unthinkingly named Congalton Rosebud grew into 

 a great cow, which might have been exhibited any- 

 where two or three years ago. She won at Edin- 

 burgh in June of this season. The old white cow's 

 calf in 1914 was a dark roan bull sired by Birdsall 

 Briar and named Test Act (128,475). He was used 

 in the herd one season, and left several beautiful 

 females. Congalton Rosebud has been a fine breeder. 

 She has two good-looking daughters in the herd, and 

 the Perth fourth-placed heifer out of her a month 

 too old for the yearling class was sold for 200 gs. 

 to Messrs Carpenter & Ross.

 Royal (104,568). In calf to the Royal English 

 winner Roving Boy (127,852), her calf of 1917 was 

 a beautifully-shaped white named Stevenson Dorothy. 

 The 41st next bred to Throsk Broadhooks 26th the 

 red Stevenson Dorothy 2nd, one of the best. Then 

 there is a pretty roan yearling, neatly moulded and 

 short-legged, by the Throsk sire and out of Stevenson 

 Dorothy. Mr Elder selected beautiful calves at the 

 Aberdeen autumn sale of 1918 in a red Miss Ramsden 

 from Mr T. L. Anderson's herd at Damside, and by 

 Cupbearer of Collynie (114,960), and a white Butter- 

 fly from Towie Barclay, and by Uppermill Knight 

 (134,052). Some might now class the Miss Ramsden 

 as the most valuable breeder in the herd. From the 

 Perth spring sale of last year Mr Elder took home a 

 grandly-bred Aigas Broadhooks yearling by Ambas- 

 sador (134,614), and from Aberdeen in October he
