THE CORNELL READING-COURSES 



With the October Reading-Course Lesson a new publication, known as 

 The Cornell Reading-Courses, was begun. This is to be an enlargement 

 and revision of the Farmers' Reading-Course and the Farmers' Wives' 

 Reading-Course that have been published by the College for ten years. 

 The purpose of the Courses will be to place before the reader semi-monthly 

 throughout the year a lesson on the Farm and one on the Farm Home, to 

 the end that the reader may receive definite and consecutive information 

 on important farm, household, and general rural problems. The lessons 

 on the Farm Home, numbered from one to twenty-three inclusive by odd 

 numbers, will be issued on the first of each month. The lessons on the 

 Farm, numbered from two to twenty-four inclusive by even numbers, 

 will be issued on the fifteenth of each month. 



the reading-course for the farm 



Definite series of lessons on the Farm, with two or three numbers in 

 each series on such subjects as Soils, Dairying, Horticulture, Poultry, 

 Animal Husbandry, and others, will be started this year, each scries to 

 carry a consecutive serial number. The rcinainder of the lessons in each 

 series will follow as rapidly as practicable. The Reading-Course for the 

 Farm will be a means, therefore, of keeping the reader in constant touch 

 with the latest ideas on agriculture.
