Curing IN CrIhher
A mare was given me, says writer III
Country Gentleman, her fore leg being
broken, and as we are not to look gift
horse in the mouth I said nothing to hel
former owner about the habit she had o.
cribbing. When I got her I had nc
stable room for her, so 1 gave her one o.
my calf pens and fed her in box on the
floor for three weeks, during which time
she showed no signs of cribbing. ther
concluded to raise her manger, so tina
when she ate out of the box the back O.
her neck was a little higher than he
back. She began cribbing at once. 1
was not long before I made up my mint
that it was an old habit, for which sh,
had been whipped, for when standing
close to her head while she was cribbin,
she would Jump and throw up her head
as if in fear of being whipped. the
began feeding her as before, in a bo
resting on the ground, and she did no
crib at all when thus fed. then fed he
few oats from the measure, setting
in the manger, and then she cribbed a
usual. l then made her manager on tn
ground and from that time to this sh
does not crib in the stable, except On tn
top bar that separates her from tn
calves, it being about four feet high. T
prevent this ] tie her so she cannC
reach anything higher than her 10,
manger. When in the yard as soon g
she gets to the fence she cribs as usua
unless [ prevent it by tying her halle
just below the knee, so she cannot g
her head higher than her back. III
length of halter from chin to knee is,
think, about two and half feet. 1t ms

A box stall, with very low mango
would evidently be good.
Cutting Fodder.
The following communication from I
Ives, Batavia, N. Y, was read to I'll
American farmers club: "I won
corroborate the statement of Mr.. Ia
ner, of Minnesota, in his communicate
to the club, saying that it pays to G.
his corn fodder, and could answer b
inquiry for an elevator to carry the c
feed up to the barn, storing it away as
is cut. So would cut cornstalks up
my own advantage, even if it made the
no better for the cattle, and feed the
literally that they may leave all til
they do not like, which will clean O
once day to use for their bedding.
agree with Mr.. Yeamans that the cuttil
chine will be abandoned if run
and power, for to run it successfully
should be driven by horse power. Al
this saying that it made their mout
sore, reminds me of good advice Civ
me years ago by an oldlssfeeder, IL
stalks should be cut for cattle two
