Speaking of a cow with two tails,
owned by a Missourian, the Kansas
City Journal says: “It is said by the
owners that during the summer
months when the cows were being
w orried by flies and in consequence j
gave but little milk, the double-tailed
maintained her average. Ordinarily
when a cow switches her tail around
on one side the flies assemble on the.
opposite. This cow was able to switch
on both sides at the same time, and
this so confused the pests that they
ceased worrying her.”
