A HISTORY OF SIIORTIIORXS IN KANSAS 465 



Bariiiptoii Kiiig-]it, Gallant Knight and Gallant 

 Kniglit's lleii', all well kn(_)wn in the Tomson 

 herd, Banker, l)red l)y John McCoy, Golden 

 Knight of Enterprise, l*eeulated Wild Eyes, said 

 by good breeders to have l)een the equal of the 

 best Scotch bulls of his day, G<.)od Choice, sire 

 of grand champions. Grand A^ictor, Hamilton's 

 Best and <_Uioice Goods. That cows from such 

 ancestr}' are valuable as breeders is an estab- 

 lished fact. The present herd Indl is on trial as 

 all young hulls should l)e. AVhile he pi'omises to 

 l)e fairly satisfactory, it has already been decided 

 to replace him with a high-class bull. 



Ml'. Punk impressed me as a man of more than 

 average energy and a]>ility with a determination 

 to breed go(xl Shorthorns and in this he should 

 succeed, for he has the fundamental elements 

 needed for success in his l(.)t of cows and plenty 

 of feed, including alfalfa. 



B. L. Taylor & Son, Peabody. — Not many 

 herds of four years existence are as g(_)od as the 

 liei'd on Fairland Faiin and not often is the 

 yoiuig stock so well cared f (»r. The result of this 

 Ijolicy clearly forcasts an excellent herd for the 

 futui'c. Am(jng the best cows are the eight-year- 

 old Nevius bred A^ictoria by Searchlight out of a 

 dam by imp. Prince Oderic and the Bellows 

 lu'cd Scotch Lavender 2d l;)y Good (Jhoice, dam
