beholder with serpent that means

But there is one point that Is
rarely emphasized and is too val
liable to overlook. No matter how
fierce and ready to strike the rattler
may be, If he is left alone he will
/ hasten to hide-he is not an ag-
greSsor. The number of rattlers in
the United States and the very few
deaths from their poison will prove
this point. Self-defenSe stirs the
rattler to action.
Do not believe the story that q
rattler's age may be told by the rings
or buttons on its tail. Two or even
three may be grown in one year
| and many of the buttons become
lost. The length is counted by rings
/ which are never more than II, as
longer set would be embarrassing
and awkward.
The baby rattler begins life with
one soft button on the tip of its tail
and the little villain will do its best
to make a sound by vigorously vi
brating that member. However, ii
is rigid and not a sound can be pro-
duced.
When few days old the youngster
sheds the birthday skin and with this
accomplished healthy desire for
mice and such small animals ar
rives. In two months another skin
is shed and the first ring or seq
ment of the rattle is revealed. 1t is

and a dull horn color. Now when
its owner gives it fine shake-a

Summer and camps and rattle
snakes are too often linked together
in ones thought. Surprisingly,
rattlesnakes are usually polite and
give you warning of their presence.
Unless you have very good and
sufficient reason. do not kill this
valuable snake, but acknowledge the
signal and let it have the right of
way. To get out of your company
and as far away as possible is the one
desire of all snakes. The rattlers are
no exceptions.
This rattler has dull. rusty,
ground color and the diamond mark
ingS are of richer red than the
body background, making an at
.ractive combination. Each diamond
is margined with white. The tail is
dull chalky white with ebony rings.
This color scheme, as you can we'll
imagine, is one to attract your at
tention.
