 glance at the list of females in the herd shows that there

 concerned, for the production of good animals, and the 

 present lot of youngsters is sufficient guarantee that the 

 dams have been well and carefully selected. There is one 

 Erica in the herd, viz. Esther of Aberlour 4843, a very 

 pretty specimen of the family, having all the character-
