A PROLIFIC COW. 
Mr. G. Borrini reports in the Clinica Veterinaria , a case of 
a cow which in thirty-two months from the time of her first deliv¬ 
ery gave birth to eleven calves. 
In 1879 she had two, which lived and were afterwards killed 
for market. 
In 1880, her second pregnancy, she had five, four living and 
a dead one. Of the former, two only were killed for market, the 
others dying a few days after birth. 
In 1881, she gave birth to four more, three females and one 
male. This last soon died. The three females are yet alive, and 
in good prospect of reaching full growth. 
During the three deliveries, the cow did not suffer the slight¬ 
est disturbance .—Clinica Veterinaria.
