Is generally supponod. It is especially
destructive to flocks in the North mid
West. The course of tho dlsoaso is
slo'v, Fymptoins are apparent, only In
the late stages, and tho mortality Is
high. The danger to man, however, Is
slight, especially, since cooking the
flesh of fowls destroys the tubercle
bacilli. Trontnient of fowls affected
Is declared to be useless, but disease
may bo stamped out by methods dos

Of all domesticated birds the fowl
shows by far tho highest mortality
from tuberculosis. Tho dlscaso has
spread so extensively In some states as
to cause very serious losses to the
poultry Industry. The Insiduous man.
nor of attack makes it most difficult
to combat, because uffeced birds show
no visible symptoms until the dlscaso
processes are far ndvonccd, and li
the meantime It hns been comniWui
cated to tho others of the flock.
Avian tuberculosis, as It is some
times called, Is caused by a microor
ganism closely resembling the bacilli
of human and boviho tuberculosis.
While, primarily, it affects birds, It
mny also attack other animals. Pigs
exiscd fto tuberculous flockH fre
quently aro affected, and display lo
calized tubercles In the lymph glands
of the head, neck, and mesentery.
Rata and mice also may contract the
disease naturally. Bacilli of the avian
typo have been found in tuberculous
persons. The principal danger to nu-
mans Is In eating raw eggs from tub'
erculous fowls, as eggs may be in
fected v'Hh the bacilli. However, no
hion Is considered quite resistant to
the avian type of tuberclo bacilli, the
Cluinoof, of Infection nre doubtless

Tuberculosis may be introduced on
a farm In several ways, such as re

neighboring infected flocks using

most usual being slaughtering, aro the

hunters for the lonn of his dog. Final

wasn't a better water dog living until
you shooting gents took to borrowing
him. Now his hide Is so full of shot

bert wrote back regretting that he
could not comply with the request. "I
