Aspergillosis 
A large heavy hen appeared to hav« 
obstruction in throat, choking and gasp¬ 
ing at first. Later membrane of mouth 
and throat had small spots that looked 
like white mould; loss of appetite. Fear¬ 
ing this might be contagious the hen has 
been killed. Choking and gasping in¬ 
creased as disease progressed. What was 
the trouble, and was it contagious? 
Vermont. l. w. s. 
Patches of white mold actually form 
upon the membranes of the mouth and 
respiratory passages of fowls at times. 
These are caused by the mold Aspergillus 
fumigatus, which ordinarily has its home 
upon decaying animal and vegetable mat¬ 
ter, hut may transfer itself to the pas¬ 
sages of birds. When this mold finds 
access to the deeper breathing passages 
of the fowl, it does choke the bird. Open 
, the mouth of any such fowl seen gasping 
for breath and. if a ring of whitish or 
yellowish mold growth can he seen at 
the entrance of the windpipe, remove it 
gently with a sliver of wood long enough 
to reach it. Paint any other spots of 
like nature with tincture of iodine, un¬ 
diluted. B. D.
