leaving two females in the herd she herself was sold 

 to Messrs Carpenter & Ross, U.S.A. A Broadhooks 

 heifer acquired from Mr D. H. Moore, Drummond, 

 in 1915, has so far produced bulls. In 1917 Mr 

 Rodger made valuable selections in a Cloichfoldish- 

 bred Lady Dorothy heifer and a Montrave - bred 

 Clipper heifer calf. The Lady Dorothy is by the 

 great stock bull Keir Quartermaster (120,896), a 

 son of Edgar 2nd of Cluny and out of the Queen 

 of Rothes cow Beaufort Queen 2nd, while the Clipper 

 is by Butterfly Royal (130,032). 



A note may be taken of the best breeding bulls 

 used in the herd. St Glair (79,884) of the Undine 

 family and by Merry Archer (67,477) ; Bridegroom 

 (82,944), a Jenny Lind by Mercury ; and Myrtle 

 Archer (84,200) by Archer, were specially successful 

 as breeders of females. Keir Jester (86,287), of the 

 Strawberry line and by Myrtle Archer, might have 

 had a longer reign. It will be seen that three of 

 these bulls just noted brought in the blood of the 

 famous Scottish Archer (59,893), which was much 

 inbred to Champion of England. 



The Brawith bull Lord Elgin (89,117) was a very 

 fine heifer-getter. Extensive use was not made of 

 the Jackstown Lustre bull Baron's Pride (97,986), but 

 he left some excellent animals. Edgar 2nd of Cluny 

 (91,611) was an extraordinary success on the female 

 side. His cows at Keir are a grand collection. 

 Collynie Gondomar (124,843), a Grolden Drop by 

 Max of Cluny, also proved a first-rate sire. Polmaise 

 Star (138,478), a light roan Lady Dorothy by Lex
