Valuable Cows Lost
RESULT OF EATING WIRE SYDNEY, Feb. 14. The Tweed-Lismore Pastures Protection Board’s stock inspector, Mr C. J. Woollett, reported an unusual case to the board at its last meeting. A farmer at Wyrallah lost three milking cows, all showing tho same symptoms. Mr Woollett said that death' was due to the puncturing of the heart by a foreign body. The owner was sceptical, but. when a fourth animal died a post-mortem disclosed a piece of wire in the heart. In a near by grazing paddock was an old piece of wire rope about 100 yards long, and examination showed that large .numbers of small pieces of this wire had rusted off, and been picked up by the cows when grazing.

At tho inquest in London on a woman who drank five bottlos of wine a day, the coroner said that this was ono of the most extreme cases of alcoholism with which he had over had to deal.
