Science has at last discovered why
the turkey is so scarce that its prize e
has become prohibitive for many
Thanksgiving table--the big bird has
been literally wiped out in New En-
gland by appendicitis. More than this
the disease has spread as far south as
Virginia, and is already Invading
Michigan, which, UT to the present
time has for years been the chief breed
ing place OF turkeys.
SO serious is the danger of a virtua.
extinction of the Irrational bird'' th9t
q through investigation of the causes
of the disease and its possible proven
ton is being made by such well-kno .n
scientists as DIR. Theobald Smith and
DR.. f. f. Ty zzer, Of the Harverd Med
zeal School and by DR.. Philip B. Had
ley, of the State experiment station
of Rhode Island.
The same disease which has deci-
mated turkeys has of late spread to
game birds, such as partridge and
quail, and the investigation in this
special line is being prosecuted by DR..
George w. Field, of the Massachu
fish aud game commission. The fin d.
ing of all these men have agreed that
old fashioned "turkeyailp or "back-
head" which thousands of farmers
have b walled as the bane of valuable
focks Of Thanksgiving birds, is only
the outward sign of disease, which
starts from small living organism,
aud which produces in the intestines
of the turkey or partridge an infiam-
nation similar to that of appendicitis
in man.
The organism which infects the
doomed birds has been variously ident.
lied simply as an amoeba and more
, specifically termed the "coccidium
avium," but under either name it has
done its work and the experts unite in
saying that once the disease has at
tackled a partridge or game bird
there is no hope. Although the disease
is almost exactly the same, and in the
same location as appendicitis in man,
nobody had thought it worth while to
perform an operation of appendictomy
on birds.
