102 SHORTHORNS 



bounds for only a small herd, as his noted flock of 

 Border Leicester sheep required the main part of the 

 moderate - sized holding until recently. Old Lady 

 Grandtully, wonderfully fresh for her years, ended her 

 days last autumn on the farm. Her young companions 

 and successors represent the Orange Blossom, Bellona, 

 Brawith Bud, Broadhooks, and Myrtle families. The 

 Orange Blossom is a red yearling by Master Pye 2nd 

 out of Orange Blossom llth; a young Bellona cow 

 is a very fine Boquhan - bred red by Kingston of 

 Edgcote (131,776) from a dam by Golden Primrose 

 (98,979), and Briar Bud 14th, bred by Mr Eobert 

 Anderson, Fingask House, is by Hean Clarence 

 (125,971), dam by Primrose Archer (106,551). The 

 Broadhooks is a show heifer, a grandly - balanced 

 roan by Master Pye 2nd out of the old Aigas-bred 

 cow now at Ardargie Mains. In the case of the 

 Myrtle, a very pretty red home-bred cow by Keir 

 Raider (102,645), the character of the family with 

 which Mr James Durno has won so much distinction 

 is well maintained. This cow has a beautiful red heifer 

 calf by Dunglass Chieftain. At the North Loirston 

 sale the enterprising tenant of Nether Ardargie paid 

 700 gs. for the yearling heifer Princess Royal Beauty 

 5th by Collynie Master Lavender (141,710). 



With such materials Mr M'Intosh might soon work 

 into a first-rate herd, if more space were at his 

 command. He has a stock - breeder's instincts and 

 long experience.
