AMOS CRUICKSHANK OF SITTYTON. 633 



a rich coat of hair, great girth of body, with 

 ribs arching well out from his back. His horns 

 were somewhat coarse." Forth remained in 

 service until 1870 and notwithstanding his high 

 condition left a large number of calves. While 

 filling the eye much more perfectly than Cham- 

 pion of England he did not approach the latter 

 as a sire. Still he left some good stock, among 

 others the cow Violet's Forth, that was im- 

 ported to America arul shown with success in 

 the Western States, as has been already noted. 

 It was the exhibition of this cow that first 

 drew prominent attention to Mr. Cruickshank's 

 breeding in the United States. Viceroy (32764), 

 by Champion of England out of Violet's Forth, 

 was used a short time in the herd. Another of 

 the Forth cows, Anemone, although not much 

 to look at, was a capital breeder. Two sons of 

 Forth bred at Sittyton, Royal Forth (25022) and 

 Julius Caesar (26486), had a trial in service but 

 did not give satisfaction and were sold. One 

 of the best of his get, Lord Forth (26649), was 

 used by Mr. Longmore of Rettie. 



Allan (21172), a red bull bred at Keir and 

 sired by Forth prior to his purchase for Sitty- 

 ton out of a cow of Knightley blood, was 

 bought and used in the herd for three years 

 with a good degree of success.
