about sweet clover. 1 have about four
acres which is at very good stand. How
is it harvested for hay? Also Inc'
seed? Can I imine seed from this
sweet clover -after 1 cut a crop of
hay?
Answer: --Sweet dover is harvested
for hay just the same as any other
clover with the exeeptirn that a little
more rare should be tarn to cut this
crop earlier than in th, case of other
clovers. Do not let the stalks get
hard and woody because hay from
such material is very low in its feel-
ing value. Sweet clover is harvested

of God. David was wi,t in desieing
to make his new capital' the religious
centro for all Israel. Ile knew, as
Moses and .Toshua bad known, that
the unity of the independent tribes
Of Israel could only be preserved by
tt common 'faith and a common wor-
ship. For Jehovah was king, and,
until Saul, the free Hien of Israel had
recognized no other king. They rec-
ognized Saul and David nnly as "the
anointed of Jehovah," While there
were local sanctuaries nal altar•,
everywhere throughout the land, the
ark had a special meaning for the
whole of Israel, and where- the ark
was, there was the national sanctuary
and the proper dwelling place of Je-
hovah, and so also of Israel's king,
Jehovah's chosen and anointed repre-
sentative.
Tho story of the ark should be re-
called here, its place in the sanctuary
itt Shiloh, its capture by the Philis-
tines, and its return to Judah (I Sam,
4: 1-7: 2). It is very probable that,
while he the territory of Judah, it was
still under Philistine control, until the
Philistine power was broken by David
in the two battles described in 5: 17-
25. Now at last it was pousil>le to
restore it to its proper place, and it
was David's purpose to set it in the
- national sanctuary in his nen' capital,
tts a0 object of reverence and a symbol
of. unity for all Israel. Compare the
parallel story in I Citron, 13: 1.11, in
which the writer says: "The thh)g was
right in the eyes of all the people."

means "the breach of Uzzah," is ex-
plained by the strange story of the
death of Uzzah, a story difficult for

The fact that he was prosperous at

With Gladness. It was made an oc-
casion of great festivity, in which peo-
ple from all parts of the country, all
the horse of Israel, took part. This
time the ark was carried, not driven
on a cart.. The writer of Chronicles
(I Citron, 15; 1-1-t5) says: "The
priests and the Levites sacrificed
themselves to bring up the ark of the
Lord God of Israel. And the children
of. the Levites bare the ark of God
upon their shoulders," Compare Exod,
25: 14. Sacrifices were offered by the
way as the solemn procession began
its march toward the eity gates. And
David danced before the Lord, joining
with many others in the procession
who kept timo with the music of
psaltery, harp and'cymbal (I Chron,
15: 11!), Tle was girded with a linen,

Does Your Daughter Confide in You?
As the little girl just hater from
school reached tta kitchen door, she
threw herself down of the
topstep
and gazed with thoughtful, wistful, al-
most pleading eyes at her mother
within, hard nt work as usual.
Today she was ironing, and the
small daughter, seeing the tired, nem,

She moistened her lips to speak,
but her throat was dry and parched,
and words wouldn't come. If only
mother didn't look so cross! Perhaps,
anyway, :he'd only say: "Nonsense,
child, what are you talking about?"
But the girls had .raid ---oh, they'd
said so many things, and she couldn't
understand there at all! If only she
could swing tiro conversation around
in 501111 way to the subject in <lnes-
tion, then it would not be so hard to
bring up the things that were troubl-
ing her. •
But just then her mother's voice
broke in, high pitched and fretful:
"(lotus, conte, Mabel! You've sat there
dreaming long enough. Get on your
apron. The sink's full of dishes, and
if you don't itur'i'y up they won't he
done in time for supper." And the
one opportunity of the day for talk-
ing aver with mother the things she
had heard at school was lost.
Again and again site sought the
chance of a quiet chat, at which times
her courage was screwed to its limit;
but always just as the parched lips
were about to form the question, some
forgotten duty called the mother
away or some task was unloaded on
the little girl. Even at bedtime there
was no opportunity for a heart -to
heart talk. Mother didn't believe in
babying her big girl, as she called
reading a -bedtime story or stopping in
the dimly lighted room for friendly
conversation.
The days passed and the perplex-
ing questions remained unanswered.
More and more did Mabel cling to the
circle of big girls at school and strain
her ears to catch every word that was
uttered, Then one clay, one of the
girls leas scrupulous than the others,
took Babel in charge and filled her
eager, listening ears with the vilest
of information.
Mabel shuddered at the dreadful
stories. She was frightened, and could
never, uevcr, tall: to her mother about
such thing's.
Thus the opportunity :for learning
about life and its mysteries, through
the pure, undefiled lips of her mother,
and cloaked in all the beauty which
should surround the workings of Na-
ture, was lost and lost forever; and
all because mother had been too busy
to give her wondering daughter a few
minutes for quiet conversation. Later
she was surprised to find that her
little girl had grown up, but it gave
her little concern. "They all have to
