Brutality TO Cows.
A correspondent sends us the particu-
lars of the loss of valuable COW from
large tumor upon the udder. The
cause of the tumOr-which was really
what is known as neutral hernia of rup-
ture of the abnormal sac-was kick
by brutal attendant. | have seen
thoughtless persons angered by what
they were led to regard as stubborn
ness or viciousness of COW, and for
getting the serious danger Of kick or
heavy blow, thus abuse the poor animal
whose only fault was bewilderment at
the violent and unreasonable treatment
to which she was subjected. Nothing
could be more cruel and injurious, or
foolish, for in this way a man destroys
his own valuable property. Repeated
ly have applications for advice about
swellings, tumors, and infamatory dis
orders of cows and oxen, which are,
more than probable, in great part due
i'll treatment of this character, or ac-
cidents from injuries by other cattle,
which might have been avoided by care
and watchfulness.
