HERD NOTICES 161 



Primrose 10th, by the Collynie Village Bard (87,630). 

 Shuttlefeathers have proved fine breeders. The first 

 of them came from the late Mr Francis Simmers. 

 The family has swayed strongly to bull -breeding. 

 Radiance, one of these, was second at Perth in 1915. 

 A third strain of the Miss Ramsdens, and a splen- 

 didly successful one, is from Bella, a great roan cow 

 bred by Mr William Smith, Cairnie, Keith. One of 

 the finest families is the Lustre, from Lustre 14th, 

 bought at the dispersion of the late Mr Simmers' herd 

 in 1908. That cow was by Cash Box (66,791). One 

 of her daughters, Corston Lustre 6th, was sold to the 

 Earl of Rosebery, and was dam of the noted show bull 

 Lothian Lex. The 10th of this line passed into Mr 

 Joseph G. Scott's herd. Waterloo Princess 33rd, of 

 Mr Simmers' breeding, and by the Collynie Count St 

 Clair (74,300), has bred pretty heifers. The first 

 Broadhooks came from Dunglass, but she was bred by 

 Mr Gordon-Oswald. Roan Broadhooks 3rd, another 

 of the same family, and by Star of Scotland (90,232), 

 came from Mr William Craigie. Missies and Roan 

 Ladys of Rothiebrisbane and Tilbouries origin have 

 done remarkably well. A fine family of Lavenders 

 came from the old Pirriesmill Lavender Thyme 9th. 

 Orange Blossoms are well represented. They are 

 from the West Fingask Orange Blossom 14th by 

 Strowan (107,206). Then there are Augustas from 

 Mr Wm. Craigie's Augusta Lady by King's Knight 

 (99,286), and Secrets of the first rank from Fairlawne 

 Secret 2nd by Collynie Crown (111,334), and with 



the crosses of Gravesend, Cumberland, and Roan
