GALVESTON DEFlEs THE SEA

Her Sea Wall Makes the O1eander City
Perfectly Safe.
1t will soon be five years since the
city Of Galveston, Texas, was pracd-
cally destroyed. The loss of life and
the havoc. wrought to property was
the greatest in the history Of Ameri-
ca. More than 6.O0o lives were lost In.
the city alone and fully another thou
sand on the rest of the island and on
the mainland. The amount Of proper
ty destroyed was more than $2O,0OO,-
900. This frightful calamity was not
the result of tidal wave or Of tor
nado, as is so frequently stated, but
Of a regular West Indian hurricane,
such as occur every autumn. The par
ticular storm which overwhelmed the
Oleander City, was more terrific than
any ever known before, the wind
reaching velocity Of 100 miles an
hour Such a wind has wonderful
power on water and the result was
that the Gulf Of Mexico was practi-
cally picked up and hurled on the
doomed city.

pie, instead of abandoning their ruin
ed city, set about rebuilding and max
ing such a calamity impossible Of
second recurrence. At an expenditure
of an enormous amount of money the
plucky people Of the city have con-
structed a sea wall designed to keep
out the waves Of the Gulf Of Mexico,
even should there come another such
a storm as that of 1900 This wall Is
now completed for a distance of over
three miles and follows the curve Of
the shore. 1t will be extended as time
passes. The wall is II feet above low
tide and is 16 feet wide at the base,
narrowing at the top. The wall Is
constructed Of concrete. and rests on
foundation of piles driven A feet
into the clay. The sea front of the
concrete wall has an apron q feet
wide and 4 feet thick and composed Of

Maize Your Own Fertilizers.

There is much talk about farmers
making their own fertilizers, and it is
believed in some quarters that this adj
vice is given by certain college pro-
fessors and political grangers for the
purpose of currying favor with the
farmers.
A Southern truckman, who buys
about $4,000 worth Of commercial fer
tilizer every year, says it does not pay.
He is an enterprising man as well,
and has made numerous experiments to
ascertain whether it is profitable or
not to mix his own fertilizer. He de-
cIares that no farmer can buy the raw
material and mix his fertilizer as
cheaply as he can buy it from reput-
able dealers. Under the stringent laws
of most States any farmer can get
exactly what he pays for in the way
of fertilizer and if he is swindled it
is his own fault But 1t Is not fair
to say that all fertilizer manufacturers
are swindlers. There Is no doubt, how
ever. that several years ago great
deal Of fraud was practiced by fer
tilizer manufacturers, but the newt
able result that always follows thiev-
cry of any kind has driven these crook
ed manufacturers out OF business, and
the honest men have continued to do
business and furnish honest goods at
rea sonable prices.
The newspapers have helped to
drive the fertilizer rascals out Of bust
ness, and they have steadily support
ed the honest manufacturers. If the
farmer will take one or two good
papers and rely upon them to give
truthful information in regard to his
business and the man who furnishes
him with farm supplies of all kinds,
he will seldom run the risk Of being
swindled By purchasing from the man
ufacturers who advertise In their
pages.

Cool Cured Cheese.

Some Of the cheeses cured by
the cold curing process in Canada have
been recently sent to English
merchants with a request for criti-
cisms on the quality. The cheeses
were also submitted to the paraff1n-
ing process, which has not been ap-
proved by English dealers in cheese.
The cheeses were sold and carefully
judged by the dealers in different To-
calities. A committee appointed to
voice the sentiments Of the buyers
said that the cool curing process is an
improvement over the old method, the
money value Of such improvement be-
ing from so cents to 81 per 112 pounds.
Paraffining was pronounced to be
success on closely-textured, well-made
cheese, but does harm on mushy, soft
and acidy cheese. Wherever the paraf
fning is used it should be thoroughly
done.

In 1903 the State Of Pennsylvania
was not known to own any forest land
Since that time cut over areas have
been secured to be devoted to forestry
purposes to the amount of five hun

are in progress for the purchase of
about two hundred thousand acres
more, making the present prospective

seven hundred thousand acres.
Through the system devised it has
been possible to control the forest
