CARSE OF GOWRIE. 



After the death of George, Lord Kinnaird, the Carse 

 of Gowrie was for a good many years without a herd 

 of the fashionable breed. The late Mr David Ander- 

 son, Loan of Errol, then broke the monotony and bred 

 some good cattle for a considerable period. Mr Wm. 

 Niven, his successor at the Loan Farm and tenant of 

 the adjoining holdings of Murie Edge, Falla, and 

 Inchcoonan, is now vigorously engaged in the Short- 

 horn export business. He has ample bounds, useful 

 accommodation, and other facilities, and if some of his 

 land is too strong for a breeding herd, it is well 

 adapted for growing plenty of winter keep. He laid 

 the foundations of his herd just before the outbreak of 

 the war with a white Broadhooks heifer calf by 

 Adbolton King Millicerit (107,584), from Colonel 

 Munro ; a red Emmeline heifer by Broadhooks Earl 

 (101,655), from Tulliallan ; a dark roan Wild Duchess 

 heifer by Sunstar (117,944), and a red Emmeline 

 yearling by Redgauntlet (117,238), from Arngask ; a 

 red Lady Waterloo calf by Norman of Cluny (116,778), 

 from Polmaise ; and a grandly bred Flora heifer of 

 the Fanfare line by the Collynie Primrose Star 

 (106,555), from Mr Wm. M. Scott. To these he has 

 added members of the Jilt, Augusta, Butterfly, and 

 other fashionable families. At the Aberdeen October 

 sale of 1919 he paid 400 gs. for the roan two-year- 

 old Saltoun Augusta by Newton Count (132,490), and 

 160 gs. for the red Cadboll-bred Butterfly 41st by
