SNAKE STORIES. A Couple Real Good Ones Come from Sugar Valley. The greatest snake story we have seen this season has been sent from Sugar valley to the Philadelphia Record. After giving a description of the beautiful val ley being overrun by the reptiles, the correspondent says: ‘Dogs and cows died of rattlesnake bites ; copperheads were found in springhouses, where they fed out of the family milk pans; black: snakes were plentiful among the stone piles in the fence comers, where they preyed upon the flocks of young turkeys, or glutted themselves on quail ; the ven- omous, flat-headed hlowing viper was found in henhouses robbing nests, and the meadow or milk snake in three in- stances was found fast to the udder of a feast. Snake killing parties were organ. fzed, and as a result many of the reptiles were captured, killed and their carcasses burned, One family, named Miller, in which there are five half grown boys, hos as trophies of this summer's on. slaught on snakes almost 60 sets of rat ties and as many skins. The latter, if if in good condition, find ready sale at 25 to 50 cents apiece. ONE MAN'S REMAREABLE RECORD, George Strobert, a berry picker, kept actual account of the number of snakes he killed while berrying, and his record is remarkable, He killed this season 118 rattiers, six of which had each 21 rat. ties. These were monsters, of the yel. low species, as thick as a man's arm above the He dispatched blacksnakes and nine copperheads. elbow 22 He also turned his attention to woodchucks, commonly known as groundbogs, and in five weeks of berrying be and his dog together captured seven, It was while digging for what he supposed was a groundbog that he had one of his snake experiences. He had a four foot wire prong, which, pressed against the furry side of a groundhog and then twisted, gives a firm clutch, and the animal can be withdrawn, He felt a moving object down io a hole, and drew out hus clutch, But his prize was a large rattlesnake that had taken refuge in the woodchuck’s hole, and which the sharp gagged rod had wound itself into. The snake was as mad as a bornet, but was soon dispatched No Substitute Offered. Say what about druggists ‘Just as good’ be. you will stands that ninety-nine out of a hundred recommend Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy for, and do s0 because they know it is the one remedy that can alwavs be depended upon, even in the It is i | WORTH AN EXPERIMENT. The Centre Democrat's correspondents in the past two weeks reported the large number of bushels of huckleberries ship- ped out of this county from the Penns val- ley mountain district alone, principally from Coburn and Spring Mills, making several thousand bushels for the season for which the pickers got five and six cents per quart wholesale. In the othe districts of the mountains bordering the valley perhaps as many more bushels were shipped, along with hundreds of bushels for home consumption. On the west side of the county, if the figures were obtamable, there were, no doubt, many hundreds of bushels picked iu the Bald Eagle ridges and other mountain sec- tions. Many of these berries were re. tailed at home, and in the Bellefonte { curb market, at 8 and 10 cents per quart, milch cow, lpartaking of an unbidden | The buckleberry crop this season in this | county, was worth a good many thousand dollars. These berries are always mar- ketable and the Democrat makes refer. ence to these facts believing that it would prove profitable to cultivate the huckleberry. They easy growers and hardy, and by extra attention and care could be made to yield well and finer quality than in their wild state. Contemplate the number of quarts that can an acre in the mountains, and if cultivated, bow much greater berries ? are be gathered from would be the yield of still finer Who have enterprise enough to make the experiment and put to good use our otherwise almost worth. will less mountain soil?
