A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 371 



HARPER COTNTY 



D. Wohlschlegel & Sons, Harper. — From high 

 grades to pure hreds is onl>- a step but a very 

 logical oue to take ou $100 an acre land and the 

 men who take such a step almost invariably put

 Beaver Creek Sultan. The dam of Lady Violet 

 2d was by Barm2:)ton Sultan 8d by deo. Allen's 

 Victor Sultan, a son of Whitehall Sultan. Prior 

 to this they had bought Stamford Bess, a Can-

 Star 611569 out 'of Lovelace 6th by Scottish 

 Beau. These are all cows of great excellence and, 

 added to several very good ones already on the 

 farm, give a working herd that will be recognized 

 in the future. One of the cows on hand from 

 the earliest purchase is Clear Echo, a white by 

 Scotch Laddie, a son of the fine sire. Prince Val-
