they were hatched upon, eat out the very 
Heart of it, and with their Webs cement 
other Grains thereto, which they likewife 
fcoop out and devour, leaving nothing but 
Hufks and Duft, and fuch a Quantity of 
their Dung as (hews them to be more vo¬ 
racious InfeCts than the Weevil . 
The watchful Obferver has two Opportu¬ 
nities of destroying this Vermin, if they hap¬ 
pen to be got among his Corn. One is, when 
theyforfake their Food and afcend the Walls., 
which they will fometimes almoft cover : 
the other, when they appear in the Moth 
State . At both thefe Times they may be 
crufhed to Death again ft the Walls'in great 
Numbers by clapping Sacks upon them. 
But they may ftill be exterminated more 
effectually, if, clofing up all the Doors and 
Windows, the Corn-chamber be filled with 
the Fumes of Rrimftone s by leaving it burning 
on a Pan of Charcoal, without giving it any 
Vent for twenty-four Hours. Great Caution 
however muft be ufed, to open the Win¬ 
dows and Doors, and let all the Fumes be 
entirely gone before any body enters the 
Place afterwards, for Fear of Suffocation. 
The Fumes of Sulphur are in no wife hurt¬ 
ful to the Corn, or give it any Tafte.
