HERD NOTICES 157 



(138,717); Stevenson Myrtle 4th by Throsk Broad- 

 hooks 24th (133,930) ; Broadhooks and Princess Royal, 

 calves from Balnakyle, were the more important pur- 

 chases from 1917 to 1919. The Claymoddie-bred Miss 

 Ramsden heifer cost 400 gs., and the Balnakyle Prin- 

 cess Boyal 900 gs. 



Mr Scott, as will be noted from the next paragraph, 

 should very soon be able to select first-class heifers of 

 his own breeding to build up a herd fit to rank among 

 the best. He occupies a fine stock-breeding farm, 

 and if stimulus were needed he has it in the past and 

 present records of a remarkable countryside. The 

 earlier bulls used by Mr Scott have been referred to. 

 Royal Beau was a red Kilblean Beauty by Lancaster 

 Royal (109,108). Doune Augustus, a short-legged 

 red now in the Harviestoun herd, was kept for only 

 one season by Mr Scott. His sire was the Perth 

 reserve champion of 1917, Doune Grand Knight 

 (130,657), and his dam was Doune Augusta by 

 Diamond Earl (98,591). At the Perth sale of 1919 

 Mr Scott took out of the ring at 700 gs. Lieut. A. 

 Macrae's stylish dark roan Brawith Bud calf, Kin- 

 beachie Crest, by Dunglass Crest (136,260). Mr Scott 

 parted with Kinbeachie Crest at the Perth spring sale 

 of this year, and he then bought at 1150 gs. the red 

 Dolphingstone Broadhooks bull Duplicate by the 

 champion Sanquhar Grand Courtier (139,193). 



A remarkable and costly addition was recently 

 made to the herd by the purchase of the famous cattle 

 owned by Mr C. H. Jolliffe of Newbus Grange, and 

 numbering 37 head. It was the most important recent
