FOR, 1S11-'1S

Without recalling the excellence of the past, the
publishers Of ScRIBNEK's MONTHLY announce, for
the year to come, the following papers:
The PiCturesTua Side Of American
Farm Life.-1hs subject will be treated in
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..
X. Il. Robinson, author of a delightful paper on
"tox Hunting in New England" in the January
number, will represent the section in this
series, John Burroughs, whose papers on similar
topics have been highly priced and popular feature
OF Sclbner will write OF Farm Life in New York.
Maurice Thompson the poet naturalist, will describe
the characteristics of Western farming, of which but
little has been written. 1t is expected that the illus
tration OF this series will be of refined and typical
character, commensurate with the sulject-matter.
1t is thought that paper series of papers yet
issued in Scribner will 50 fully realize the constant
desire of the magazine to keep out of the ruts, and
both in text and illustrations, to obtain quality
rather than quantity and to print fresh, strong and
delicate work from original sources.
