observation. Up to the time have In
mind | was very skeptical about the
stories told to me about snakes rob
bling cows Of their milk and keeping
calves from getting what was coming
to them But while was up In Ar
kansas some years ago I had occasion
to see something OF the very thing 1
had doubted.
Mind you. am not telling you
eyes. want to remain within the
bounds Of reason and truth I'm this
matter I had heard that snakes had
habit of milking cows and that In
some instances calves had been starved
to death on this account. The farmer
was stopping with had a fine Jersey
cow with her first calf She was al
lowed to range in the woods. There
was fine natural pasturage in that
section OF the State and all the men I'm
! that part of the country were In the
habit Of allowing their stock to run at
large.
The COW was giving three gallons
OF milk day. She was a prize and
her owner was proud of her. Sudden
ly she began to show up In the evening
with an empty bag. For awhile the
owner was very much puzzled over the
matter and was inclined to think that
some malicious person was robbing
him of the cows milk. Finally, how
ever, 1t dawned on him that the thing
might be explained in some other way.
He had heard about the snake theory
and he came to the conclusion that
snake was to blame for the condition
of the cows bag when she came home
at evening There was every indica
ton shat snake was doing the work
We finally reached the conclusion that
snake was guilty. No. we never
caught the reptile robbing the cow Of
her milk, but we always felt reason
ably certain that her bag was being
robbed In this way. We put her up
where we could watch her and after
that we had no more trouble. She
yielded her three gallons of milk day
as was her wont before the period OF
her mysterious robbery. My own view
is that snakes will steal the milk OF
COWS If they get a chance and | base
the opinion on the case In point"
