being in a (!ormant state, would probably
i;C destioyed. About the middle of the
5tli month, May, they begin to tiael,
tiawling up the walls, and in every tliieo
tion in search of food. If any (jrain be
in the bain, they find it ; and I have seen
a many as eight or ten on one grain of
Inciiai. corn, the eye of whii n they at fust
(i nstiine. When wheat, tie, or barley,
is brought into the bain, the y pct.ctruie
the u.oii.itiiJ I appu Iitr.d, deposit their
eggs in the Riain, whicii st i ves for (god
lor the voung insects, tiil they ariive at
neaily the size ol" the parents ; probibly
the sweating and warm h of the mow,
much assist in the depositing of the egg.
and in bringing the insect to perfection.
As i pi oof that the egg is deposited in
the gi in. it will be found, that if wheat
be threshed some short time after harvest,
in barns where weevils abound, when it
will be very little eaten by them, and put
into bags, and perhaps few of ihe insects
then to be seen, that in a few necks it
. . i .. ,
will be very much eaten, and numbers ol
' . .
weevils in the bags. Having thus briefly
stated my npitiioii of ihcir habits. I "-v-ll
suggest a few propositions for destroying
them. The- iro .t i fliracinus mode, I ap-!
pichei.d, wotilj be to stack the out
foi one or two years, and keep all kinds
of it from lying in the barn, during the
summer season, by this means they would
be ilepiivcd of food and of a suitable place
to deposit the ir voung.
Many of them tnay be destroyed by
bating no grain in the barn from the time
they Laic their winter reti cat, till har
vest ; except about a double handful of
Indian corn in a place, and in several dif
ferent places. Numbers of them will go
to these heaps for food, then about once
in two days riddle them in some cienn
plat e with a wheat riddle, the insects will
fall through, which may be gathered up
and thrown into the fire. Another meth
od is to leave littje straw in the stables
at this season, and before harvest gather
it all tip carefully, and draw it out into
a, field, many weevils will thus be taken
out and perish. It is said, though I have
never experienced it, that they have a
great antipathy to hemp, that a few layers
of it, aprciid among the grain, at the time
of pulling it in the barn, will prevent their
ravages. No doubt, members of the so
c iety , and others are possessed of facts on
this subject which would be highly inter
cstiiii to those who are troubled wit!)
these insects ahottt their barns. It is bo
ped they will be intlureil. through the
medium of the society or otherwise, to
make them public, a il might lit- the
