Kansan Has Killed 200 Reptiles
and Sees No Hope of
Victory.
HIS FAMILY IS ROUTED
State Board of Health Instructs Chem.
lists to Devise Something That
Will Rid Farmers Home of Pests

! Topeka, Kan.-Chemists have
worked out medicines which will drive
rats and mice and insects out OF a
house, but none ever developed a
scheme that will drive snakes out.
The Kansas board of health has asked
the chemists of the State university
and Agricultural college to see if they
can find something which will drive
blacksnakes out OF the home OF Theo.
dOre Herman at Beloit.
Herman has appealed to the board
for something which will let him live
in the house. He was driven out OF
his home two weeks ago by black
snakes and has not been able to eX.
terminate them yet, although he has
killed more than 200. The snakes are
apparently as thick as ever.
/ Herman is a prosperous farmer and
lives two miles from Beloit in a stone
house, built many years ago. One aft
ernoon Mrs. Herman put her baby in
the go-cart preparing for a walk. The
baby had broken its bottle that morn
Ing and Herman was going to bring a
new one home that evening. A bowl OF
milk was placed in the bottom of the

go-cart and the baby ate through
long rubber tube.
, Mrs. Herman left the baby in the
hall while she went to the living room
to get her purse and hat. She heard
the baby laughing and thought some
OF the neighbors had dropped in for
visit. She walked into the hall and
found two big black snakes eating the
milk in the baby's bowl.
Mrs. Herman ran to the baby and
carried it in her arms while she went
back to get her hat. She found two
more snakes in her hat box and an
other crawling up.the leg of the dress
ing table. Mrs. Herman was afraid to
leave by the front door where she had
seen the two snakes eating her baby's
milk so she started out the kitchen
door and found three snakes hanging
from the sill. Mrs. Herman escaped
through window and went to her
mothers home.
When Mr.. Herman came by his wife
stopped him and told of the snakes
He went home, accompanied by his
wife's brother, to eNterminate the
snakes. Herman picked up what h
thought was a stick and the first thing
he knew he had snake coiled around
his arm and Kissing in his face. They
killed 20 snakes that night and have
killed from six to thirty every day
since, but each day they find the
snakes as plentiful as before.
No one knows where the snakes
came from or how they happened to
appear in such numbers and i'll this
house. Killing them does not eradi
cate them, so the states chemists are
trying to find something that viii
drive them out. Fumigating the house
with strong formaldehyde candles anc
with sulphur failed to keep the snakes
out more than an hour. The Hermans
are living at the home of Mrs. Her
mans parents.
