NEWS AND SUNDRIES. 
S uperfcetatton. —A correspondent of the Country Gentleman 
recently reported a case of a Jersey heifer which produced two 
perfectly developed calves within five months. It is, most likely, 
safe to say that this heifer conceived while being pregnant. Such 
occurrances are rare, though they have been observed in the 
human family as well. Where the uterus is “double,” the expia¬ 
tion is easy. In this and similar cases, there must have remained 
an open passage, through which the spermatozoa reached the 
ovum. 
Pleuro-Pneumonia.— The Northwestern Dairymen’s Associa¬ 
tion, widely recently met in Mankato, Minn., closed its proceed¬ 
ings by the passage of a resolution calling upon Congress to at 
once enact effective and stringent laws., and make an ample ap¬ 
propriation to stamp out, as soon as possible, every trace of pleuro¬ 
pneumonia, and by a rigid system of quarantine render its impor¬ 
tation impossible. Owners of herds must act together in this 
matter, and demand efficient protection .—American Cultiurtor. 
Large Jersey Heifer. —I have what I think a somewhat re¬ 
markable Jersey heifer calf, not yet ten months old, having seven 
fully-developed teats, and a very broad and clearly-defined escut¬ 
cheon. She is fawn color, with black points, and measures 5 feet 
2 inches from roots of horn to root of tail, and girths 5 feet 7 
inches. For a pure blood Jersey, I consider that quite an un¬ 
usual size, having had no grain whatever. This calf was in heat 
before she was three months old, and has been in same condition 
several times since, but I have thought best not to have her 
served under twelve months old .—Country Gentleman . 
International Exhibition. —An international exhibition of a 
novel character is projected to be held in Paris next autumn, 
under the auspices of the Societe Protectrice des Animaux. The 
catalogue is to include all apparatus, furniture, tfec., connected 
with the breaking and use of horses. It is possible that the ex¬ 
hibition may become extended so as to embrace appliances em¬ 
ployed in the gelations of mankind with other animals. The Cor¬ 
poration of Paris have granted the use of the Pavilion in the 
Champs Elysees for the month of September next for the exhibi-
