have simply to insist upon extreme

out-of-doors with benzine, and al
lowed to air for several hours. The

Where the floors are poorly con-

will be a good idea to fill the cracks

this will afterward set and lessen the
number OF harboring places for the

tarred roofing paper should be laid
upon the floor. at least around the
edges, but preferably over the entire

THE BUFFALO MOTH.
Something of the Habits of This Pest
and How to Fight II.

The carpet beetle (often called the
Buffalo moth") has proved to be a
very annoying and destructive pest
throughout the northern part of the
United States. II was imported into
this country from Europe. about the
year 1874. and has spread from the
east TO the west
All The year. but more often in
summer and fall, an active brown
larva about a quarter of an inch in
length feeds upon carpets and wooden
goods. This larva is decorated with
stih brown hairs, which are longer
around the sides and still longer at
the ends than on the back. II works
in hidden manner from the under
surface Of a carpet; sometimes MAX
ing irregular holes, says L. o. Howard.
government entOmologist: but more
frequently following the line of a floor
crack and thus cutting long Sits in
the carpet.
The adult Insect is a minute, broad
oval beetle. about three-sixteenths OF
an inch long. black in color. but is
covered with exceedingly minute
o-eASof NA-lCu ElNe II marDle0 DlaCk
and white appearance. Il also has a
red stripe down the middle OF the
back, widening into projections at
three intervals. When disturbed IT
plays 'possum." folding up its legs
and antennae and feigning death.
Prof. J. 3. Smith says: The Buffalo
moth lives during the winter under
scales of bark, in crevices and wher-
ever else It can find shelter. II is the
beetle that lives over, Of course. and
in the spring it congregates some
times in great numbers on blossoms,
favoring those in gardens. and from
them 1t finds its way into houses near
by. I do not think that I have ever
found larva in houses under ordinary
circumstances in winter; but / am
quite ready to believe that in places
kept uniformly warm at all times.
breeding may so on in winter as well
as In summer.
We believe that only where carpets
are extensively used are the condi-
tons favorable for the great increase
OF the insect Carpets when once put
down are seldom taken up for year.
