A HISTdKV OF SIIORTIIORXS IX KANSAS 499 



John Frye, Independence. — Mr. Fvye is one of 

 the iiu'u Avlio ))\' reason of eiiviroiiineiit is a].)Ie to 

 seciii'e ureat I'esiilts in tlie production of live 

 stoelv. Ilis l<K-ati<)n on a farni witli excellent pas- 

 tnic and licax y ci-ops of alfalfa and forauc, is 

 ideal. Fra'tliei-niore, Mr. Fiye is eiiuipped by 

 years of training- in tarnnng and lie lias had 

 almost a life association with Shorthorns. Mrs. 

 Frye is a daughter of one of the old Shorthorn 

 faniilics of Iowa and was a near neighl)or of pro- 

 minent Shorthorn lirccders. ]jotli Mr. and Mrs. 

 Frye are active physicall}' and nientall_y and have 

 unbounded enthusiasm for the work. "We have 

 l)een wiieating it and getting this high priced al- 

 falfa oi'f these war times and have neglected our 

 cattle," Mr. Frye said to me, and results proved 

 the coriTrtness of his assertion. 



Ne\'er-the-less, the Frye cattle are wortln^ of 

 more t]ian passing notice. There are now eight- 

 een good femah_\s in the herd, nearly all de- 

 scended from a Potts Emma c«.)w, Lady Emma 

 l)y Ingle Lad, purchased from H. M. Hill some 

 years ago. This cow, in common with most 

 Ingle Lad cows, was a great milker and 

 her d(\scendants in the herd are a splen- 

 did lot of cows of good size that would 

 excite the admiration of even a dairyman, 

 }-et tlie\' are of true Shorthorn type and repre- 

 sent the class of cattle needed by the average 

 farmer on a small farm who must produce Ijoth
