as colts at pasture often come into win
ter quarters inveterate cribbers. While
most veterinarians have given the sub
ject considerable study. no specific has
yet been discovered for this trouble
Many suggestions as to food, time OF
feeding, watering, ventilation, wear
ing certain kinds of bits and other ap-
pliances are offered, but they usually
prove of but little value.
When cribbing the animal grasps the
top of post. rail, fence, manger or any
object within reach that can be adj
mitted between the jaws; hence, If
these objects be removed it is plain
that the act of cribbing cannot take
place, and as partial preventive while
in the stable slightly concave man
ger is erected, being for a Inland
horse three feet from the floor. Its
general position is shown in the sketch
by L. D. Shook. It is as long as the
manger is wide and not less than 81
feet wide. The center is depressed six
inches at a, on both sides of the stall,
is secured a chain or strap with
snap in one end of which is snapped
into each side of the halter. While the
horse has free use of his jaws and can
eat freely any food placed within GER
tain radius, he is so confined that he
cannot reach the front side OF the
manager and if the top of the manger
be covered with sheet iron, no attempt
will be made to grasp this fiat surface.
The continuance may be hinged to the
front of the stall and folded up out OF
the way at night or when not in use.
If need be it can be placed directly
above one of the common hangers OF
course the horse should have more
freedom at night.-American Agricul-

4 Contrivance Calculated to Cure Horses
OF had Habit.
When horse acquires the habit OF
cribbing its market value and endur-
ance are somewhat reduced. There are,
however, . few exceptions to this,
some of the most persistent cribbers
being noted for their free driving and
staying power as roadsters. The habit
of cribbing is clearly attributable to
domestication. as it is said to be un-
known among the wild horses on the
plains The cause is usually attributed
to indigestion and the impure air of
stables While this may be the lead
ing cause in many cases it is not in all

When our state was admitted into
the union it was a vast prairie. Trees
We're found only sl1irting the numerous
small streams which carry the numer-
Gus waters to the sea. Artificial groves
were almost unknown. Now, IN the
eastern part of the state the pTairies
are dotted with beautiful groves, offer

weary husbandman. The whole aspect
of the country has been changed. IN
many of the eastern counties Ii has
more the appearance Of a timber coun-
try which as been partially cleared.
1t was a wise suggestion of one of
my distinguished predecessors that q

people of the state to planting out
trees. Every school house and every
church in the state should he sur
