TRICKY AND A BUFFER.
The Spreading Adder Will Fool You 10
You Don't Know Him.

He's a sly creature, this snake.
When he's discovered and trapped he'll
make such n hts,abaloo about II, with
his Kissing and contortions, that IL
you're not wise TO the fact that he's
only blGfflng you're sure to be fright
ened. II you're acquainted with him,
however and refuse TO run, he'll give
one final twist and roll over on his
back, just as though he had made up
his mind to die and save you the trou-
BILE of killing him. But don't be fool
ed. He's only playing possum. He's
the spreading adder.
His tricks have resulted in all sorts
of wild stories about him. Many peo-
pie believe he's poisonous. because he
spreads his head out fiat and Kisses
when he's disturbed. As a matter of
fact. he couldn't hurt You If you pick
ed him up by the head. He's only
blufling when he Kisses.
Then there's another story about the
spreading adder to the effect that he
will bite himself and fall over dead.
This belief comes from his habit of
playing possum when he sees he's cor
nered and can't escape.
The spreading adder is about thirty
inches long, a reddish brown and
blotched and spotted. He lives in dry
woods and on sandy hillsides and eats
toads and insects. He's also called
the blowing viper or the hognosed adj

a little more POSTAGE cent more

the fact is that it required an addl-

know that letter postage is not frac-

was about thirty to thousand of the

to thousand in the more progressive

the corn that is grown in Indiana,
Wisconsin and Iowa is too short for
the corn that is grown in Minnesota
and a variety must be perfected that

A variety of corn that would fully
