DUCHESS OF WESTERTOWN. 53 



At the Castlecraig dispersion sale in 1899 a daughter 

 and two granddaughters of Dew of Kirkton were sold at 

 good prices. The daughter Drochil 22937, a handsome 

 cow, going to Tedfold at 50 guineas, and thence to 

 Langshott, but bred only bulls after going south ; a grand- 

 daughter, Dunella 25431, went to Droagh at 55 guineas, 

 and is or was lately represented there. 



Dracaena passed to Phoineas and is still represented 

 there. 



Another daughter of Dandelion 2nd, Datura of 

 Ballindalloch 17935, went to Sherfield Manor, and thence 

 to Kelmarsh, where at the dispersion sale in 1895 two 

 handsome daughters of this cow were sold at good prices: 



(6) Dahlia 3279, which passed to Hatton, where 

 she had a numerous progeny, several of which have been 

 winners at the R.N. and local Shows, the females 

 descended from her being named " Daffodil Duchess " 

 and the bulls " Dianthus." 



One of these bulls, Dianthus 5th 18977, was 2nd as a 

 two-year old at the R.N. Show, 1903, and passed to 

 Langshott, where he proved a good sire of females, and 

 was a prizewinner in 1905. 



This strain is still represented at Hatton, Claverdon, 

 and elsewhere : 



(c) Daphnie 3282, of which a descendant, Dudah 

 21166, bred at Naughton, and her daughter, Demona 

 29299, passed at the South Ella dispersion Sale in 1901 

 to Ireland, and are represented at Kilquade and Kilbride. 



Many of the females of this family show good type, 

 quality, and feminine character combined with flesh- 

 ing and milking qualities, and it is one which on its 

 foundation and merits would appear to deserve a more 

 numerous representation than it has at the present time.
