she was lost at the calving. Members of the Broad- 

 hooks and Goldie family two of each were added 

 to the herd in 1909-10. Goldie 31st, bred by Messrs 

 Meiklem in Fifeshire, was sold to the Rt. Hon. A. J. 

 Balfour, and her daughter, the beautiful red Goldie 

 32nd, won first as a cow at Edinburgh for Mr Balfour, 

 and was the highest-priced animal at the Whittinge- 

 hame dispersion, as already noted in connection with 

 the Naemoor herd. Members of the Miss Ramsden, 

 Princess Royal, Clipper, Secret, Augusta, Rosewood, 

 Fairy Queen, and Lavender family have been added 

 to the herd during the last few years. These, and 

 the Goldies, are the principal families now in the 

 herd. With the five-year-old Princess Royal Beauty

 and Highland Shows of 1919, the female champion-

For a good many years Mr Malcolm was Scottish 

 adviser to the late Mr Philo L. Mills of Ruddingtori 

 Hall, and Dunmore was then more of a temporary 

 home for well-bred lots of animals mainly intended 

 for export than a steady breeding centre. After the 

 death of Mr Mills, Mr Malcolm took more and more 

 to regular herd building. For a breeding herd Dun- 

 more soil, as a whole, is too strong and rich if any- 

 thing, and the steading is over-spacious in a sense. In 

 East Lothian, Mr Malcolm has plenty of scope in a 

 drier climate and on sharper soil than that to which 

 he had been long accustomed in Stirlingshire.
