Mr Cameron has been steadily improving buildings 

 and making his homestead more completely adapted 

 for a Shorthorn herd. Westside is an inspiration, 

 and his own instinct ought to carry him far. 



ORCHARD FARM. 



At Orchard Farm, near Cambus, on the northern 

 side of the Forth opposite to Throsk, Mr John 

 Finlayson, son of Mr Wm. Finlayson, has been 

 breeding Shorthorns for a number of years. Mr 

 John Finlayson took up farming at first in Herts. 

 He came north to Orchard in 1910. His first pur- 

 chase was made in 1909, when he acquired the 

 cow Holker Waterloo 2nd, bred by the Duke of 

 Devonshire, and by Emperor of Oxford (83,426). In 

 1910 that cow calved a very good red heifer by 

 Gondomar (95,359), but unfortunately the calf rolled 

 into one of the deep Forth -side ditches and was 

 drowned. The next purchase was that of Waterloo 

 Lady, a red roan from Mr Wm. Jackson, Hillend, 

 Hitchin, and by the Barrel well - bred Sharpshooter 

 (90,093). The dam of the cow, which had been bred 

 by Mr C. H. Jolliffe, had for sire the well-known 

 Handsome Boy (76,832). Waterloo Lady produced 

 four very good calves at Orchard. A very finely-bred 

 roan Augusta heifer was selected from Sir Herbert 

 Leon of Bletchley. This was Angela by Ascott
