which is as follows: On December H. 1881.
an Indian named Juan Diego was on his way
to the church of Santiago to attend mass,
when the Virgin Mother descended from the
clouds and appeared before the poor peon on
the hill Of Tepeyacac. She told Juan that
she intended to become the Patron Saint of
Mexico. and that she wished him to go to the
bishop at the Cathedral OF Mexico and tell
him that she desired to have church built at
the foot of the hin and dedicated to her.
Naturally the bishop did not believe the
Indians story but when Juan went to him

that legislation has been attempted
to require farmers to kill the gophers
aud to use poisons.
But the bull snake is held to be
far superior to poisons for killing
gophers and moles Most farmers
keep dogs and cats. but the snake ex-
perts assert that a herd OF bull snakes
would ne much more valuable. The
farmer is advised to give the wrig-
Cling protectors OF alfalfa as much
care and consideration as he does the
helpful hen and the rat terrier that
keeps the rodents from undermining
the corn crib and wheat bins.
Bright and early every morning the
farmer should gather his bull snakes
about him and hasten to the alfalfa
field, where the gophers and the moles
are wont to cavort In the dew and al
, falfa.
"Whoop-la. There he goes! After
him, Jimmy Bull Right down that
hole. Bill Bull! wriggle along there,
now. you old sfnneri After 'em. ole
snake! Sic 'em. Bull. swaller 'em
whole"
These and similar cries the farmer
boy would give as his trained bull
snakes go wriggling through the al
falfa and into the gophers' holes. 1t
ought to be lots of fun.
Then the bad boys of the farms will
sneak away on Saturday night with
dads favorite bull snake and they will
meet under the railroad bridge and
have snake fight.
Cool nights drive bull snakes into
winter quarters. where they remain
until late spring. while the gophers
and moles work much longer season.
To guard against this the farmer could
gather his snakes every evening Just
as he does the cows, only place them
In lined baskets and keep them be-
hind the kitchen stove
Sometimes the snakes might escape
from the basket and decide that on
the farmers bed was a much warmer
place and they would crawl over and
cuddle down on the farmers manly
