350 THE BREED IN FOEEIGN COUNTEIES. 



Marquis of Huntly ; and the cow Sybil's Darling 2nd 

 4611, of the BallindaUoch Sybil family, from Mr Argo, 

 Cairdseat. These animals have bred satisfactorily, and the 

 bulls have proved very sure stock-getters, having been put 

 with success to other breeds when other bulls failed to get 

 calves. Professor Brown writes: — "We can command 

 £60 to £70 for yearling bulls and heifers for the States 

 and Canada. Eyebright 3001 has given us a value in pro- 

 duce of £300 in five years. We have conclusively proved, 

 by extensive experiments, that the milk is very rich. We 

 are putting up a couple of grades (poUed upon Canadian) 

 next winter against others in feeding. The polled cattle 

 do well in Canada — are hardy, splendid on pasture, good 

 searchers for food, kindly, good nurses, and evidently early 

 maturers. They are unquestionably, with Herefords, the 

 animal for our North -Western grazings." 



Mr Mossom Boyd, Bobcaygeon, Ontario, founded a herd 

 in the summer of 1881 by the purchase of some very well- 

 bred animals. They comprised Pride of Findhorn 3rd 

 4758, of the Pride of Aberdeen family, and Mayflower of 

 Altyre 3rd 4763, of the Mulben Mayflower family, both 

 from the herd of Sir W. G. Gordon Camming, Bart, of 

 Altyre ; Wanton 4610, by the Erica buU Etonian 1658, bred 

 by Mr Argo, Cairdseat; Princess Alice 4829, descended 

 from the Keillor cow Old Grannie 1, bred by Mr Middle- 

 ton, Waulkmill ; Princess Dagmar 5th 4528, of the Matilda 

 branch of the Queen tribe, and Pauline 3672, bred by Mr 

 Bruce, CoUithie ; Waterside Queen 3208, of the Kinnaird 

 Fanny family, bred by Mr. Wilken, Waterside ; and Caro- 

 line 2nd 3814, bred by Mr Eeid, Nether Kildrummy. 

 These were to be largely added to this year. Mr Boyd 

 was using the bull Lord Macduff, bred at the Ontario 

 School of Agriculture, after Gladiolus 1161, and out of 

 Leochel Lass 4th 1864. Mr Boyd adds : — " I showed three 

 at our provincial exhibition last fall, and they were much 

 admired and curiously looked at, being the first exhibited,
