up of eiders and heads of tribes;
and- partly _popular, many of the
people being present, encamped,

and Saul both knew who had been
chosen, ave it teas not for their
sake, but for the people's sake,
that this assembly was convened
at Mizpeh: Tierry. Unto th'e Lord
"This expression does not . neces-
sarily imply that the ark was pre-

divine presence and blessing and
has ;everything done as in the pre-

location is uncertain, but is sup-
posed to be a higbl hill not far
from Biaanah, Samuel's home. Sev-
eral other important meetings were
held at Mizpeh'. •

not to notice it.
PRACTICAL SURVEY.
In the former part of the chapter is
recounted the anointing of Saul and
the eventswhich followed until he
was publicly chosen king. The con-
vention of the people here spoken of
was doubtless called soon after tho
anointing of Saul. If there must be
a change in the government the
sooner the better. -
The people reproved. Samuel, when
he has the people assembled, recites
to. them the story of what God has
done for them in the past, and re-
proves them for rejecting God, who
had been their deliverer and saviour
in all their tribulations, as their
king. As on a. .former occasion, ,he
made them to understand thaft. God
was not pleased with their course.
,A lesson in humility. 'at the .be-
ginning of his career Saul manifested
many of the elements of a successful
leader. He was discreet. Ole mani-
fested a humble spirit. The ,true
leader ofthe people of God is riot
self-assertive. Only leehen occasion
demands does he come to the front
and then God uses him( to lead on to
victory. Doubtless Saul's downfall
began by his being lifted up in him.
self.
A lesson in forbearance. aSomo
"children of Bolial" despised Saul,
probably because of his humble fem.
fly, or perhaps because they thought
he was lacking in 'the politicta.l and.
military training necessary to fit
him for a leader. To this Saul paid
no attention, dad later when he had
been victorious and was acknowl.
edged as a deliverer he refused to
avenge li'imself upon these.

THE,yF•
Since the hay crop, is likely to be
light this year, it. is doubly import-
ant that it be brindled to the best'
possible advantage and out and cured
in such a wa,y as to secure the
largest amount of nutrients in the
most digestible and palhta,ble form.,
To this end it is well at thio seas
-
son to bear the following facts in
mind: Early cut bay is relatively
richer in flesh -forming elements ; it
is more palatable and digestible ; it
has a. sweeter aroma; ,but it has
the disadvantage of being much more
difficult to cure. 'Grass, es it ap-
proaches maturity-, gains nonsiaer-
ably in weight ; part of this increase
consists of starch and sugar, whish
is valua rle to tile feeder ; and '.part
consists of crude fibre, which de-
creases digestibility and renders the
hay less palatable. Early cut bay is
more valuable per' ton than late
cut ; but lt. larger amount of digesti-
ble nutrients per acre is 'ahtained
by later cutting. Late curt hay has
rase tee advantage of being more
easily and rapidly cured, thus dimin-
ishing not '•only the labor but also
the risk of loss in harvesting.
.Early cut hay is especially 'valu-
able for sheep, calves, colts a d dairy
cattle ; 'while foe resealing cattle
late cut hay will give as good re-
sults.' In experiments conducted by
Prof. Sanborn, of New Hampshire,
anti Prof, Henry, of Wisconsin, to
determine the relative value of early
and late cuthay for fattening
steers, the advantage was 'a little in
favor of the Late cut hay.
Whether hay should be eut early
or late will depeed, therefore, on the
following conditions: 1. The stock
to be kept, at least enough bay
should be cut early to supply the
draiiy cowls and young stock. 3. The
fie... on; if the weather be "catchy"
It is generally wiser to defer the
'cutting until ,somewhat later. 3.
The acreage to be handled; if tbe
crop be large, it will be necessary
to begin cutting earlier.
- By earlier cutting is meant cut-
ting at or before the time of full
bloom. By late cutting is meant cut-
ting between the time of full bloom
and ripening. In any ease, ho,ve'er,
hay should be eut before it is ripe
enough for the seed to shell readily.
A. crop of mixed clover and timothy
hay vs at its best' if both quality
and quantity are to be considered,
when from one-third to one-half of
the clover blossoms have turned
brown.
Hay ehohild be cured and stored as
rapidly as possible after cutting.
With this in view, it is better to de -
defer butting in the morning until
most' of the deer is tiff. If 30 tons
or more of liay is to be handled_ in
a season, a te&ler will bo found
e good instrauunent. Care must be
exercised to avoid storing hay
while at all damp from rain, dew
or absorption from the• ground.
Moisture of this kind will spoil fray
mob quicker than the water eon -
tallied in its own sap.
Last year attention was called to
the method of curing . clover hay
practised +successfully by Mr.
Henry Glendenning and., ntunber of
other prominent and re1ia171e farm-
ers. Mr. Glendenning thus outlines
hie method. Cut when in full bloom
