 the habit becomes fixed, it is hard to break it off". There

 a confirmed cribber (from habit), a good plan is to buckle 

 a strap closely around the neck. 



DISTEMPER (OR STRANGLES). 

 Distemper, or Strangles, as it is sometimes called, is 

 frequently due to sudden changes in the weather, and in 

 the spring and fall of the year, when the animals are 

 shedding their coats, the blood becomes poisoned during 

 the damp, chilly weather. Damp, poorly-ventilated and 

 foul-smelling stables are frequently the cause. The dis- 

 ease is usually contagious, and very few horses escape it.
