 Mr. Kna})]) was born in the house in which he 

 now lives. His father, L. A. Knajjp, a well known 

 breeder, had just come from Illinois bringing 

 some Shorthorns with him. The present herd 

 descends in part from these cattle brought to the 

 Kansas farm in 1870. making Mr. Knapp 's one 

 of the oldest lierds in the state. Tlie herd is not 

 large, munbering only about ten cows, which are 

 used to raise good calves and give milk for the 

 family and occasionally some for market. It 

 goes without saying that cows kept for this pur- 

 pose are heavy milkers. The l)ull iu service 

 comes from the Applet<_»n herd.

 ning a liei'd with three good (-ows and a bull — a
