The Useful Snake
REPTILE IS MANS FRIEND AND
AlsI.Y. lhsln NOT EIIs Eh INV.

Many stories are told Of black
snakes that have attacked human be-
fngs. and a fuIIgrown specimen might
conceiyably inture q weak small child.
Even at its greatest development this
snake Is Incapable Of doing more than
cause an unpleasant construction of
the muscles of a grown person. and
the tales Of its attacks on men and
women ending in serious consequences
to anything except itself may be put
down as imaginary.
The copperhead is venemous. It be-
longs to the rattlesnake family, is
sluggish ID its movements. principal
" nocturnal in its habits, seeking to
avoid notice. It only bites unless
greatly alarmed or provoked. and the
popular theory that 1t lies in wait
to strike human beings from behind
is entirely without foundation.
Recently a New Jersey man boast
fully attempted to charm" q copper
head and was stung by 1t. Usually its
victims are those who Internationally
disturb 1t while they arc handling
brush or stones in the woods. or while
clearing swamp land. Each Of these
snakes performs a valuable service
to man in destroying small pests
such as moles and mice. The black
snake eats the garter snake and the
coperhead and rattlesnake, following
their trails by scent, avoiding their
poison fangs and crushing them to
death. It is also famous tree climber
and a notorious robber Of birds nests.
The blacksnalSe may be tanned. The
copperhead also eats the garter snake,
which is the prey of SO many birds
and mammals.
The garter snake is among the
most courageous OF serpents. Not
withstandlng. it's dimfnutive size it
shows small fear of man, though in
capable Of inturing him, and its
strength and agility make it a fire.
quently victorious opponent of many
animals greatly exceeding Il. in bulk.
It is most prolific, a single female
producing from 20 to rs young at
a time.
While the fostering of even the
small and non.poIsonous serpents is
not likely to become popular, they
are of great value to the farmer in
combat which on a large scale NO
cheap and effective means has been
found.
The harm they do is limited to the
destruction of birds, but in the war
fare for existence that continues
throughout the life of all animals the
birds are not without means of of
fenss and defense. We're snakes the
only enemies the winged tribes had
to Tear there would be no need Of
passing laws for their protection.

A Million to Fight Insects.

From tho London Daily Mall.
British hop growers have had to
maintain this season one Of their hard
est fights to save their crop from the
ravages of the aphfs. or green fly, and
it is not improbable that this warfare
has added $1.Ooo,oOO to the cost of
raising the crop.
BY the use Of insecticides. applied
to the hops by spraying machines, it
is generally possible to defeat the at
tacks of the aph1s and its innumerable
swarms of progeny.
AS many as six or eight washfngs
have been necessary in some cases.
The cost Of the operation varies from
SIS to $3.50 per acre. Suppose the whole
of the 4S,967 acres, under hops this
year have been washed five times, the
cost would reach in round figures
from $1,220Ooo to $1,soo,ooO
