UNDOUBTEDLY fowl typhoid is transmitted to susceptible chickens in a variety of ways. Hall (1946) stated that the sick bird is the most dangerous spreader of fowl typhoid and the carrier bird is probably the most important perpetuator of the disease. Gauger (1934) and Kaupp and Dearstyne (1923) also agreed that the carrier chicken is a good source of fowl typhoid transmission. According to Hall (1946), improper disposal of dead chickens is one of the greatest factors in spreading and perpetuating fowl typhoid in a community. Moore (1946) incriminated the turkey buzzard and the rat as potential spreaders of fowl typhoid. He also observed that a certain percentage of chicks hatched from eggs produced by fowl typhoid reactors may be infected with the disease, but dismissed flies and mating as factors in disseminating the causative organism, Salmonella gallinarum. Beaudette (1925), Hall (1946) and Moore (1946) suggested the possibility of transmitting . . .
