TlflS A lUS'l'Din' IIP SIKIKTHOK.XS IX KANSAS 



by ll('ii]'y Stuiikcl i'l-oiii Jos. Diuicaii of Missoiu'i 

 aiul is lar.uely the result of tlie use of four good 

 bulls. Souic of the r;;ws ai'c l:)i'('(l within tlio 

 so-called Scotch lines wliile others are not, but 

 all ar(.' fi-oui excellent ancestry and of the clioicest 

 In'eeding. 



The four l.iulls I'eiei'red to, named in tlie ord(.'r 

 used, are Knight (if Meadow Fai'ui ;id, Vict(.)]" 

 Oi'ange, Star (loods and <Jiuiil_)erland Diamond. 

 Kniglit of Mea(lo\\' Fai'm :!d was a Forbes- W. A. 

 Hai'ris pi'oduct, his sire, ljar(jii (Jolddust 3d, 

 having l»een l.)y J>aron Uloster and his dam b}' 

 Loi'd of Liawood, a :--on oi' imp. JJaron \"ictor 

 i.iut of imp. Lady (jf the Meadow, a cow later 

 d(\sti:ied 1o become famous as the dam of L(U'd 

 Mayor. The cows ])y Knight of Meadow Farm 

 3(1 developed into exceptional Ijreeders. Victor 

 Orange was a bull that left the rather unusual 

 record of having sired extra good breeding l)ulls 

 and extra good producing cows. These cows 

 were not genei'ally of show \'ai'd ty])e l»ut every 

 one I have seen was a lug, rugged, straight lined, 

 good bodied cow with feminiue head and neck. 

 They all produce strong, lusty cah'cs and it Ite- 

 came a rec(unmendation for size and quality for 

 any calf to have a A'^ictor Orange dam. A"'ict(U' 

 Orange came by his ability to sire su(di cattle, 

 honestly. His sire was by A^ictorious and hit 

 dam by Scai'let Knight, two of the best bulls of 

 theii- day and holii sires of oulstanding merit.
