Ruined by Ants.

Prof. 8. A. Forbes, state entomologfst, wa
In Bloomington, H., recently, returning from
Mount Palatine, Putnam county, where he was
summoned to view the work of damaging in
sects. He visited the farm of John Wilson,
near Mount Palatine, and found that his prem
ises had been almost completely destroyed By
white ants, species very common in Ameri-
ca, but very similar to the white ants of India
and Africa. The inst S first attacked an out
door cellar, working on the underside of the
roof and the middle of the walls. Their
working is confined to the woodwork, and they
so followed out the roof and sides of the cell
lar that it collapsed. From the cellar they
spread to the residence, and have completely
ruined good part of the building. Here
they worked through the sills, in the studding,
in the weatherboarding, window and door cas-
ings, and the rafters and shingles They also
laid hold of the granary, which was built Of
hard wood, and so worked OH the sills and oak
plank floor that the floor of its own weight
fell in. The cellar is completely ruined; part
Of the house win be liable to be torn down. as
viii also the granary. The loss entailed is
several hundred dollars. The professor ad-
viSed that all the wood affected be destroyed
and the remainder saturated with gasoline.
He says that he has known ants to work in
rotten logs and in culTerts and bridges, but
never kneW them to attack buildings He says
that the light is offensive to them. and that
their work is not easily detected He sug-
gests that railroad men should exercise great
care that these ants do not get in their
bridges. Wilson's premises are in the midst
of large prairie. Prof. Forbes says that the
ants have been there four or five years, but
their presence there he can not account Tor,
unless they were conveyed from the woods In
a log that they were working. He says they
are very prolific and difficult to deStroy.-SE
