Mr. Grinny has a two-month old calf born with two hind legs, but With no front ones. At birth the calf was in such a healthy condi­ tion Mr. Grinny was unwilling to kill it. It is now in perfect health and is fed by means of a sling arrange­ ment. Mr. Grinny has arranged a permanent loop over the feed trough and at meal time adjusts the loop around the fore part of the calf’s body so that it may eat with the other calves. The owner had intended rearing it for veal, but the family has made such a pet of the animal that he thinks he will keep it for a while. A suggestion has been made that a pair of wooden legs be pro­ vided for the freak, but aS no means for attachment have been found, the idea Will likely be discarded. A. P. Switzer, of Granton, has a one-legged chicken tunning around the barnyard, showing no sigh of its handicap. Tt took the -chicken only three weeks to learn how to hop about. DASHWOOD Dr. W. D.
