GINGERSNAPS KILL COWS.
Herd of Maryland Bovines Make a Midnight Raid on the Sweets and
 All Die as Result.

Edward M. Gillet, 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 Hereford cows died after a too free in- dulgence in the American delicacies men, toned He valued the cows at $250 each. MT. Gillet. like many farmers of the coun- ty, has been in the habit of buying these cakes by the ton and feeding them to his cattle and hogs in small quantities. Sat- urday night the bar door was left open and II of his cows got into the building and ate ginger snaps and cakes till they could eat no more. Dr. Dicksnson Cor such, of Glencoe, was called in, but he could do nothing to relieve them. First one and then another would fall to the 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.
