GREENLEES. 



Some good Shorthorns have been bred on the 

 exposed farm of Greenlees, near Kelso, during the 

 last twenty years, by Messrs Adam and Robert 

 Riddell. Mr Adam Riddell, the surviving brother, 

 states that the foundation of the herd was laid 

 with two cows bought in 1900 at the then Capt. 

 Oliver's Hoselaw sale. The cows were Maybloom, 

 formerly owned by Mrs Hodgson Huntly of Car- 

 ham Hall, Northumberland, and sired by Chieftain 

 (54,344); and Victorina by Captain Hope (66,778). 

 In 1910 another cow was acquired at the late Mr 

 Elliot's Clifton Park sale. That was the Alnwick 

 Park-bred Selina's Fancy by Pride of Freedom 

 (73,241). The three cows now referred to bred 

 remarkably well, and their female descendants formed 

 a pretty herd of good-headed, deep-milking animals. 

 The principal bulls used in the herd have been 

 Landsman (83,847), Satellite (90,044), Sailor Prince 

 (93,318), Roan Benson (100,301), Midshipman 

 (99,643), Broadhooks Chieftain (101,301), Lipwood 

 Choice (126,516), Halsall Reliance (131,331), and 

 Mahogany (137,789).
