GINGERSNAPS KILL COWS.

Edward M. Glllet, of Venora, Baltimore
county, Md., has lost $2,750 worth of prize
■ cattle because of their Inordinate ap- |
, petite for aged ginger snaps, mixed and
fruit cakes. Eleven of his fine herd of
j Hereford cows died after a too free In- j
dulgence In the American delicacies men
tioned. He valued the cows at $250 each.
Mr. Glllet. like many farmers of the coun- j
ty, has been In the habit of buying theee
j | cakes by the ton and feeding them to his
cattle and hogs In small quantities. Sat
i urday night the bar door was left open
[ and 11 of his cows got Into the building
j and ate ginger snaps and cakes till they
, could eat no more. Dr. Dickenson Gor
t such, of Glencoe, wai called In, but he
1 could do nothing to relieve them. First
J one and then another would fall to the
1 ground and die. Dr. Gorsuch said death
was caused by the large quantity of the
cakes eaten. They being In a dry state,
caused the cows to drink freely of water,
with fatal results.
