quarters. She was the first-prize cow at Peterborough, 

 and is an excellent breeder, her two calves being beauties. 

 Another purchase from Lord Airlie was Manilla 4189 of 

 The Thorn Flora family. Escape 3879, a strong, healthy 

 cow and a deep milker, also came from Lord Airlie. The 

 bull bought from Lord Strathmore was Bombastes 1548, 

 from Beauty of Garline 1247, and after Neptune 1152. 

 The first-prize yearling at Kilburn, he won in 1881 the prize 

 of £20, presented by the Marquis of Huntly for the best 

 bull of any age at Peterborough. He has been used as 

 stock sire with success, his calves of this year being very 

 promising. At the Marquis of Huntly's dispersion in 1881 

 some important additions were made. Mr Greenfield then 

 secured the finest animal offered at that important sale in 

 Vine 9th 3256 of the Daisy branch of the Queen tribe. 

 She was the highest-priced yearling at the Tillyfour sale 

 in 1878, and cost 115 guineas at Aboyne. A half-sister 

 to the celebrated cow Dora 1280, she is an animal of 

 beautiful symmetry aud quality. At Aboyne, Mary 2nd 

 3851, of the Westertown Victoria family, and the grand 

 breeding cow Daylight 1478, of the Eothiemay Georgina 

 family, were obtained. The next additions were made at 

 Mr Hannay's sale in 1881. They comprised Jinnes Gay 

 3771, a half-sister of the champion cow Innes 1934 ; 

 Kilmeny 2nd 4780, of the Matilda branch of the Queen 

 tribe ; Challenge 4542 after Challenger 1260 ; the lovely 

 heifer calf Benefit 2nd 5016, of the Montbletton Mayflower 

 family, being out of the Highland Society's first-prize cow 

 Blackbird of Corskie 2nd 3024 and Susanne 3rd of the 

 Westertown Eose family, also a very handsome animal. 

 Mr Greenfield has been very fortunate with his highly -bred 

 herd, and the calves and heifers bred by him give promise 

 of future excellence.
