HERD NOTICES 269 



hooks from Throsk and by Collynie Golden Boy 

 (130,288); a white Broadhooks calf from Balnakyle ; 

 a roan Rosebud from Mr M'Allister and by Adbolton 

 King Tulip (129,026); a red Clara from Strowan ; a 

 white Eliza from Tulliallan, and a dark roan Princess 

 Royal by Millhills Rothes King from Clunes. The 

 last-named cost 850 gs. A notable addition was 

 made to the herd last year in Mr W. M. Cazalet's 

 Cardiff Royal female champion Proud Dorothy, bred 

 by Mr Duthie and by Lothian Augustus (116,354). 



Mr Marshall is exceedingly fortunate in having 

 such a large collection of Clippers tracing back along 

 two highly-prized lines to the famous Sittyton founda- 

 tion cow. The Augustas will soon be in prominence 

 also at Rachan, and the closely allied Rosewoods 

 should be safe, as Ballechin Rosewood has bred a 

 pretty heifer calf. There is not an overplus of Secrets 

 in Scotland, but the Cullisse acquisition has bred a 

 promising heifer calf at Rachan. In the two-year- 

 old heifer group, the Princess Royal, the Rosebud, the 

 Eliza, a Clara out of Strowan Clara 14th, and a 

 Clipper are the best. These by themselves would 

 form a very fine foundation for a herd. Last year 

 28 cows and 5 heifers came to the calving, but in 

 all probability the herd of breeding cows will not 

 be regularly run into a larger total than 30 head. 

 The fortunes of the herd will be followed with great 

 interest. Mr Marshall's enterprise and enthusiasm 

 deserve rewards in calf crops, prizes, and prices. 



The principal bulls used by Mr Marshall have been 

 Doune Warlock (125,229), bred by the Earl of Moray ;
