Court then adjourned for sup- per. re mss mr ere ees At the evening session; Harry B.

They had been drinking together and playing pool, and the affair of the afternoon had been the result. After by the Magistrate that anything he might say could be used again- st him, Reggie was then called and being duly sworn declared that he had not on that day pro- cured, bought, seen, or smelt any liquor or other intoxicating beve- rage, that he had not discussed liquor with anyone, and that he ' had not even been in the places mentioned by Warren. Under a long and grilling cross-examina- tion by the Crown Attorney, he i stuck to his statement, although 'admitting that on some of the 'events of the day his memory was not altogether perfect. 'Spencer followed, and admitted that he had a flask in his posses- sion that morning, but that Gil- banks had not known of it. He had bought the bottle from some man whom he could not descril.c, ' since as he himself was a stranger in town he could not know very i many people. The Crown Attorney expressed himself as highly dissatisfied with i the evidence. Whatever he might think of the O.T.A., he could not lightly regard deliberate perjury. Warren's story was clear and detailed, and that of the others was a straight contradiction and denial. Some one was lying under oath, and he did not intend to let the matter drop there. . Spencer, who had pleaded guil- ty to having a bottle in his pPos- _session, was fined $200 and costs. The 'charge against Gilbanks was dismissed for lack of evidence, i while $10.00 and costs was collec. ted from Warren, who was only accused off drunkenness, - As Spencer had not enough to pay his fine, two spectators ad- vanced the difference to save him from being 'locked up, until he could get the balance, An unhappy oti s 1s lent to the whole rather foolish incide: nt by the fact that a local boy was dragged into it, for whose father the widest sympathy i is expressed. But something of the tragic is introduced when it is known that Warren brought his young bride to Dryden a week ago, and the sordid affair must have been a painful one indeed for her.

There is not a county in the Province from which we have not received for examination hens either dead of, or suffering from, this disease. Almost invariably a letter accompanies such birds stat- ing that deaths are occurring 'in the flock at irregular intervals, the birds usually getting thin and lame before death.

Thanking you in advance, Yours respectfully, ES I TE Tr Tr Tr I SS vanced tuberculosis. spleen and intestines were all badly tubercular. The immediate cause of death had been the rupture of a large blood vessel in the liver due to the development of tubercles. Tuberculosis results in consider- able financial losses to the poultry- man, due to decrease in egg produc- 'tion and heavy mortality in the flocks where it. is present, The disease is chronic rather than acute. - That is, it The liver, velop, gradually lose flesh, turn pale around head, become listless, mopy, and frequently lame, while egg-lay- ing is reduced to a minimum, ~ To be sure, however, condition of birds in a flock is due to tuberculosis it is necessary to hold a post- mortem examination on one of them. The bird should be killed and opened up. If tuberculosis is present, the liver and spleen will be spotted with white or cream-colored spots varying in size from a small pin head to a pea or bean, and in number from a few to thousands. These are the so- the action of the poison secreted by the tuberculosis bacteria which have developed there. These tubercles are frequently found on the intestines and in the lungs and bones as well as examination of a portion of one of these tubercles will show large num- bers of tubercle bacteria present. These tubercle bacteria are the cause of the disease. They are so ¢ small" .as to be altogether invisible without the use of a high power microscope. They\are not the same variety as those which cause tuber- culosis in human beings. Birds suffering from the disease give off large numbers of the bacteria in their droppings. Other birds in the flock scratching around and feed- ing with such birds pick up the bac- teria with their feed and grit and so getf infected. The bacteria .are ab- and get circulated in the blood and lymph streams until they get located in the tissues, more: particularly the liver -and spleen, where they rapidly multiply and secrete their poison. This acts on the tissue immediately around 'them, causin, it to die and turn white and thus become a char- acteristic tubercle. When this disease is. found in a flock if is advisable to kill off all the Then those birds which on examination do-not : show evidence of the disease may be used as food. Those that show the disease should be destroyed by burning or by bury- ing deeply in quicklime. 'Thé entire premises in which the birds have been kept should then be well scrapegy cleaned and thoroughly disinfected" by the application of a disinfectant wash or spray, as quick- lime, zenoleum, cresol, ete. The runs should be well covered with quick- lime and then ploughed in "deeply.
