242 SHORTHORNS 



It would be difficult to estimate Mr Stewart's work 

 as an improver of Shorthorns in his native county.

 everywhere his wonderful personality with its scope 

 in outlook impelled men to action, and if there were 

 blocks in the way he did his utmost to remove them.

 counterpart to Joe Culshaw. The former herdsman, 

 latterly the farm manager at Millhills, was a masterly 

 trainer of an animal.

Mr Scott Wyllie, Milton of Luncarty, on Mr 

 Maxtone Graham's property, is better known as

 a herd, and since that time he has bred and sold a

 from the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour ; a Broadhooks 

 from Mr Douglas, Rhynie ; a Butterfly and a Lady 

 Dorothy from Lord Clinton ; a Brawith Bud by Royal 

 Leader (103,727) from the late Mr John Watson, 

 Kirkwood House, Strathaven ; a Queen of Rothes 

 from Messrs Robertson, Cloichfoldich ; an Augusta
