HERD NOTICES 158 



The most noted bulls used in Mr Marshall's herd 

 during the last few years have been the roan Lady 

 White Knight (128,848) by Knight of Collynie 

 (112,229); the magnificently -bred Gainford Ring- 

 leader (136,657) by Collynie Mandarin (119,552), out 

 of the Rosebud cow Gainford Welfare by Pride of 

 Tees (96,474) ; Edgcote Crystal (136,363) by Edgcote 

 Guardsman (115,269) ; Edgcote Earl (136,367) by the 

 great Earl of Kingston (120,041) from Irish Welcome 

 by Candahar (78,522); and Edgcote Hero (136,371), 

 the Dublin, Belfast, and Edinburgh Highland cham- 

 pion of 1919, sire Earl of Kingston, and out of the 

 Eliza cow Evelwyn by King Christian of Denmark 

 (86,316). The Royal English champion Gartly 

 Lancer, the noted Dublin champion Pellipar Iris, and 

 Fairlawne Forester, the winning Royal junior yearling, 

 can only be referred to as remarkable show bulls. 

 Mr Marshall's showyard record of last season with 

 bulls has probably never been equalled. 



A strong south-west wind plays at times over some 

 of Mr Marshall's land. It has a considerable sweep 

 across the upper fields at Cruggleton, especially ; but 

 the grazing season is long. There is manifest advan- 

 tage in the open-air life for the ordinary run of the 

 female stock and the bulls which are growing easily 

 towards the exportable stages eighteen to thirty 

 months. Flies are sometimes troublesome during the 

 long days, but the perfect place has still to be dis- 

 covered.
