BAG, among farriers, is when, in order to retrieve a horse's lost appetite, they put in an ounce of asafœtida, and as much powder of savin, into a bag, to be tied to the bit, keeping him bridled for two hours, several times a-day; as soon as the bag is taken off he will fall to eating. The same bag will serve a long time.
