apparent loss of 11 days at the begin-
ning of September, and in certain parts

"The Thousand Islands with all thoir

lude to the surpassing grandeur and
loveliness of the many thousand is-
lands that ndorn the 3,000 miles of

The result of the first planting was
apparent lu n little over n year, as
the trees, which were then three or
four feet high and in n flourishing con-
dition. successfully checked the sand
blowing. In a couple of seasons more
the leaves falling to the ground J
formed a forest mulch, which helped
retain the moisture, nnd grass began
to creep in, eventually.giving to the
lahd a vnine for grazing which It did
not possess before.
Altogether Mr. Abbott has planted
some 50.000 trees on approximately 50
acres of land, or at the rate of 1,000
trees per acre, the spacing being about
0 by 7 feet. These trees have
not only Increased the value of
the land on which they stand, about
four-fold, but have proved most ef-
fective barriers in protecting culti-
vated fields from the few remaining
blowholes. The heat in these blow-
holes during the summer sometimes
reaches 150 degrees. It is rather 're-
markable, however, that even at such
n time, moisture may be found In the

one of the states demonstration farms.
Mr. Abbtt has done a notable work.
In the midst of this work he has found
time to cultivate a hobby, which is, not
to see how many bushels of corn or
oats or wheat he can produce on a
given amount of land, but to make
sometling grow where absolutely noth-
ing grew before. The 00 or 70 acres
of sand hills on his farm wiich he has
reclaimed in a few years, clothing them
with a luxuriant forest of locust, cot-
tonwood nn<l walnut trees, speaks elo-
quently of the practicability ns well
as the succeus of his scheme. More
than that, these trees, acting ns sand-
binders, have increased many fold the
value of the rest of his land, for they
protect his growing crops on the rich
soil from the inroads of the shifting
sand.

Ing little story. The land lies three
or four miles east of the Mississippi
river in western Illinois, on the edge
of whut is known as the River bot-
toms. When in geological ages the
channel of the Mississippi was
changed, the sand in the river bed
was blown upon the bluffs on the east
side of the channel. In the course
of time the growth of vegetation in
the old bed. aided by the silt depos-
ited by flood waters, made the river
bottoms excoedingly fertile farm lands.

Rev. Dr. Coan of Hawaii possessed
the love of his flock. One morning a
child was presented for baptism whose
name was given by the parents, Mikia;
when the ceremony was finished the
parents assured the doctor that they
hud named the baby for him.
"But my name is not Michael," said
the doctor, supposing Mikia to be
aimed thereat.
“We always hear your wife call you
Mikia!" answered the mother. She
had mistaken Mrs. Coan's familiar
