THE WEAyERvILLE CEMETERY.-Once year
or oftener for the past three or four years, have
we called attention to the neglected condition of
the village burying place, where from time to
time our citizens have followed the remains Of
loved friends and relatives. 1t is sacred duty
due to those who have been placed there, that
the limits of the burying- place should be defined
and enclosed with neat aud substantial fence.
1t is matter in which citizens of Trinity,
generally, are interested, 1t is a public ceme-
terry, where the dead of every portion Of the
county have been deposited. True many who
lie there have no relatives here to mark the spot
where they rest, but very few who in life had moi
true and tried friends who, in the absence of rel
atives, should esteem it duty as well as priv
lege to show this slight token of respect to thei
former companions and friends.

of existence does not love to call to memory th

EXPERIMENT IN MAKING BUTTER.--
The american Agicuiturjst states that
Mr. Zoller of Lawrence county, at the
request of the Commissioners of the
State Agricultural Society, as we learn
by their report, made an experiment as
to the too much discussed modes Of
making butter. Ho took 2O8 quarts of
milk and strained into pans, set ill the
cream had thoroughly risen, and
skinned and churned cold, and obtain
cd ia lbs Of butter, ready for packing,
The next day he took the same quantity
of milk, strained it into the churus, and
let it stand till sour, but not loppered,
then churncd and treated in the same
manner aud obtained l94 lbs. Of butter
Analysis alone can show whether the
increased quantity Of the second is
cuused by a larger per centage Of casein
or by more perfectly extracting the but
ter. If the quality Of the butter is
equally good, Mr.. Zoller's method is
worthy Of the attention Of our dairy
men.

teen United States be thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white; that the union

by the ratification Of the treaty Of Client,
in February, 1915.
In the year 1918, the number Of

BENzINE FOR PLANTs.-Thc London
Gardeners Chronicle gives the following
advice respecting the destruction of in
sects on plants: Gas our houses and
gardens are always, more or less, infcst-
ed with vermin, it is satisfactory to
know that benzine, an article become
sufficiently well known as a detergent,
ia 10 less eficacious as an agent in in.
secticide One or two drops are suf-
fcient to asphyxiate the most redoubta-
Bile insect pest, be it beetle, cockchaler,
spider, slugd caterpillar, or other creep
ing things. Even rats and mice will
soonly decamp from any place sprinkled
with few drops of the potent benzine.
A singular fact connected with this ap-
plicution Of benzine is, that the bodies Of
insects killed by it become so rigid, that
their wings, legs, &c, will break rather
than bend, if touched. Next day, how
ever, when the benzine has eYaporated,
suppleness is restored.
