Washington.-- A new national train

ll.shed on the Ludlow farm, Prince
C.o.ge's counfy, Md., in the liumedt
Hie future, it was learned following
the recording of the Male of the Lud

Oliver K. Pagan. Construction of Hy
ing quarters for the girls will bo
ttarted immediately, It was Mid, nod
the Pagan borne will be converted Into
an administration budding ud i
home for the teachcrs.
The aale waa made to the Depart
ment of Juatlce, under which the in
stitution la conducted, for $28,000. The
?state comprises ten acres and accom
modations will be provldsd for 160
white girls. i
The present training sehoel was re
| ported Isst year to be Inadequate^ In
a survey of social welfare Institutions
in the district, madu by Dr. Hastings
II. Hart, director In the department of
child helping of the Itussell Sage foun
dation. An appropriation of $52,000
was made by congress toward the
erection of a new school for white
girls, with the expectation that the
present school would ^ used for cei
ored girls.
The institution Is maintained jointly
by the district and the federal gov
ernments, girls being committed there
by both tin* District and the United
States courts.
It has not been decided, however,
whether the present school will be
used for colored girls, or whether the
grounds and buildings will be sold and
the proceeds used to build new mod
ern cottage schools, for both white
and colored girls.
The population* of the national train
ing school for girls now averages be
tween 100 and 110, although the build
ings are designed to accommodate 121.

Lake That Sharpens Razors.
One of the most curious lakes In the
world Is to be found in Ireland.
j This lake has the power of petrify
i ing any fchbstance that may fall into It,
Of course, the petrifaction Is Hot ab
solute, but the substance Is coated
with a layer of stone, which is found
dissolved in, the lake, and the stone
then hardens and forms a shell over
the substance.
A well-known cutlery firm In Kng
land heard of this and sent a man over
to Inspect It. He selected several
pieces of hardwood, whiWi he sank
with weights, and then marked the
place with small buoys.
A fortnight later he returned and
took up two pieces of the wood, which
he found to he jenrtly petrified. Two
weeks after he drew up the other
: pieces, and found each piece to be os
hord as Hint.
The firm then made several experi
ments with the wood and found that at
j a certain stage of petrifaction an ex
1 eel lent razor hone could he manufac
tured from it.? London Tit-Bits.

non :
"Here can be seen and visualized the

And then, applauding the effort to [
make Montlcello a national possession, j
the editor adds;
"If a similar atmosphere can he in- i

deserve the thanks of all lovers of
democracy."
But not the thanks of T. J. himself,

"THE BIGGEST STEP FORWARD IN
THIRTY YEAltS."
Is what one man connected with the U. S. Department of Agriculture
wrote us, after reading our literature on "Nat!oi*Brand Open-Formula
No-Filler Fertilizers/' r
"If the Farmer would buy his fertilisers with ttye same care he does
other merchandise, he could double his crops and get rich."
"We think/your plan of leaving out the Filler is splendid and will be
appreciated by those farmers who give some, thought to what they are
using under their crops," *.
Don't see how cheaply you can buy a fertilizer, for cheap fertilizers
are not always good investments. Don't merely ask for ans8-3-3,
but psk your dealer what it's made of, how many pounds of each ma
terial are used and ho\V much filler, and if he caflnot answer your
questions, then ask qur representative,
W. R. HOUGH , at Camden, S. C.
To explain our Open-Formula No-Filler Fertilizers. You will find we
put a, tag on every bag showing exactly the number of pounds of each
material that we use? <and we use the finest of ingredients, such as
? tho Genuine Peruvian Guano, etc., and you will find our prices rea
sonable ? and furthermore, will find that after we mix all the ingre
dients that are necessary to make an 8-3-3 or an 8-4-4, or any other
analysis, we stop ? we don't add any dirt fi liar or sand, but we ship
you the pure ingredients only ? leaving out from 200 to 500 pounds
.of worthless filler, which does you no good and only means expense
for freight, handling and hauling, etc.
Don't continue to be satisfied to ask for an 8-3-3. Find out why you
. heed certain materials to give you the proper balance Of plant food,
'- then insi.st upon your getting theih, thereby steadily improving your
uup yields ar.d at the same cutting some knowledge of th? func
tions of the various fertilizer elements. Get away from fertilizing
like you did five or ten years ago, for you haven't started to get the
results you can obtain from fertilizers if you buy and apply them with
a full knowledge of the facts.
