DR.. NCClintock Of the University Of
Michigan has performed experiments
which indicate that eggs may become
infected with microbes before they are
laid. A healthy hen, after repeated
washings in sterilized solutions, was
placed in a stcrilized cage. As soon az
possible after being laid aportion Of her
eggs were placed in 5terilized cotton and
then III an incubator. All these eggs de-
cayed and syarmed with bacteria. The
remaining eggs Were taken as soon as
laid, and cultures were made from their
contents. Some Of these culture tubes
developed; others remained sterile. Aft.
er some days the hen was killed, and
with proper aseptic precautions culture
tubes were inoculated from various por-
tions Of the oyiduct. Most Of these tubes
developed. 1t would thus seem probable
that the putrefactive bacteria entered
tho egg in its passage down the oviduct
and before the shell was formed
