Rooster With Two Horns Dispenses With Spurs
Hot Springs, Ark.--Now the rooster
has joined the list of horned animals.
At least one rooster has, for on the
Arkansas alligator farm in Hot
Springs is a large white rooster with
two horns sticking out from his head,
one on either side. The horns, which
are of bone and about two or three
inches long, give the rooster a most
uncanny appearance.
This freak bird, unlike his brothers,
has practically no spurs to use in his
fights. Nature, after giving him these
horns, apparently decided that spurs
were useless, and they seem to be, for
it is said that one look at his horns
is enough to set the other roosters
going in the opposite direction.
