D., Dec, 12—P. F, Trow- bridge, director *of the experiment station at the North Dakota Agricul- turat college, said recently that the claim that North Dakota chickens were infected by a mysterious di ease was news,to him, “I have heard of no strange malady infect- (ing our chickens,” said Dr. Trow- ‘bridge. “Of course we have known that there is some , tuberculosis among the locks ip this state but not as much as there is in other places.” +That North Dakota would not be materially affected by the embargo was the opinion expressed in Fargo. The great bulk of chickens shipped from this state go to the large pack- ing concerns and dealers in middle west centers, @here ‘the chickens are fattened, killed and dressed for the market,’ it pointed out. DISEASE STRANGLES, CHICKENS Chicago, Dec. 12.--The mysterious disease, which yesterday caused the New York City health department to declare an embargo,on live chickens ae North Dakota, South Daksta; issouri, Kansas, Illifiois, Indiana, Towa and Nebraska, -has spread throughout many sections of the United States, but is especially pre- valent in the middlewest, poultry men attending the national poultry show here said last night. The cause of the ailment, which in almost every c proves fatal, is not known, according to A. G. Phil- ips, professor of poultry husbandry at Purdue university. It settles at the base of the windpipe, which be- comes congested, causing death by ¢ strangulation. The disease is con- ‘tracted when the chickens are in transit or while they are being fat- tened for sale in poultry market feeding batteries. The ailment has been variously termed “flu,” “diph- Philips. The ailment will have little effect on the poultry market: as a whole declared E. L. Platt, editor of the American Poultry Journal, although it has made great inroads into the live chicken trade. The disease is not communicable to humans he said, C. A.
