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.
