DISEASES OF POULTRY. 
protrusion of egg-passage.—operation and recovery. 
Since tlie time, now two years ago, that I commenced a 
series of articles on poultry diseases in these pages, I have 
constantly been indebted to numerous professional friends 
for the reports of interesting cases, and to none more so 
than to Dr. W. C. Gwynne, who has repeatedly done me the 
favour of detailing useful and instructive cases at length, 
as my above communication sufliciently testifies. I will now 
take the liberty of extracting another useful example from 
the same mine. In February, Dr. Gwynne wrote to me—“ A 
few days ago one of my pullets being, I suppose, in over 
good condition, protruded, in the process of laying, the lower 
extremity of the egg-passage, with the egg completely en¬ 
veloped in it; finding that I could not return the parts, nor 
extract the egg by any other means, I made an incision 
where the covering appeared thinnest, and having extracted 
the egg, I returned the parts to their natural position, and 
kept the bird on low diet, so as to prevent for a time the 
formation of more eggs; she has done very well, hitherto, 
hut how she will fare in her next laying remains to he 
proved. You can, perhaps, tell me if the parts are likely to 
resume their functions without much fear of ultimate detri¬ 
ment?” A few days since I inquired respecting this case, 
and was informed “ that the hen has long since perfectly 
recovered, and I think in less than a fortnight after the 
operation was laying as well as ever.” 
I have never seen a precisely parallel case : protrusion of 
the egg-passage I have often seen ; hut in all cases the egg 
either has been laid, or was still contained in the body; the 
former cases I have always cured by returning the parts 
and putting the hen on a diet of rice or potato ; the latter 
cases have been much more dangerous, as the continued 
efforts to expel the egg increases the mischief, and the 
result is generally fatal. 
In all cases of severe disease of the egg-organs, it is most 
desiraltlo to arrest the production of eggs for a time; this is 
July 27. 
best accomplished by employing varieties of food which con¬ 
tain hut a small amount of flesh.fovming substances. Oat¬ 
meal, therefore, or meddlings, would be most objectionable 
in such cases; but rice or potato, which contain a very small 
per centage of egg-making or nutritive materials, should be 
used.—W. B. Tegetmeipr, Jrifcsdai.
