A HI8T0KY OF SI lOItTHdRXS IN KANSAS 415 



Roan Lord sold fur $10000 at the Gillespie dis- 

 persidu and was considered by many the most 

 valual)le l)ull in the sale. He is by the noted Car- 

 penter & Ross sire, Maxwalton Revolution and 

 out ot Maxwalton Roan Lady, the ^Tcatcst cow 

 of her day in America. I saw this year- 

 ling' l)ull as a ten-month-old calf. He was 

 very massive and though not at all in high 

 flesh he weighed 814 pounds and impressed me 

 as one of the very ]_>est herd ))ull prospects I have 

 seen. As much as a bidl calf could suggest resem- 

 l_)lance to a cow, he recalls Maxwalton Roan 

 Lady with her almost incompai-able wealth of 

 real meat and fine finish. It seems safe to pre- 

 dict that this young fellow, having his great an- 

 cestry and his individual merit, could hardly fail 

 t(_) l)ecome a good sire. 



Frank X. Kelly, Gardner.* — Mr. Kelly suc- 

 <-eeded Kell\' Bi'os. and is one of the best known 

 l)reeder'S in eastern Kansas. It is his aim to work 

 a constant improvement and lie is i-ajhdly get- 

 ting togethei' a Shorthorn herd worthy of his 

 l)est efforts. The first pul)li(- sale was held at 

 Ottawa June 6, 1919 when fifty head sold at an 

 average of al)out $:>00. A n<_ital)le feature of this 

 sale was the very li1)eral suji^tort given l)v tlie 

 Johnson county neighborhood. 



In general the original purchase of females 

 did not differ materially from those found in 



Tliree-qiiarters mile west of Clare station on Santa Fe.
