Very serious losces have been in curred in the poultry industry of the United States through tuberculosis, in most cases without the owners know ing what had caused the trouble. This disease is chronic and infectious, char acterized by tubercules or nodules, re sembling the tuberculosis of other ani mials..and man. In many instances it has been called spotted liver, liver com plaint, or rheumatism, and affected birds are described as "going light." Found in Many Species of Hirds Tuberculosik exists in many species of birds. among them fowl, turkey, pigeon, duck, goose, guinea fowl, pea fowl, ostrich, parrot, canary, pheas ant, sparrow, and swan. Among wild birds it is m5ost d' t - those in zoological gardens. Of all domes ticated birds the fowl shows the high est mortality. The worst feature of the disease is its insidious manner of attack. It is dlificult to combat because there are no v'isible symptoms until the malady is far advanced, and in the meantime the bird may be spreadling the disease among others of the (lock. Adkded to this is the fact that medical treatment of tuberculosis in Jowls is futile; hence measures for combating it must be of a preventiv'e nature. The United States D)eaartment of Agriculture finds the most thorough method of eradlication is to slaughter the entire flock when indications point to an ex tensive outbreak- Fowls in good flesh, showing no lesions or slight ones may be used for food. T1hose badly (diseasedl, andl all -visceral orga' should be destroyedl. Disinfect the Poultry Yards Chicken houses, inclosed runs, and all enating, d riniking, and other' uten sils should be cleanedl and dlisin fected thoroughly with a strong solution of such germicides as carbol ic acid, cresol bichlorid of mercury, formaldehyde, or any recognized coal-tar preparation or (lip. Carbolic acid may be usedl in 5 per cent solution, comp~oundl cresol int 3 per cent solution, bichlorid of met ((try in a solution of 1 par to 500 parts of water, and formaldehyde in the proportion of 1 Part of commercial formalin to 10 parts of water.

Tuberculosis of fowls, known also as avian tuberculosis, is caused by a microorganism closely resembling the bacilli .of human - and bovine tubereu losis. It may also attack other ani mals. Pigs exposed to tuberculosis flocks become infected frequently, and display localized tubercles in the lymph glands of the head, neck, and mesentery. Rats and mice also may contract the disease naturally. Bacil li of the avian type have been found oil several occasions in tuberculous persons. The danger to man, however is slight, especially since cooking the flesh of fowls destroys the bacilli. The principal danger would be the eating of raw eggs from tuberculous fowls; but as eggs are only occasionally in fected and as man is naturally highly resistant to avian tuberculosis, the chances of infection are considered slight. From a hygienic, standpoint only birds, pigs, rats, and mice oe cupy a significant position in natural susceptibility of avian tuberculosis. Brought in by Fowls, Not Egg Tuberele bacilli may be introduced on a farm or poultry establishment in several ways. A mong these are the addition to the flock of birds from an infected flock, exposure to a neigh boring infected flock ranging over the same ground, infection of the premises bmy free-flying birds, esp)ecially pig eons fro miinfect ed flocks, and car riers such as man or animals, whose shoes or feet may carry infected droppinlgs from a nearby farm. Tuber ele bacilli are found sometimes in eggs from tuberculous fowls, and there is a possibility of inltrodlucing tuberculosis from eggs obtained for hatching. Ihowever, most eggs that harbor this organism fail to hatchI, andl thereby redutce to a minimum the chances of infection by this means. If such in feet ed egm.s nare fed uncooked to the chiickens, however, the disease may be come established in the flock. The extent to which affected birds may scatter the infection depends up on the stage -the lesions have reached -in individuals. TIhe outlet for the tu herculous Organisms is princip~ally through the intestinal canal by means of droppings. The o!der birds, whmich have harbored tuberculosis for months or even for one or two years, andl are badly diseased, give off infection to he greatest dlegree, andl hence are he miost dlangerous to uininfected birds. A ltho~ugh the birds may b'ecome in fected at any age, the dlisease is rnot readily detected by ordinary obser vamt ion in those less than 1 cear old. It in those from 2 to 3 years old1 which are mot likely to display noticeable symiptoms and sho4w a high dleath I rate. One of the first sympltoms is grad ual emaciation, which becomes espec ially noticeable in the breast muscles. These diminish in sizc until it advan - cedl cases there is scarcely anmy flesh left on thme breast bone.

'lhe appetite retains good. There is no rise inl temperature, a iormal range of 106 to 108 F. being maintained un til shortly befor'e death, when the temperature drops several degrees. le Suspicious of Lame Fomls Lameness in one or both legs, or drooping of one or both rings, is often observed, and may le the first symp tom shown. These result from the de velopment in joints of the wings or legs of tubereles, which cause painful swellings. The swellings may break down and discharge a cheesy material, As the disease advarces the comb, wattles, skin of head, and membranes in the mouth an dabout the eyes be come pale. The eye remains bright. The feathers are ruffled. The birds grows listless, weak, moves about lit tle, and is easily caught. Diarrhea with greenish or yellowish droppings leads to complete exhaustion. -0 SPECIAL CARE OF SEED CORN BRINGS INCREASED YI EL1 Dependable seed corn for any lo cality, ii the opinion of the United States Department of Ayriculture, is that which under the local conditions will produce the most abundant crop of good quality. Corn yields usually atre lower because seed of first quality has not been planted. Dependablk seed corn always permits timely plani ing, thus giving the crop added oppor tunity for growth (luring the mosl favorable period. The department's corn specialists have been conducting experiments it the selection, curing, and storage of seed corn. One of the most striking ADMINISTRATOR'S SALE Pursuant to an order of J. M.
