What kind of fertilizer mad hour much to the acre ehould 1 else? I intend to sow this after the hay is talren off. I would cut hay early. Answer;—I wculd advise you to apply about 800 lbs. per acra of a fertilizer analyzing 2 to 3 per cent. ammonia, 8 per cent. phosphor;c acid, and 2 to 5 per cent, potash. This fertilizer will materially help the up- rising clover in getting a foothold. Be. sure to work the fertilizer ,into the soil thoroughly. Applying it through the fert.lizer grain drill will give it best application. As soon as you have plowed the land, I would advise you to sow broadcast on the furrows 1,000 to 1,500 lbs. per acre of finely ground limestone or lime. Work this into the Table rale anners. soil by disking and harrowing at least 2 weeks before you sow the seed and "Eat quietly" figures ainang the in- fertilizer.

' Mani a baby fails to ga:n the re • quired number of ounces for even one week, it means that there is something wrong with him or the food, What- ever it is, it should be remedied at once. To delay until baby has lost weight for several weeks, or until the loss of weight reaches a pound or two, alwayslessens the baby's chances of prompt recovery. It is very much easier to keep a young baby well and 'gaining steadily than it is to have him regain Lost weight, or to get him well again once he has become ill. For these reasons a mother should weigh the young baby every week until he is nine months old and after that at least every two weeks unt,l he is one year old. From infancy until he enters school the 'child thould be weighed at least once a month. The average baby weighs a little over seven pounds at birth.

They Anointed David King. The men of Judah acted for themselves alone, desiring no doubt that the rest of Israel should join them, but not wait- ing to secure their consent. As a mat- ter of fiact the other'tribes chose to follow the house of Saul, and a son of Saul was made' their king. For seven years the kingdom was thus di- vided. David reigned in Hebron and Isih-bosheth (or Ish-Baal—I Chron. 8: 33; 9: 39) at Maha..aim in Gilead east of Jordan. Most of the country west of Jordan and north of Judah was in the :hands of the Philistines. The Men of Jabesh-Gilead. It was this town that Saul relieved at the be- ginning of his reign, when it was be sieged by the Ammonites (I Sam. 2), and the people did not forget him in the time ,of his defeat and death. See I, Sain, 31: 11-12. David now shows his magnanimity as well. as his genu- ine !affection for Saul and Jonathan by sending his thanks and his prayer for the blessing of God upon them. No doubt he would have liked also to win them over to his side, that they might acknowledge him as the rightful suc- cessor of Saul. 5: 1-5. Then Came All . the Tribes of Israel.
