He Helps to Keep Down tests mar

Many stories are told of black
snakes that have attacked human be-
ings and a full grown specimen
might conceivably injure a weak,
small child. Even at its greatest de-
velopment this snake Is incapable of
doing more than cause an unpleas-
ant construction Of the muscles Of a
grown person and the tales Of its at
tacks on men and women ending in
serious consequences to anything ex-
cept itself may be put down as imag-
mary.
The copperhead Is venomous. 1t
belongs to the rattlesnake family, is
sluggish in its movements, principal
ly nocturnal in its habits, seeking by
day to avoid notice. II will not bite
unless greatly alarmed or provoked
and the popular theory that 1t lies in
wait to strike human beings from be-
hind is entirely without foundation.
Recently a New Jersey man boast
fully attempted to charm" a copper
head and was stung by It, Usually
it's victims are those who uninten-
tionally disturb it while they are
handling brush or stones In the
woods or while clearing swamp
lands.
Each of these snakes performs a
valuable service to man in destoying
small pests such as moles and mice
The black snake eats the garter
snake and the copperhead and rattle
snake, following their trails by scent,
avoiding their poison fangs and
crushing them to death. 1t is also a
notorious robber of birds nests. The
black snake may be tanned. The cop
perhead also eats the garter snake,
which is the prey Of many birds and
mammals.
The garter snake Is among the
most courageous Of serpents. Not
withstanding its diminutive size. II

strength and agility make it fire.

While the fostering Of even the
small and poisonous serpents is
not likely to become popular, they are
of great value to the farmer in keep
ing down harmful animals to combat
which in a large scale no cheaper
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
fence and defence. Were snakes the
only enemies the winged tribes had to
fear there would be no need Of pass
ing laws for their protection.
A study Of life in the fields and for
ests will show that, however strong
the instructive dislike of man for his
serpent fellow beings is, they are his
friends and allies rather than, his
enemies.-New York Sun.

BENNY On THE MoLE-The mole Is
a small animal that lives just below
the surface of the earth and raises
welts on the ground when it desires to
move from one spot to another. You
catch a mole by digging for him, ex-
cept that you generally don't get him.
His forelegs consist of a pair of sharp
claws. The mole is a silent animal and
abhors the society of man, but is fond
of roots. l know a boy who caught a
mole after hunting for him three days
and sold its skin for 2 cents, which he
gave to the heather. We should al
