This is a dream that can be realized within three or four years. We will have to have a hatchery, and a feeding plant, but in, the long run the place to fatten broilers is on the farm. We should lay our plans to watd this end. 1 The Federation should hatch the chicks in November,' December and January, and the members should. get the day old chicks and fatten them at home. In ten or twelve weeks they will be ready to ship; The returns from a car of broilers wiil.be from five to' seven thousand dollars. This much money distributed each week among the members will help us all get through next winter. We should plan for this business next year. Farmers Federation News. Press Want Ads bring: Results. Put the Right Foot First When. Getting Out of Bed In getting out of bed in the morn ing always take- care to place the right foot first, or the day will be un lucky!. Many otherwise practical people also, take care to place the right foot firs on entering a house. The origin of the very common superstition with regard to the right foot is easily accounted for by asso ciation. It is a psychological off spring of the word, "right," and its meaning of "in conformity with moral law, permitted by the principle which ought to regulate conduct," and so on, The word as applied to the side of. the human body which is toward the cast when the face is turned to the north is of exactly the. same deriva tion, and owes its present application to the fact that most people are "right-handed," and therefore the right hand is the right hand to do things with. ., Bv extension the word came to 'i.e.! I - J. cover the wnoie sicie oi me uouy. And so, in getting out of bed, if the right foot is right, the left foot mus be wrong. Moreover.'tiie word "left" is from the Anglo-Saxon, meaning worthless, and, applied originally to the left arm, has suffered the same extension as the word "right" over the one side of the body.
