A HISTORY OP SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 475 



this ({uality as well as his power of trausmissiou. 

 His sire is Searehlig-ht, one of the most popular 

 of Kansas l)ulls. His dam is hy Choice Goods, 

 one of the greatest show and breeding bulls of 

 America. His second dam is by imp. Lavender 

 Lad and his third dam by Golden Ride. Laven- 

 der Search did four years service in Fred Wal- 

 ton's excellent herd. 



Luther Elmquist, Lindsborg. — Mr. Elmquist 

 is comparatively a new man in the Shorthorn 

 business. He bought a few cows of Peterson 

 Bros, and of otlier local breeders, on which he 

 ust'd a Tomson ])red ]mll with good I'esults. He 

 is now using a thick, short-legged bull by Orange 

 Lovell, a. son of Henry Stuuk(d's Victor Orange, 

 one of the l:)est southwestern Inills of his day. 

 His dam is l)y A-^aliant 3461G2, whose sire, St. 

 Clair, was by imp. Crescent Knight. 



Mr. P]lmquist impressed me as a man of (juick 

 ai)pi'eheusion, with a realization of the need ol' 

 good cattle on the faiius in his lo(-'ality. He holds 

 sound views on live stock management and com- 

 prehends what many men fail to see, that one 

 can not expect cattle to grow wdthout sufficient 

 feed to 2n'(.)duce growth. He is enthusiastic 

 al:)out Shorthorns and understands that the bull 

 is half the herd. He is situated so as to carry out 

 a lil)eral policy in the care and management of 

 his cattle and satisfactory returns may be ex- 

 pected from the cows he has selected.
