Birthday Sale Popular.

A merchant in one of the smaller
western cities is sponsor for the birth
day SALE idea In merchandising. This
sale is held only once a year-on the
date on which the merchant began
business. In this sale any customers
who were born on the date the store
was first opened, regardless Of their
years. are given an opportunity to
save money. 1t is done through a sim
pie system of discounts, which gives
the customer % per cen of on the
first So worth of goods bought and 10
per cent on the second So worth. On
purchases amounting to more than $40
discount is allowed only on the first
$40 worth. No questioning Of custom
ers is done to determine whether they
were actually born on the date in ques-
ton, but the merchant believes that
only a few are dishonest in the mat
ter. He calculates on losing a fairly
large sum through the legitimate dis
counts and possible dishonesty. but
says that the unusual features Of the
sale more than make up in other ways
for the money lost.

Seasonable Farm Notes OF Interest
BROWN SWISS cow GIVES
BEST MILK AT LEAST COST
G. Saw. Massachusetts pairymsn
Who is Familiar With All
Breeds.

A Massachusetts dairyman writes as
follows in Rural New Yorker; AS l
have had charge of a registered neru
of Brown Swiss for five years. reeI
somewhat acquainted with them ana
can saw that after having had expert
ence with registered Guernseys. Jer-
sevs and grades of all breeds l stIi
maintain that the Brown Swiss COW
produces n large amount OF milk at a
minimum cost. In my opinion they
are n of the breeds which Is going to
be very popular in the near future.
The principal difficulty is that they
are not known. People who are fortu-
nate enough TO get them soon u
their value and keep them. They are
large. rugged cows and will consume
a large amount Of roughage and thrive
where many of the tender breeds would
starve.
To prove my argument l might cite
two or three records made in the herd
l had charge of. One three-year-old
heifer made a record Of 9,1l2 pounds
Of milk testing A per cent putter tat,
another 1854 pounds. The second
milking year of the latter she produced
1925 pounds and started on the third
year with an average of forty pounds
per day for ninety-six days. l have
spoken Of only her, but the entire herd
were close to the above in milking
qualities. -.
Near my farm there is a large milk
producer who owns a Brown Swiss COW
that produced 15,01s pounds of milk
last year, and he has cows of near
" all the popular breeds. yet he main
tains he can produce milk cheaper
from the Swiss than from any of the
other breeds because they will thrive
on feed that other cows will not touch.
