SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY FOR
1977578.

without recalling the excellence of the past, the
publishers of ScRIBNERs MONTHLY announce, for
the year to come, the following papers
THE PICTURESQUE SIDE OF AMERICAN
FARM LIFE. - This 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 III keen insight of nature
Mr.. r. E. Robinson, author of delightful paper
on g Fox-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 fea-
ture of SCRIBNER, will write of Farm Life in New
York. Maurice Thompson, the poet naturalist,
will describe the characteristics Of Western farm
ing, of which but little has been written. 1t is
pected that the illustration OF this series viii be Of
refined and typical character, commensurate
with the subject matter. 1t is thought that pa
per or series of papers yet issued in ScRrBHR viii
so fully realize the constant desire of the magazine
to keep out of the ruts and both in text and Illus
trations, to obtain quality, and TO print fresh,
strong and delicate work from original sources.
