SSSc SNAKES A NATIONAL ASSET Reptiles Eat Rodents That Destroy Grain Of the Many Species Few Are Poisonous. Snakes, says a writer In the Ameri can Forestry Mngasine, are a national asset worth many millions of dollars. Snakes eat rodents. The more snakes the fewer rodents. The fewer rodents the more grain for human consump tion. Ergo, the more snakes the more tood and prosperity for humanity. The snake prejudice is common, al most - universal. Many humane peo ple kill a snake-at sight merely be cause It Is a snake. Others, especially those who wear skirts, tlee terror stricken from a snake's presence for the same urultrary reason. To study snakes In a friendly way. to try to understand them as a part of nature's scheme. Is a new idea. In the East there are several snnke 'lubs that devote themselves to the -study, of snakes and to a propaganda of kindliness toward serpents. The 'arguments' are convincing; quite as unanswerable as the arguments ugalnst the wanton killing of birds. -Snakes, like birds, ure friends of the farmer, and, therefore, benefactors of all of us. ' There are 111 species of American snakes, nud of these "only IT ure ven , omous. Xo snake, venomous or other wise, ever wantonly attacks a ffumon being. The pretty little garter snake and the big black snnke, the common est varieties, ore wholly Inoffensive. It will, of course, be impossible to kill the antl-snnke sentiment in a day. The hostility of man to the reptiles seems to' date from prehistoric times, und is one of the most tirinly estab lished of human traditions. The won dor Is that any snakes have survived the ruthless warfare. If it Is now made sufficiently clear by science that the snuke is one of uiau's invaluable benefactors, snnkedom's future uiuy e much brighter than its past. A Regular Bird.
