A bill which was favorably reported TO
the Sixty-third congress for the survey of
such u road failed to pass. At thta time

the road was not necessary from a militia

the business of the treasury and mmigra-
tion departments along the Rio Grande

Of the road.
The value of this proposed highway
from a military point OF view has heeh
materially changed by events of the past
few months. The presence of vast bodies

TumorS and Cancers In !,
Poultry==Prevalence, Causes

Orono, Me-. July 31.-tSpeciaD.-T
following was made public today by
Charles D. Woods. director Of the
Maine Agricultural Experiment station
at the University Of Maine:
For the last eight years it has been
the routine practice at the Maine
Agricultural Experiment Station to
make autopsies on al! birds that either
die from natural causes or are killed
by accident or for data. In making
these autopsies it has been the uniform
practice to record the presence Of
tumors, the organs in which they 90
cur, and whether or not the tumor is
of cystic or solid structure. No fur
Their study has been made of any
tumor. The data are collected primar-
lily because Of the possible effect Of
the presence Of the tumor on the other
data taken. OF the $50 birds on which
autopsies were performed carefully.
70, or approximately 10 per cent had
tumors of one sort or another. If we
may consider these $50 birds a random
sample of fowls as a whole, we may
conclude that there are about 80 cases
of tumors per 1000 fowls. From these
figures it is evident that tumors and
cancers are a significant source Of dis
ease and death in poultry. Anything
which affects 10 per cent Of all birds
dying is factor to be reckoned with.
Thorough analysis Of our records
shows that the probability Of a fowl
developing a tumor or cancer of any
sort increases with the age Of the bird.
Thus it is shown that while only about
z per cent of the females under ~
years have tumors, about 20 per cent
Of those over IN years are affected.
The results for males agree essentially
with those for females.
In birds with tumors which die from
natural causes the tumors are directly
or indirectly the probable cause of
death in from one-third to one-half
Of the cases. 1t has been found that

there is decided tendency for On.
largement Of various vital organs, par

be associated with the presence II
| tumors In other organs. A certain
proportion Of the cases Of so-called
| liver disease in poultry. where the
liver is greatly enlarged. undoubtedly
depend for their origin upon some un-
| discovered tumor or cancer Of some
other organ. Death often results in
such cases from internal bleeding from
either the tumor itself, the underlying
| tissue. or the enlarged liver or spleen.
In hens and pullets the organs which
are most frequently affected with tu-
mors are those concerned in egg laying.
namely the ovafy, or egg cluster, and
the oviduct. or egg tube. It has been
found in connection with laying con-
tests all over the world that high lay
ing hens are particularly apt to have
tumors of their egg producing organs
In the case Of the statistics compiled
at the Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station SO per cent Of all the turnors
were found in the ovary or egg cluster,
and Is per cent in the oviduct or egg
tube

any satisfactory treatment Of this con-
dition. AS a matter Of fact, it 10
usually not known that bird has d
tumor or a cancer until after death has
occurred and then it is much too late
to apply treatment with any hope Of
success. Tumors or cancers are not
contagious. The occurrence Of tumors
and cancers with the frequency shown
In these statistics may probably best
be regarded as the penalty which the
poultryman pays for the high activity
Of the reproductive organs which we
demand of our laying hens at the pres
ent time. Birds which are bred and
fed for high egg production are un-
questionably much more liable to dis
eases of this sort than were the barn
yard fowls Of our forefathers.
