Reading-Course for Farmers' Wives. 



" The picture below shows the members of the Cornell Domestic 

 Club of Chuckery (near Utica), N. Y. It was taken at the reorganization 

 of the Club for the second year. Their discussion for this meeting has 

 been on the Rural School and a committee was formed to visit the school 

 to see what was needed. The club was organized a year ago in September 

 having two meetings a month until March with an average attendance of 



A Farmers' Wkrs' Rcadin^-Chih at Chuckery. A'. V. 



over three quarters of its members, 'i'here were also two extra meetings 

 during the summer, the latter being a well patronized Sweet Pea contest. 

 The club comes to order at half past two for an hour of work, then 

 adjourns for a social hour with a cup of tea and cake. It is the aim to 

 have things simple that the hostess can also enjoy her friends. This 

 year there is a larger attendance and the club hopes to write out and 

 send to Cornell its discussion papers.
