CAKEu UDDER.-A gentleman communi-
Gates to the editor OF the UoHtestcad, Il state
ment in regard to the cure OF one of his COWS
of caked udder, which is well worthy Of re-
cord He states that the COW came from the
pasture with her bag swollen very hard, in
such severe pain that she would not allow
any one to touch it, but gave every evidence
Of being in tl= most excruciat;ng agony.
She was held, and her der bathcd with
cold water for some time without producing
any effect, and other usual applications were
resorted to; finally, knowing the effect Of
tinctuTe of a. Mica IN allaying pain with the
human subject, lie brought some and applied
a little Of It TO tie bag. The COW ceased
struggling, and almost Immediately gave
evident manifestation Of pleasure, blowing
the swollen and hard mass TO be rubbed and
kneaded. After another application cf the
arnica and again rubbing, complete cure
was effected and in few days she regaincd
her milk and became in as good case as be-
fore. The use Of arnica, If its virtues were
Known. would become much more general
1t relieves pain and soreness of-the skin and
muscles both in nIsa and animals, without
the disagTeeao!e accompaniment of many
other applications. The tincture is the best
form for external application.
As ArnirI used ~ directed in the above is
a Homeopathic remedy, we presume it will
be considered by thar class Of medical prac
tiIiOners as proof, to some extent, Of Tie
correctness of their views, ~ Il of the utility
Of their notifications to irrational animals,
no less than to human beings. We vii
willingly publish any well authenticated facts
which 20 to prove that any Of our domestic
animals are susceplibl: of being innuenc,
by iu:iHitcsim&l discs, or cureI Of any d;s-
ease thereby.

Mr.. jefferson, speaking of farming, says:
Whatever may be your choice OF future
Observation-Disclosures calling or profession
YOU may select, there IS certainly none more
honorable than that Of a farmer. The pa
triarch of the fields, as he sits beside his
cottage door when his daily toll is over,
feels an inward calm never known IN the
halls Of pride. His labor yields him u,i-
purchasable health and rspose. nave CO.

thrown around them the tEse! OF imaginary
respectability. Hence the farmer, instead
OF preparing his child in the path of useful
ness himself has trod, educateS him for 4
