HERD NOTICES 197 



Durno's sale. She is a red by Earl Broadhooks 

 (108,510), her mother being by the Collynie Pride 

 of the Herd (100,007) and grandmother by the 

 Uppermill Diamond Mine (83,296), one of the finest 

 stock bulls of his time. The dam of Lady Victoria 

 Myrtle produced the Aberdeen champion bull of 1917. 

 A valuable addition to the herd was made at the 

 Aberdeen October sale of 1918 in the red Goldie 

 yearling, Lothian Goldielocks, from the Dalmeny herd, 

 and by Auchnacree Laird (134,740). Her price was 

 720 gs., but she was expected to be in calf to the 

 famous show bull Lothian Lex, now in the Argentine. 

 During the last two seasons the Messrs Jones have 

 made some use of the old white Collynie Silver 

 Knight (124,851) by Knight of Collynie (112,229), 

 out of Collynie Clara 3rd by Danesfield Storm King 

 (94,827), and last season they put the one-year-old 

 red Mains of Sanquhar Foch to all the roan cows 

 and heifers. Foch is by the thick- framed Newton 

 Count (132,490), from Sanquhar Florence 2nd by 

 Sanquhar Eclipse (117,605). Sanquhar Eclipse is by 

 Hawthorn Champion (99,098), out of the Clipper cow 

 Zoe llth by Scotch Thistle (73,584). 



With characteristic vigour the new proprietors of 

 Dunmore Park have erected a commodious and con- 

 veniently-arranged set of byres, courts, and boxes 

 for the Shorthorns near the old kennels, which are 

 now transformed into an improved piggery. The 

 owners' intention is to put from 80 to 90 acres of 

 the estate enclosures under a course of cropping. 

 Most of the soil is a strong clay loam of rich quality.
