A district farmer relates a most amazing instance in connection with a cow’s tenacity of life and powers of recuperation (says the Waina “Post”). One of his dairy herd was missed one day, and during the next, three days the owner diligently searched, believing tin animal had got into some syamp company and become hogged. After three days of fruitless search lie concluded the l>est was now a had debt but later—l 3 days after the cow disappeared—the owner and a iriciul were quartering the swamp, hoping thoir olfactory organs would guide them to the carcass. Imagine their surpriso to find the cow alive with only the hack and head showing. She had cropped every vestige of vegetation within reach, and thus managed to sustain life. She was hauled out on to firm ground with the aid of horses, and after a spell was got to the homestead. where special attention was given her to aid recovery. Ihe animal is now very much alive, and though a veritable hag of hones she is still being milked daily. The owner says the skin of the cow lias lost all hair except that part that was not submerged, and she was terribly emaciated. hut lie is hopeful that she will make n good recovery.
