Important Announcement 



WHEN COUNTRY LIFE IN AMERICA was begun, three 

 and a half years ago, our friends told us that we could not 

 keep up the supply of material, in pictures and subjects, to 

 sustain the pace set at the beginning. The difficulty has 

 been to use a fraction of the admirable material which has been 

 crowded upon us. We believe that our readers want the best and 

 most comprehensive magazine that can be made, therefore we shall 

 enlarge the magazine to cover more thoroughly all the interests in country 

 life, to cover them as no magazine has ever done before. To do this it is 

 necessary to increase the subscription price from $3.00 to $4.00 a year, 

 and the cost of single copies to 35 cents. The change in price will take 

 place with the February, 1906, number. The enlargement and improve- 

 ment of the magazine has been begun already. The magazine will remain 

 the chief exponent of country life in America. It will be even more 

 practical, more of a manual for every outdoor and country interest than 

 in the past. New departments will be added ; the existing departments 

 will be enlarged ; the illustrations will be more sumptuous. Subscriptions 

 will be received now at the rate of $3.00. A two years' subscription 

 will be entered for $6.00
