Gaucho throws the lasso 60 or 70 feet, previously marking the 
horn or foot of the animal he intends to capture. 
Soon both the Gaucho and his horse will cease to exist, for 
agriculture, which is improving year after year, will force him to 
become civilized, while the original Gaucho horse, through cross¬ 
ing with the noble Traeheuer, will change into a new species, 
harmoniously uniting the durability and toughness of the former 
with the beauty of the latter. 
The same author makes the following flattering comments upon 
an essay read before the New England Agricultural Society, Wor¬ 
cester, Mass., 1879, (from the fertile pen of onr colleague, Mr. 
Billings): 
It gives us great pleasure to note here, with full acknowledg¬ 
ment, an essay from the New World, which was copied in the 
Turf, Field and Farm , N. Y., Sept., 1879, and read before an 
Agricultural Society, pertaining to the study of comparative 
pathology and the education of scientifically qualified veterinari¬ 
ans. We deem a reproduction of the same superfluous, since we 
have sufficiently dwelt upon the development of the intended 
branch of science in the first volume of our Jaerbuecher. We 
trust henceforth to be able to refer often to American veterinary 
acquisitions in our journal.
