famous Collynie Marshal (105,071), from a Brawith 

 Bud cow by Jim Sidey (99,230). In 1917 a limited 

 use was made of the Woodend Diamond Favourite, 

 a roan Queen of Rothes bull by the noted Brave 

 Marquis (119,158) which has bred so many winners 

 for Mr Crombie. This Woodend bull was put to the 

 Dunglass Chieftain heifers. At Mr Duthie's sale in 

 1917 Mr Henderson bought two young bulls by 

 Knight of Collynie. These were Collynie Crossbow 

 (141,700), a dark roan Crocus with exceptionally fine 

 top-crosses Collynie Marshal, Royal Edward, Golden 

 Star, and Prince of Fashion and Collynie Bachelor 

 (141,695), a red Butterfly from a dam by Solid Silver 

 (87,418), grandam by Candahar (78,522). Crossbar, 

 which cost 520 gs., has developed into a grand bull 

 with a beautiful head and remarkably good hind- 

 quarters. He has been used to a considerable extent, 

 and his calves are of great promise. Collynie Bachelor 

 was put to some of the lighter-coloured heifers. He 

 was sold last spring. Last year Mr Henderson ac- 

 quired from the Earl of Rosebery what some good 

 judges consider to be one of the best white bulls in 

 Britain Lothian Brigadier, a Broadhooks by Edgcote 

 Masterpiece (115,277). 



In 1917 Mr Henderson had fifty calves from forty- 

 nine cows and heifers, a result which would be difficult 

 to equal anywhere. His aim in future will probably 

 be towards a breeding strength of thirty to thirty-five 

 cows. Lawton itself, which he owns, has an extent of 

 about 240 acres, while the neighbouring farm of 

 Leaston, which he holds on lease, runs to 270 acres.
