MANY
SNAKES DESERVE PROTECTION.
1 &8f6 1
Contrary to popular belief, most
common snakes are neither obnox
ious nor poisonous, says the Biologi
cal Survey of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. The prev
alent (head of snakes is due largely
to the fear of such venomous species
;.s the cotton-mouth, moccasin, the
copperhead, the rattlesnake, the
massasauga, and the colar snake. Al
though these poisonous snakes have
no place in a settled country, and
efforts should be made to eradicate
them, yet most common snakes are
beneficial in their food habits and
should bp protected.
Wherever snakes are present in
abnormally large numbers there
must be an abundance of living ani
mal food in the vicinity to attract
them. This food consists largely of
injurious rodents and insects, pests
of garden crops and sstored food
stuffs. Snakes eat such small living
creatures as earthworms, spiders,
grasshoppers, salamanders, small
frogs, mice, rats, chipmunks and

paigns for the destruction of these
and poisonous snakes may be desir
able in many districts, and clubbing
and shooting are, so far as known
the only successful methods of erad
ication. No successful apparatus
for snaring snakes has ever been de

to poison gases.
