OmOus Reptiles With Impunity.

Hogs and Black Snakes XIII the Ven.
OmOus Reptiles With Impunity.
The two greatest enemies of the rat
tlesnake are the black snake and the
hog. The rattlesnake is slow and slug
gish in movement. while the black snake
is intensely rapid. The latter will cir
Gle around his foe and with a sudden
dart grasp the venomous reptile by the
neck, so that it has no chance to use
its poisonous fangs. and quickly squeeze
1t to death A hog, especially if fat,
suffers no danger from the rattlesnake.
He will march boldly up to the coiled
reptile. allow himself to be struck in
his jowls once, twice or three times, as
the case may be. and will then calmly
proceed to swallow the reptile without
concern The reason for the hog i'm
munity is due to the fact that the blood
vessels are so minute and infrequent on
his cheeks, where fat is predominant,
that they fail to take up the poison and
carry it through the porcine system.
Hogs have been used in droves to clear
some of the islands of the southern seas
of poisonous reptiles and have proved
successful
By remembering two simple facts any
one can distinguish poisonsous serpent
from harmless one The venomous
reptile invariably possesses triangular
ly shaped head and blunt nose, while
his tail is correspondingly blunt and
stubby Any snake that tapers smooth
ly from the middle of its body to the tip
of its nose and to the tip of its tail as
WELL growing slender in a gradual and
regular manner, is absolutely devoid of
venom. New York Press.
