A HISTORY OP SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 439 



G. W. Massa, Edna. — Like a iiiim])er of others 

 in Lal)ette comity, Mr. Massa uses a few regis- 

 tered Shorthorns as milk cows, giving the calves 

 good care and selling them for breeding j^nr- 

 poses. By this means he is enal)led to get much 

 greatt'r net retiu'ns than from cows of any other 

 In-eed. I saw an excellent individual of very 

 pleasing appearance in his pasture, a real dual- 

 l)uri)()se cow, the ty])e of the future for the small 

 farm. 



A. H. Neville, Valeda. — Mi-. Neville has a 

 small herd, the foundation of which was pur- 

 cliased locally and which, like others in the vicin- 

 ity, represents a useful type of farm cattle. As 

 these cows are almost invarial:)]y good milkers, 

 they solve the question of making cattle i)a.y un- 

 der the more costly conditions now met on the 

 small farm. Mr. Neville is using a Inill from the 

 Nevius herd, typical in character and breeding 

 of that establishment. 



W. J. Walker, Altamont.— Mr. Walker is one 

 of F. B. Cam]:)l)eirs neighbors. He bought a cow 

 a few years ago and now has several very credit- 

 able Shorthorns. His bull, purchased from Fred 

 Cowley, comes through such ancestry as Ingle 

 Ijad Jr., a son of Sweet Mistletoe, fam(_>us as 

 the dam of the 1919 International grand cham- 

 pion. The dam of Mr. Walker 's bull is by Secret 

 Archer, one of the noted Kansas sires of his 

 dav.
