HOG IN-HoG OUT.-The following story
is told of deacon in the city of S, in
Northern Ohio. The deacon was owner and
overseer of large pork packing establish
ment. His duty was to stand at the scald,
ing trough, watch in hand, to time the length
of the scald, crying . Hog out - when the
watch told three minutes. One week the
press of business compelled the packers to
nnasally severe labor, and Saturday night
found the deacon wholly exhausted. Indeed,
he was almost if not quite sick the next
morning when church time came, but he was
d leading member, and it was his duty to
attend the usual Sabbath service if he could
lie went. The occasion was one of unusual
solcmnity, as revival was in progress. -
The minister preached sermon well calcu-
lated for effect. His pcroration was a eli.
max of great beauty. Assuming the atti
tude of one intensely listening, he rccted to
the breathless auditory
II.rk' they whisper: angels say
Hog in !" came from the deacon's pew
in a'stentorian voice. The astonished audi
ence Immediately turned their attention from
the preacher, but he went on apparently
unmoved--
Sister spirit come away
Hog out !" shouted the deacon "tally
four.''
This was too much for the audience and
the preacher, who sat down disconnected,
then rose to dismiss the weary deacon
with short bcnediction.

BEST CLIMATE FOR SHEEP,

Sheep can stand cold weather without
INJURY if it is dry. Sudden changes and cold
rains are very injerious. We believe sheep
require shelter quite Us much in the South
west as at the North. The weather is not a.
cold, but it j., more changeable, and she
sheep frequently get thoroughly soaked to
the skin In this condition "A cold wv wind
and damp soil cannot help but carry of
much of The heat which is necessary to the
wel-bcing of the sheep. The natural heat
of the body Of sheep Q05o) is much higher
than that of horses and cattle. This heat
is kept up by the consumption OF food (or
burning of fuel in the lungs, etc., of the
animal To prevent this heat from falling
off, the sheep asc provided with good warm
coat of wool. TO be eflcctual, however, the
coats must be kept dry. In "a cold dry eli,
mate, if the wool get little wet ON the out
side it is soon frozen. and this acts as a coat
of mail, with a good warm lining of dry
wool inside, Sc that the heat from the warm
body wAam does not fly off. 1t is said that
the Scotch Highanders in olden times when
exposed during frosty nights, wet their plaid,
before lying down to sleep, and by holding
them short time from their bodies they
were frozen in stiff hard board, sufficiently
thick and i1nperviouS to defend them from
the cold. The slight coat of frozen WOO
acts in the same way. But in wet weather
there is no such protection and so it Is thai
You will find il equally important to shcltei
in the warm. but wet and chanccahlc, eli
mate Of the South western States.
