to the calf, and the young cow Fair Augusta. By the 

 time they reached Balthayock the four had cost 1000, 

 which was accounted a very large outlay at the time. 

 At the Aberdeen October sale of the same season a 

 very fine Orange Blossom heifer calf was acquired 

 from Mr George Anderson, West Fingask. That was 

 Sweet Orange, a red with slight touch of white, sired 

 by Strowan (107,206). The red heifer Augusta Beauty, 

 of the same line of breeding as Augusta Anguston 

 2nd, was bought from Mr Stephen Mitchell in 1911. 



A year later three beautiful Lavenders were secured 

 at Lord Calthorpe's sale, these being Elvetham 

 Lavender Iris, Elvetham Lavender Thyme, and the 

 young calf Elvetham Lavender Iris 3rd, whose dam 

 went to Dalmeny. Elvetham Marigold was another 

 purchase, but she was afterwards sold to Mr Gazalet. 

 Golden Lady, a handsome red Brawith Bud heifer, 

 was a private selection from Windsor the same season. 

 Other purchases included Edgcote Rosemary and 

 Glory Gold, a Brawith Bud from Edgcote, and 

 Victoria 71st from Messrs Lumsden & M'Kenzie. A 

 Miss Ramsden heifer from Mr Hunter of Arngask, 

 and a Princess Royal and a Butterfly at the Upper- 

 mill dispersion, were the most important of the female 

 additions in 1915. Next season a Broadhooks from 

 Mr Gordon Oswald, and a Rosemary and an Augusta 

 from the Whittingehame sale lot, added to the 

 strength of Balthayock. Of succeeding purchases the 

 more important were Clipper Maid, the very pretty 

 first prize two-year-old at Perth in 1918 ; Auchnacree 

 Moth, a Butterfly ; a very fine Secret from Cullisse ;
