No. 63.] 37 



ploma is awarded, Mr. Mott having received the highest premium for 

 the same article, at the last State Fair. 



And last, though not least in importance, among the various arti- 

 cles presented for our inspection, is a very useful, and beautifully 

 constructed and improved Probang, invented by Mr. Daniel Caley of 

 Bethlehem, Albany co., for relieving choked and hoven or bloated 

 cattle. This implement is calculated for the removal of potatoes, ap- 

 ples, or other substances, with which any ox or cow may be choked, 

 without any considerable pain to the animal, and with perfect safety. 

 It will, without the least difficulty, extract from the stomach of a 

 bloated animal, the saliva, gas, or wind, and thus effect an instant 

 cure. It is an article so much needed by every grower of cattle, that 

 the committee would be glad to see them in the possession of all our 

 farmers, and would urgently recommend to the Executive Committee, 

 to award to Mr. Caley, a discretionary premium or silver medal.
