Easter Tullocli in 1876, and is still in the herd, with her 

 heifer calf Chloe. Fred's 5th Darling 2363, of the Ballin- 

 dalloch Sybil family, was bought at the Mulben dispersion 

 in 1876, and is now represented by Fred's Fancy 4384 

 and Sybil's Darling 3rd. Sybil's Darling 4050, out of 

 Fred's 5th Darling, was sold to Mr Wilken, Waterside, 

 for 100, and her daughter went to the Ontario Experi- 

 mental Farm. Kora 3582, descended from the Campfield 

 herd; Lark of Tillychetly 3790, descended from Old 

 Grannie 1, with her heifer calf; Kate of Campfield 2177, 

 with two granddaughters; Inky 4381, from the Johnston 

 herd ; Eene 4607, of the Kinnaird Eebecca family from 

 Easter Tulloch ; Dnieper 4609, of the Eothiemay Georgina 

 family from Cortachy ; Keepsake 6th, out of Keepsake 

 3559 ; Lamina, out of Lizzie of Fyvie 2nd 4683, of the 

 Fyvie Flower family, are the other females in the herd, 

 representing, as will be observed, some valued strains of 

 blood. The stock-bulls used have been Ballot of Well- 

 house 634, bred by Mr Anderson, Wellhouse; Etonian 

 1658, bred at Ballindalloch, out of that very fine Erica 

 cow Eva 984, and after the Erica bull Elcho 595; and 

 Standard 1829, bred by Lord Tweedmouth, after the 

 Charmer bull Chamberlain 1570, and out of Eosebud 3rd 

 3339 of the Drumin Eose family. Etonian was first-prize 

 yearling, and second in the two-year-old and aged classes, 

 at the shows of the Eoyal Northern Society. The females 

 are never fed for showing, but are kept in good breeding 

 condition. Mr Argo has been very fortunate as regards the 

 bulls used in his herd, and Standard, the present stock-sire, 

 promises to turn out the best he has had. At the last 

 Aberdeen sale Mr Argo received an average of about 41 

 for his bull calves.
