Scribner's Monthly for iS77-7S.

Without recCiIing the excellence of the past,
the publishers of SCRIBNER's MONTHLY an
nounce, for the year to come the following
papers:
FARM LlFE.-Tnis subject will be treated in a
series of separate papers engaged from writers
who stand in the front rank among Americans,
both in qualities of style and in keen insight of
nature. Mr.. r. E. Robinson, author OF a de-
lightful paper on "Fox-lIunting in New Eng
land'' in the January number, will represent
the same section in this series. John Burroughs,
whose papers on similar topics have been high
ly priced and popular feature of ScRIBNER will
write of Farm Life in New York. Maurice
Thompson, the poet-naturaist, will describe the
characteristics of Western farming, of which
but little has been written. 1t is expected that
the illustration of this series will be of refined
and typical character, commensurate with the
subject-matter.
