A Butler county farmer is the
owner of calf with two heads. Be
sides having two heads it has four
nostrils, two tongues, two under
jaws, and three eyes, one on each
side of its head and one in trout. 1t
is fully developed and its body is
the same as any other bovine's.
The calf is doing well and bids fair
to live and reach maturity. The own.
er has already received several
tempting offers to dispose of the
wonder, but absolutely refuses to
part with it.
