HERD NOTICES 119 



year-old at 700 gs. Ballechin Mysie was also the 

 dam of Ballechin Magnet, the very handsome red 

 second - prize bull in this season's March class at 

 Perth. He was sold to Mr Paton, Gorthy, Perth- 

 shire, for 700 gs. From Corston Lancaster, a 

 blocky roan heifer of Mr But tar's breeding, and by 

 Royal Goldie (103,704), several good heifers and bulls 

 were bred. Sunbeam 10th, acquired from Mr James 

 M'William, became dam of Ballechin Senator (118,702), 

 a third-prize winner at the Perth Spring Show of 1914. 

 By far the most fortunate of Mr B/ose's purchases 

 were those which he made at the Lessendrum dispersion 

 sale. There he selected the heifers Rosewood 82nd, 

 by Brave Augustus (107,996); Prudent Maid, a 

 Broadhooks, by Mr J. A. Horn's Royal Leader 

 (113,173); Roan Bessie, of the Uppermill family, by 

 the same sire ; and Roan Dorothy, by Manchuria 

 (92,428). Those heifers have proved high - class 

 breeders. The best daughter of Rosewood 82nd from 

 a show point of view has been Ballechin Rosewood, by 

 Cupbearer of Colly nie (114,960), but a great deal could 

 be said from a breeder's point of view in favour of 

 Ballechin Rosewood 4th, now in the Rachan herd. 

 The Lady Dorothy has produced a highly distin- 

 guished-looking daughter in Royal Dorothy, by the 

 Uppermill Royal Leader. Prudent Maid has been a 

 bull breeder. Her best son has been Ballechin 

 Brigadier, a high-priced bull in the Argentine. In 

 addition to the foregoing families, Mr Rose has tried 

 a Minmore Duchess of Connaught, by Royal Van- 

 guard (103,767), a Newton Jenny Lind, by Brilliant
