Department of Agriculture to Great Britain to investigate the 
grounds upon which the British Government based its regulations 
as regards the importation of American cattle, has submitted a 
report, from which the following brief extract is given: “ As a 
result of my conference wrth the authorities of Great Britain 
upon the subject, it may be safely said that the impressions which 
they held regarding the health in this respect of our western 
herds have been materially changed, and that lungs having a cer¬ 
tain appearance, heretofore considered as being that of pleuro¬ 
pneumonia, will not be so considered in the future .”—Cultivator 
and Country Gentleman. 
Cribbing Cured by Electricity. —An invention to prevent 
horses from cribbing has recently been tried in Paris. Mr. A. 
Angstrom has constructed an apparatus by which an electrical 
stream is led to the mouth of the horse as soon as it touches the 
manger. The horse which thus receives a shock will soon be 
cured of the bad habit of crib biting. The edge of the crib is 
for this purpose connected with two copper bands, which are sep¬ 
arated from each other by a plate of caoutchouc, to which they 
are fastened. Each band communicates with the pole of an 
electrical battery, so that as soon as the horse bites the crib he 
touches one of the copper bands, uniting a spring which con¬ 
nects the electrical chain, and the shock is given.— Turf , Field
