clusion that a positive reaction to avian tuberculin in pulmonary tuberculosis
does not indicate latent infection with the avian tubercle bacillus. It is concluded
that tuberculosis does not develop in chickens when they have been
inoculated intravenously or intraperitoneally with large amounts of mammalian
tubercle bacilli.
Pasty eyes in ducklings, H. J. STAFSETH (Jour. Amer. Vet. Med. Assoc., 79
(1931), No. 5, pp. 638-640; abs. in Michigan Sta. Quart. Butl., 14 (1932), No. 3,
p. 217).-This is an account of an outbreak of a disease in ducklings which
occurred in a large duck-raising establishment in Michigan, characterized by
so-called " watery eyes," "pasty eyes," or " scaly eyes." The negative results
of the bacteriological work and the strikingly gradual and regular improvement
following the change in the feed of the breeding stock indicated that
this disease might be of nutritional origin.
Arthritis and periostitis in pheasants caused by Staphylococcus pyogenes
aureus, N. HOLE and H. S. PURCHASE (Jour. Compar. Path. and Ther., 44 (1931),
No;. 4, pp. 252-257, fig. 1).-A disease affecting the joints and bones of young
pheasants on an estate in North Wales was investigated and discovered to
be due to infection with S. pyogenes aureus. It was found that S. pyogenes
citreus may rarely also assume the role of causative agent. A peracute
septicemic form, with no joint lesions, was occasionally met with. The organisms
appeared to be disseminated primarily by the blood stream, the
disease resolving itself either into an acute septicemia or a chronic arthritis.
The reasons for this opinion are that birds dying in plump condition of
septicemia showed no lesions, that birds showing joint lesions were poor or
emaciated, and that joints of the wings as well as joints of the leg were frequently
found affected. Infection by wounds seemed the most probable route,
and thistles were suspected as being the wounding agents. Efforts at immunization
were not successful, but the subject was not thoroughly investigated
as protective inoculation did not appear feasible from the practical standpoint.
The new anthelmintic medications [trans. title], A. HENRY (Rec. Mdd.
6t-., 107 (1931), No. 11, pp. 730-762).-This is a review of the present knowledge
of the value of anthelmintics, much of the information as relates to the
equine, bovine, sheep, goat, hog, rabbit, dog, cat, and poultry being summarized
graphically in tabular form.
AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING
Agricultural engineering, S. J. WRIGHT (In Agricultural Research in 1930.
London: Roy. Agr. Soc. England, 1931, pp. 81-107).-This contribution from the
Institute for Research in Agricultural Engineering of Oxford University is
a review of the progress of research in agricultural engineering, more especially
in European countries during 1930. It contains sections on the testing
of agricultural machinery, drainage, power, and agricultural implements.

BORST, J. S. CUTLER, L. E. T'HATOHER, E. A. SILVETR. [I. P.] BLAUSER, G. W.
MCCUEN, N. R. BEAR, V. L. OVERHOLT, and H. R. HOYT (Ohio Sta. Bul. 497
(1932), pp. 27-29, 31, 32, 157-166, 169, 170, figs. 8).-Progress results of investigations
are reported on the furrow grain drill v. the ordinary drill for
wheat; power requirements of a threshing machine; weed control in soybeans;
rate of drying of grain in windrows, shocked, and uncut; combining on
side hills; weed control in open drainage ditches; the effect of joint space on
the efficiency of tile drains; plow draft; and power requirements of grinding
red and white varieties of oats,
