254 EXISTING SCOTCH HERDS. 



in his herd descendants only of Young Favourite 61, 

 Edinburgh 64, and Favourite 2. The families descended 

 from Young Favourite 61 are the Princesses and Baronesses. 

 These two families both trace to Prizie 586, bred by Mr 

 Ferguson out of Young Favourite 61, and after Black Jock 3. 

 The Princesses descend through Princess of Kinnochtry 

 914, calved in 1861, a daughter of President 3rd 246, and 

 Prizie 586 ; and the Baronesses through Eliza of Ean- 

 nochtry 912, calved in 1860, after The Baronet 339, and 

 out of Miss Scott 913, a grand-daughter of Prizie 586. 

 From Edinburgh 64, a smaller family of Emily's is 

 descended. The Kinnochtry Favourites are directly 

 descended from Favourite 2. Mr Ferguson's present herd 

 may therefore be said to have been founded by the three 

 Keillor cows — Young Favourite 61, Edinburgh 64, and 

 Favourite 2. Mr Ferguson, also, when he commenced to 

 cultivate the Keillor families, purchased from Mr. Watson 

 the bulls Black Jock 3, and Young Jock 4, and he ob- 

 tained the use of the stock sires at Keillor. 



With the exception of two heifers which he bought 

 from Mr Mustard, Leuchland, in 1856, and which were 

 that year shipped to Canada, along with Butterfly 71, a 

 heifer of his own breeding, Mr Ferguson added no 

 animals except from Keillor until 1871, when he purchased 

 Young Mina 924, a calf, at Mr Leslie's sale at The 

 Thorn. He bought other two bulls from Mr. Watson, 

 Hugh 130, and The Baronet 339, the latter bred by Sir 

 James Burnett, Bart, of Crathes, out of the Keillor cow 

 Beauty, and by the Keillor buU Strathmore 5. He also 

 purchased a cow at the Keillor final sale in 1860 for 

 £58, 10s., but she died of dropsy soon afterwards. In 

 consequence of an accident to a Princess bull, Mr Ferguson 

 acquired, about 1873, the bulls Lord Macduff 678, and 

 Young Palmerston 982, from the Earl of Fife, but he has 

 sold the whole of their progeny excepting one or two. In 

 1874 he bought from Mr M'Combie of Tillyfour the Pride
