A Strange Nurse. 



By A. J. Bigney. 



On June 1, 1908, there was born on the farm of Will H. Sedam, near 

 Moores Hill, Indiana, a litter of kittens, only one of which lived. The 

 mother of these kittens died August 1. The surviving kitten began to 

 try to nurse the sire. Soon milk began to flow a little and as the nursing 

 continued the milk increased in its flow. The sire soon had two well 

 developed nipples doing service. The kitten lagged a little in its growth 

 for a while, but soon was in good condition and continued to do well. 

 This is the first instance of the kind that has come under my observation.
