Moodus snake fight and strange skin swap tale
In Moodus and Moodna areas near Cornwall the tale of Turson's snake killing is told with a hog named Tarsen's sow battling a rattlesnake in a barn. The pig bites, bleeds, and finally kills the snake while the owner is driven away. A separate note discusses dew formation as plant exudations rather than true dew. It also reports a German Leipsic skin graft experiment where white skin pieces change color to black then white again when transplanted between races.
