THE BUFFALO BUG.
One of the Most Troublesome of HOusehol,
Insect Pests.

One of the Most Troublesome Of Household
Insect Pests.
1t is found that few of the usual pre-
ventives are of any use against the at
tacks of this beetle, and for this reason
1t is a difficult pest to eradicate. In
some places it has proved so destructive
that carpets have to be dispensed with,
and in their place rugs are used, as be-
ing more conveniently examined.
Tallow or tallowed paper placed
around the edges of the carpet, which
are often the parts first attacked, is said
to be effectual. In many cases the car
pets are cut, as with scissors, following
the line of the seams in the floor, and
as remedy for this it has been recon-
mended that the seams be filled during
the winter with cotton saturated with
benzine." Kerosene, naphtha or gaso-
line are offensive to the beetle as we'll
as benzine, but benzine is perhaps the
simplest and safest preventive to use.
1t can be poured from tin can having
very small spout, it being necessary to
use but little.
Before lacking down carpet it
should be thoroughly examined and if
poss BILE steamed. If in spite of precau-
tions carpet is found infected, wet
cloth can be spread down along the
edges and hot iron pressed over it, the
steam thus generated not only killing
the beetles and larvae. but destroying
any eggs that may have been laid.
Clothing is some times attacked, as we'll
as objects of natural history-such as
stuffed birds and mammals.
1t was believed that the beetle must
feed on some plant. for in number of
cases it was captured out of doors, and
it was finally discovered feeding on the
pollen Of the flowers of spir@as, the
beetle living on the plant for a while
and then returning to the house to lay it's
eggs. When this was proved it was sug-
gested that spir@as should be planted
around houses infested by the beetle;
by doing this the plants could be often
examined and the beetles destroyed
