48G A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



(if Y(»uiig COWS of lier 1)rccding, size and quality 

 would l)e ahiK^st invaluable. 



I mi gilt coutiiuie in this way witli a uuinber of 

 the cows but shall call attention in detail 

 to only a few. Princess Goluniliia, an eleven- 

 year-old, 1800 pound cow on grass alone, is the 

 only daughter of Prince of Gollyiiie left in the 

 herd. One of her bulls, Kansas Prince, is the 

 sire of a sensational lot of calves shown by O. 

 0. Massa at the Southeast Kansas Shorthorn 

 Show at Coffeyville in April 1919. Another, a 

 three-year-old bull now used by Barrett & Land, 

 is one of the best young bulls I have seen and 

 reminds me of old Prince of CoUynie, his grand- 

 sire. Another Collyiue cow in the herd is the 

 roan, Emily, sold as a heifer to Bellows Bros, 

 for $500. She raised the bulls that for three 

 years topped the Bellows sales and was bought hy 

 Mr. Hill in one of their sales as a ten-year-old 

 cow for $1000. Sycamore Spiraea, also by Col- 

 lynie and an own sister to Prince of Collynie, is 

 another massive 1800 pound breeding cow with 

 numerous descendants in the herd. Still an- 

 other Collynie cow is Sarcasm that went from 

 Mr. Haima's to Bell(^ws Bros, and fomid her way 

 liack to Sycani<n'e Springs. She is a typical l)ig 

 Shorthorn. 



This sketch might become tiresome to those 

 who are not Sliorthorn (nithusiasts if I should 

 inidertakc to tell of .each of the animals,
