The entire assembly of Britain’s Lords and Commons, with Lloyd George and a few other noble exceptions, might drop into a. hole in the ground and remain there, and the British Empire would still survive. Britain’s strength in this hour is not in the hands of her statesmen, but in the hearts of her strokers. A navy headed by Lord Fisher, an army headed by Lord Kitchener, financed by the leadership of men like Lloyd George, and sustained by the sacrifices of the people, would safe- guard the British Empire and ensure 'victory for the allies despite every temp~ orary dislocation in the machinery of Government at London.â€"Toronto Teleâ€" gram.

Higgins, B. s. D. V. s. of the Biological Laboratory is the: author. While the disease has been? known to affect all Species of fowl, it is? usually seen in its most aggravated and ‘ fatal form in turkeys. Dr. Theobald; Smith, of the United States Department1 of Agriculture, made an investigation in i Rhode Island during 1894 and 1895, but! it was not until 1900 that the first men- 5 tion was made of it in the Experimental i Farms Report of Canada. It has since, ‘ how',e1er been repeatedly reported upon‘ in the biological laboratories both at: 3Ottawa and Guelph. Dr. Higgins saysE Ethat the losses from the disease have’ been enormous, which supplies excellent ‘ reason for a close study of the Bulletin. l “The extent of these losses”, he further isays, “is well indicated by the fact that ltwo decades 11110 a sinule small island I (Block Island) nff the Rhode Island coast iprovided two tons of marketable birds ! each year. Five hundred pounds are not lav ailable in the same locality today !Statements are also current that in localities 1n Ontario where ten carloads. 1iwere to be had eiuht years ago it g is now difficult to secure two carloads. i The reason given by for the fallingr off in i production is the diflic ultyo of rearinI: : stock that can withstand this infection} This quotation is sulhcient to indicate the importance of this Bulletin. which treats of the origin and course of the disease and 1 of its prevention and cure. Appxopiiate plain and colouied illustrations add to ' the value of the publication. The second Bulletin numbered 18 has? for its title, “Avian Tuberculosis". hr. Higgins, Pathologist, and A. B.
