For cribbing, give the horse in his
feed, daily for few weeks, one dram
of copperas and half an ounce of ground
ginger, and feed. him upon cut feed
with crushed or ground grain, and an
ounce OF salt in each feed. This will do
very well during the incipient stages OF
the disease; but when it has become a
habit the better way is to arrange the
stall so the horse has nothing to crib
upon, and fix his manger low so he will
have his head down, which naturally
indisposes the horse to cribbing.
