I include a cut of a form of bit to prevent this, for which much is claimed. A practical horseman of ex- perience gave me the point. He claimed that it would Avork perfectly in preventing the inclination to crib and suck wind. I include it on the strength of his statement. Procure a piece of gas-pipe about seven inches long. Drill a hole across each end, through which put in rings, as seen in cut; next, drill four or five holes, as shown in cut. The theory is that the gas ^"'''- made of gas-pipe for prevcntiug cribbing and wind-sucking. in the stomach can not escape through the mouth on account of its being closed, and that instinctively the horse will bite on something to open the mouth and throw off the gas. With this bit in the mouth, the air passes through the small holes in the cen- ter, and out through the ends. I would be glad if those interested would give it a trial, and report to me. It is safe and inexpensive. The gen- tleman referred to positively assured me that in scA^eral cases known to him it worked with perfect success. Putting the Tongue out of the Mouth. If the tongue is put over the bit, have a piece of thin sheet-iron, about two and a half inches wide and five inches long, with the ends rounding, and the edges filed smooth. Drill two small holes (see cut) near each edge, at the cen- ter, and fasten to the bit. Shorten the cheek-pieces of the bridle, so that the bit is drawn well up
