and the innovation of a cow wearing six legs, when other 'cows 
were limited to four, vigorously denounced as a monopoly. The 
cow in question, which was exhibited in a shed at the rear of 
West Washington Market, was of average size and covered with 
a suit of somewhat rough, brown hair. The forehead and breast 
were white and the horns curved forward in crescent shape. Her 
keeper said her age was six years, that she was gentle, and recog¬ 
nized him whenever he placed his hand upon her. She stood on 
four legs like any other cows, and the two extra legs growing out 
of the top of the shoulder blade dropped on either side, and in 
shape were exactly like a pair of hind legs. The leg on the right 
side, terminating in an elongated hoof, measured twenty-six inches 
and was at least twenty inches from the ground. The leg on the 
left side measured sixteen inches and was about thirty inches from 
the ground and evidently undeveloped. Looking from the tail of 
the animal toward the head the spine assumed a zigzag line, and 
the buttocks were widely separated, while the hips were unusual* 
ly prominent. She eats bran and hay like any other cow and 
drinks a pail of water a day. She has fine bright eyes, and the 
white hair curling over her forehead gives her quite a fashioaable 
appearance .—New York Herald.
