Two Headed Calf Born


Many visitors have gone to the
home of Mrs. Josephine Todd, near
Vernon, during the past few days, to
view the two headed calf born on the
farm Wednesday of last week. Accord
ing to those who have seen the calf,
it seems to be perfectly developed,
with the one exception, that of hav-
ing two heads. 1t has two mouths,
four eyes and two separate noses. In
dications are that should it live it
will have two pairs of horns.
The calf is so tiny and frail, that
Mrs. Todd is using extra precautlOn
with it in order that it may survive.
She feels it milk from nursing bot
tie and nipple-the calf taking the
nourishment through either mouth.
Mrs. Todd has not diVulged her plans
as vet, but it is expected that 1t Will
he sold and exhibited in some circus.
Its mother is Of the Guernsey breed.
Professor Fitzgerald and his agr1cul-
ture class of the Harrington High
school have visited the farm and look
cd over the freak. This is said to be
tbe greatest freak on record. Many
unusual animals are born but very
few survive any length Of time.
