Without recalling the excellence of the p,,,
the publishers of ScribRers Monthly announce
for the year to come, the following papers:
THx PISIUREsoyE SIDE or ANEsIcAN FARM
Lnr-This subject will be treated in series Of
separate papers engaged from writers who stand
in the front rank among Americans, beth in
qualities Of style and in keen insight Of nature.
Mr. r. E Robinson, author Of q delightful pa
per on "Fox Hunting in New England" in the
January number, will represent the same section
in this series John Burroughs, whose paper on
similar topics have bees highly priced and pop
ular feature of Scribner, will write Of Farm Life
in New York. Mauriee Thompson, the poet
naturalist, will describe the characteristics Of
Western farming, Of which but little has been
written. II Is expected that the Illustration of
this series will be Of refined and typical eharac-
ter, commensurate with the Fasject-matter. Il
is thought that no paper or series of papers yet
issued in Seribner will so fully realize the con-
stant desire of the magazine to keep out Of the
ruts, and, both in text and illustrations, 20 OBJ
tain quality rather than quantity, and 70 print
fresh, strong and delie-te work from original
sources.
