and a beautiful Violet heifer calf from Saltoun. The 

 Clipper, which was bred by Mr G. C. Greig in Aber- 

 deenshire, cost 300 gs. A high-class eleveri-months-

 at the February sale of 1919. The more notable of 

 recent additions to the herd have been the beautiful 

 red calf Golden Duchess of Gloster, which cost 1100
