 her stock, is excellent. Her calves at Glencorrie have been 

 two heifers and four bulls. The heifers have been retained, 

 and the bull calves have been sold, realizing from 25 

 guineas to 57 guineas. The latter price was paid for her 

 calf of 1881, Deveron Lad, who was bought by the Earl of 

 Seafield, and was considered the finest bull in the sale hall 

 at Aberdeen in 1882, when he realized the highest price of 

 the 81 sold. Matrimony has had two heifers and four bull

 Mr Petrie bought at Mr Tayler's sale at Bothiemay, when
