HERD NOTICES 251 



ably well in Mr Moubray's herd. At the Pirriesmill 

 dispersion sale Stella 2nd, by Earl of Elgin (91,589), 

 and her heifer calf Stella 4th by Golden Hero (91,857), 

 were bought for 150 gs. and 90 gs. respectively. At 

 the same sale Mr Duthie bought a full sister to Stella 

 2nd, and at Collynie that cow has been the dam of 

 the Millhills stock bull Collynie Bright Star (130,287), 

 and grandam of the Doune Lodge Eclipse of Col- 

 lynie (136,344). Stella 2nd has proved a wonderful 

 success through her daughters. Her granddaughter, 

 Naemoor Stella, was exported to the States, and at 

 Messrs Carpenter & Ross's sale she was sold for 970. 

 An Edgcote Masterpiece, grandson of the old cow 

 through another daughter, was very greatly admired 

 at the Perth Show and sale of 1919. He was then 

 going very lame, but Messrs Carpenter & Eoss paid 

 1000 gs. for him, and on the other side he passed out 

 of the ring at 3200. On him the ' Breeders' Gazette ' 

 commented : " His head is ideal ; he is specially level 

 in his lines, mellow as could be desired, and is a real 

 bull from every point of view. He fills the eye as 

 have few seen by the writer in years." 



The late Mr A. M. Gordon of Newton bred some 

 noble -looking cattle of the Jealousy family. At his 

 dispersion sale Mr Moubray took out a fine cow in the 

 six-year-old Newton Jealousy 4th, her price being 

 220 gs. Mated with the great stock bull Edgcote 

 Masterpiece, she bred the Perth Spring Show 

 champion of 1916, Velox of Naemoor, a magnificent 

 specimen of a Shorthorn in character, substance, and 

 balance, but handicapped by a splashy form of roan.
