FARM ACCIDENTS
Reading edition
A Larimer County farmer lost a valuable cow in a very unusual and distressing manner. The animal, in rummaging through a summer kitchen, found and swallowed an old umbrella and a cake of yeast. The yeast, fermenting in the poor beast’s stomach, raised the umbrella and she died in great agony.
The same day another accident happened. A pan of cream had been left standing in the spring house, and a frog had fallen in and couldn’t get out. He swam and swam around and around, but could get no foothold to climb out. So he stopped swimming and took to kicking instead. He kicked and he kicked till he had kicked the cream into butter, and then climbed out readily.
