and the weeds and grass grow so rapidly
il makes the hoe work cost too much.
Answer-You do not give your postoffice

1t Is usual after peach trees commence
bearing to cultivate the ground until
about July 1st and then sow in cowpeas.

both ways you might plow both ways and
thus greatly lessen the hoe work.

WINNING A CUSTOMER.
1t Took a Strong Card to DO Ii, hut
Was Worth the Trouble.

ITS a hard life. that of the drummer"
said one yesterday. to whom thirty years OF
hard work has given the right to speak
with authority. Its a hard life, but it's
an interesting one. and it gives a man a
close hold on hard facts and realities. The
drummer learns in a hard school. but he
does learn. and the lessons pay. What is
the first lesson he has to learn? How to
manage men: how to approach a reluctant
or an Indifferent or suspicious buyer SO
as to win his confidence and overcome his
ind.spostion.
Experience teaches this better than any,
thing else. though some men learn II more
easily than others. L remember when /

| was hardly more than lad. had an ex-
perience that proved very valuable to me.
There was one old fellow on my route who
had been known for years the terror OF
all travelling men. He was declared to he
absolutely the worst-natured, worst-man-
nered fellow they had ever met anywhere,
but L hadn't even heard Of him then. and
so / entered his store very confidently and

actly ike the one | had used before. only
that 1t was made of tin. When | reached
his town / waited until ] saw the store
pretty well filled with people, and then I
walked in and gave him my card. He took
it just as before, glared at me and gave the
card a twist
But 1t didn't fall on the floor in hits
this time. and he only succeeded IN giving
his wrist wrench and raising a litter
among his customers.
Il was nearly out Of the door by this
time, for / really didn't think my life was
