It is said that you cannot make a successful cattle dealer, aJid toe must be born a jurlgo of cattle, whidfrmayi be tme. but we would add 'that" ifc T is equally important that ho should; be born with a capacity, for Judging, men. J n other vrords, the.man'.who makes it his business to buy , and 'sell sattle needs a lot of tact,.and dhould' hare as good a knowledgerof.- human.; nature as ne has of animals'.. .The ieaJer naturally wants Jo .buy or sell, is tie' case may be, ion terms moist" rayonrable to himself. Jusfc, so>ind ho must use tact in considering,;he peculiarities of the person-he iaxading with. It is the characters-! •ic of some men to be prompt, and 3iey have a name-your-price and jin-sh-the-deal air about -them whicttr Jβ !ommendable, but all farmere are lot like this. On the other hand a *ood many are slow to make up ;heir minds; they like to Jungs in general while they are' loing business, and signs of a hurry in the part of a dealer might mean a udden end to the negotiation. All hese types of humanity the cattle lealer has to. study anH humour, and t must be said of him that as a. tile lie succeeds very well.'—Mark-Jane-Express. -.■■>.■:>.-
