There are several points in feeding
sheep that must not be overlooked.
The feed lot must be dry, with plenty
OF clean, dry bedding; the animals
must have plenty of Gle i. pure water,
and the feed troughs should be kept
clean. These should be arranged so
that the sheep cannot foul them with
their feet. Another point is to keep
them from becoming excited or fright
ened To this end It is better that one
person feed them all the time.

A WITTY PREACHER.

The Rev. Hugh Peters. who from
1886 to 1871 was settled In Salem
Massachusetts,. comEinsd his duties as
a minister Of religion with the busl,
ness OF trading so successfully that
he was spoken OF in the colony as the
father OF our commerce and the found
1 er OF our trade" He was also a man
1 OF so much humor that after his death
q collection OF his witty or humorous
sayings was published in book form.
II is interesting to recall that the Rev.
Mr. Peters was executed as regicide.
He was not directly implicated In the
death OF Charles !. but was accused of
encouraging the soldiers 10 cry out for

likened to Barahbas.
Mr.. Peters had preached one morn

hour glass had run out. He observed
it. and turning II over. said TO his
hearers. Come. let us have another

Preaching on devils entering into
swine, he said that the miracle Illus
trated three English proverbs:
One That the devil viii rather play
at small game than sit out.
Two That those must needs go for
ward whom the devil drives.
Three. That at last he brought his
hogs to a fair market.
ii was a favorite saying or Peters /
that in Christendom there were neither 1
scholars enough. gentlemen enough. |
nor Jews enough; for. said he. II there
were more scholars there would not be
so many pIuralists in the church: II
tlere were more gentry. so many born
would not be reckoned among them: II
there were more Jews. so many Chris
tians would not practice usury.
