The State of Texas has a snake farm near Brownsville, owned hy W A. King. who hasa collection of ahout 10,000 snakes, and who sells rattle snakes at fancy prices. When snakes | are wanted it seems the demand is | practically _imperative. Thev are | never sold by the pound or by the | den. The skins or oil are merely by-| prodnets with no regular market price. | As there has heen such an increas. | ing demand for snakes and venom for institutions throughout the world for sclentific purposes. the United ates Agricultural Department is ob. a st of snake dealers and magket quotations . | The King snake farm has a capacity of about 20,000 snakes, which are kept J in specially constructed buildings and fed by machines upon a mixture of meat ahd eggs. Last vear Mr. King| savs his transactions involved the sale of more than 20.000 snakes. Hisj largest “purchasers were traveling | shows. circuses and zo A drug is! manufactured from the venom. | Pr. Raymond L. Ditmass of the, New York Zoological Park not long | ago secured ahout one gallon of dvied ~ rattle snake venom from Mr. King and personally took the dried venom te Dr. Vital Brazil, _director of the: Museum of Cerum Therapy at Butan- ton. San Paulo. Brazil. The venom | will be used to immunize horses and | the serum obtained from these horses will be used In the U'nited States to treat cases of snake bite. If the Pub- lic Health Service approves of the method of manufacture. this serum | will be distributed in the United States | by Lyon, Wilson & Cowdry of New York. Two kinds | of serum are manu factured at Butanton—anti-erotalic and poly volent serum. In the I'nited States, Mr. Kellogg said, only the anti crotalic will-be avallable for purchase | through a rubher band. ejecting upon | if present arrangements are consum mated. Tt is' said that one of the strang- est as well as most .coatly articles of commerce is snake venom, for which there i a growing demand in medicine | and other branches of sclence. The supply comes from Australia, and a recent Sydney quotation placed the market price at 20 to 238 a grain, or about $30.000 a pound Troy. neo at- tempt seeming to have heen made | hitherto to distinguish hetween the poisan of snakes whose bite is fatal and that from reptiles that seldom kill. Dr. Tidswell of the New South Wales heaith department states that the venoms are now being classified. Labhoratory experimients place the tiger snake venom first. as it i& 16 times as deadly as that of the black snake and four times as powerful as that from the brown snake or the death adder. In average yield at a bite the death adder supplies 3 times | as much as the tiger —snake and 17 times as much as the brown snake. | So far the snakes have heen captured mostly hy hand to avoid loss of polson, and. at even greater personal risk. | have heen held in the hand while being enraged and made 1o hite a glass plate the venom from the twn poison fangs in the upper jaw.
