Excellent results have attended the initial operations of the bush housekeepers engaged by the women’s division of the New Zealand Farmers’ onion to lighten the load of the back-blocks mothers in times of sickness. Mrs. C. C.

Mrs. Jackson stated that Miss Whishaw, of Featherston, who was the first housekeeper appointed, in addition to managing the home of a back-blocks farmer in the Hunterville district whose \ l f e was was also teaching the children their school lessons.
