the choice cows are Long- 

 bi'anch Qiu/en whose name indicates her origin, 

 Scotch Lady ])y B.oyal Sultan 380246 out of 

 Scotch Mysie 7tli 141050 and Lady Wharton of 

 M. H. Lyon's l)reeding. 



Mv. Lovett's method of handling is in keeping 

 with tlie general character of the herd and its 

 owner. Constant growth is the desired object. 

 While good blood lines do iiot always insure good 

 cattle, yet Mr. Lovett has met the final test. His 

 herd is not large, numl)ei-ing only thirty head l)ut 

 from this little herd he made showings at Eureka, 

 Fredonia and lola in 1919, wimiing every first in 

 each class excex:)t two at these three fairs. In 1920 

 a larger showing was made with even greater suc- 

 cess. Three head wei'e sIkjwu at Topeka and all 

 were well in the money, his two-year-old heifer 

 having stood third in (jpen class.
