THE PILOT SNAKE.
He Is a Bold Burglar, and Birds Are
His Chief Victims.

Maybe you've been I'm the woods
some day and heard a squawking and
auttering In a tree over your head.
You look and see pair OF frightened
birds darting this way and that about
their nest on limb. You look closer,
and you see long, black snake creep
ing along the limb to the nest. In
minute he will have devoured the
young birds or eggs In the nest and
then stretch out Oh the limb for his
afternoon nap. The name OF this rob
ber Is the pilot snake.
He's one Of the boldest burglars
among our snakes, and birds are his
principal victims. He can climb trees,
Chamber over bushes and race over the
ground with equal speed. He grows
to be from four to six feet long, and
In the woods he looks terrible, but he
isn't.
He's entirely nonvenomous, and he
doesn't charm" birds, as many people
believe. 1t may be that a bird will
become so frightened at seeing one OF
these reptiles attacking her nest that
she will become virtually helpless. But
as for charm, that's all myth. The
pilot snake doesn't need to charm his
prey. He's too good climber.
Often the pilot snake is mistaken for
the blacksnake. The latter has
white throat and il blush rather than
black. The young pilot snake has
white spots. In addition to birds and
eggs, it eats insects and even small
animals. 1t will climb tree and
crawl into squirrels nest rU devour

In the three southern New England
states % per cent OF the population

three states do not produce 30 per cent
Of the foodstuffs they consume The
very fact that the New England states
are industrial states is of advantage
to the agricultural interests, especially
as regards markets.
