DOUBLE PARTURITION IN A MARE—BIRTH OF A COLT AND A DONKEY. 
By M. Blanchard. 
A mare 10 years old, after a rather difficult labor, gave birth 
to a horse colt. Some time afterwards she was observed having 
labor pains again, with violent efforts of expulsion, and the front 
legs of another foetus were soon protruding through the vulva. 
She was delivered then by her owner of a second subject, which 
proved to be a little donkey, which died shortly afterwards. 
The explanation of this singular fact is given as follows : In 
that part of the country it is generally believed that two services 
by the males are most efficacious to have the mare in foal. As it 
is not always easy to have a stallion to do this service, a jackass 
is often used for the second covering, and this is just what took 
place in this instance, the mare having thus been fecundated by 
those two animals of different species.— Journal de Zootechnie.
