Too Much For Bossie
Giving birth to her seventh pair of
twins was too much for a Durham
cow belonging to Mr. Orville Cann, of
Usborne Twp. In February, 1945, this
cow established some notoriety in
press and radio by giving birth to her
sixth pair of twins, a record that was
unbeaten as far as we were able to
learn. On Sunday, December 29th.,
the seventh pair of twins were born,
but owing to its -age the animal has
since died. Altogether she gave birth
to 19 calves. Another pair of twins
was born on the farm three weeks
previously.—Exeter Times-Advocate.

on the national winter fuel supply and
it is the first case of its proportions to
