4;^S A IIISTOKY OF ,SiI(.)in'II()RNS IN KANSAS 



from the J. C. Lorimcr herd, which has been a 

 genuine soui-ce of ,su]»ply for the territory 

 iiortli of Olathe. The breeding- rcpi'eseiited 

 here is the ])est Bates foundation crossed with 

 good Scotch bnlls and this lias j^roduced splendid 

 results. Ml'. Lorinier is using Dean Lorimer's 

 liigh-class bull. 



J. R. Miller, Gardner. — Mr. Miller is the first 

 and f)nly barber I have found who owns Short- 

 hoi'us and takes an active interest in them and I 

 have been assured that he is a good Shorthorn 

 man. He boiight five heifers of Barrett & Land 

 and is keeping thein well and })recding to Kelly 

 Bros.' excellent bull, Lavender Stamp. This 

 system will insui'e better results and the buyers 

 of his outj^ut will get better cattle than if he 

 kept a bull of medium quality as many small 

 breeders do, and the cost is not greater. 



Vint Trusine, Wellsville. — Mrs. Trusine is a 

 daughter of Mr. Rhoads and the small herd on 

 the Trusine farm came from her fathers. Mr. 

 Trusine intends building up a Shorthorn herd 

 and staying with the business. The cows on hand, 

 bred to the I'ight kind of bulls, Avith the produce 

 ])roi)ei-ly grown out, will make a very satisfac- 

 tory foundation for the future herd. The bull in 

 use conies from .folin IJlack and is a son of 

 Hampton Sei'cne. The location is favorable for 

 the ])roduction of Shortluu'ns and local mai'ket 

 conditions in the Ottawa territory are good.
