Rohnensand, Prussia, Sept. Is OPl A cross between a COW and 8 sheep in this district has been 2 source of much scientific and popu- lar conjecture during the past year. The mother of this extraordinary feak of nature was black COW weighing 495 pounds, and the father a white ram of 176 pounds. The hybrid offspring of these strangely mated parents Is the property of Herr Thomsen. the landlord of the village inn. The animal Is consid- .erably smaller than an average sized calf, but 1t has the body of COW. It has a sheep's head and tail The horns are curved like those Of ram and the coating of the animal resembles lambs wool.
