inches in length. 1t has made its home
on the Armour farm for five years. and
Mr.. Armour says he would not take $50
for it. His snakeship comes right into
the dooryard, and allows himself to be
fondled by children. The bullsnake is
not poisonous snake. During most
OF the summer days Mr.. Bullsnake
stays out in Mr.. Armour's apple or
chard, which adjoins the house of the
north. While he is not lying dormant
the snake preys on mice and gophers,
which are its main diet.
When "the frost is on the pumpkin,
Mr.. Armour says the snake, like all OF
its numerous family, seeks a place to
hibernate. But as sure as the frost is
out Of the ground and the spring rains
and the flowers come, the snake makes
its appearance. 1t comes to the house
to make a greeting and then turnout
