CAN FARM LIFE,
This subject will be treated in series Of
separate papers engaged from writer's who
stand in the front rank among Americans

Hunting in New England" in the January
number, will represent the same section in
this series. John Burroughs, whose pnpera
on similar topics have been a highly priced
and popular feature Of SCRIBNER, will
write OF Farm Life in New York. Maurice

scribe the characteristics of Western farm
ing, Of which but little has been written
1t is expected that the illustration of this
series Will be Of a refined and tvpical char
acter, commensurate with the subiect-mat-
ter. 1t is thought that no paper or series of
papers yet issued in SCRlBNER will so fully
realize the constant desire of the magazine
to keep out Of the ruts, and both in text
and illustrations, to obtain O lality rather
than quantity, and to print fresh, strong
and delicate work from original sources.
