Pictorial Beauty on the Screen
by Victor Oscar FreeburgIf I look upon a motion picture as a kind of substitute for some stage play or novel, it seems to me a poor thing, only a substitute for something better; but if I look upon it as something real in itself, a new form of pictorial art in which things have somehow been conjured into significant motion, then I get many a glimpse of touching beauty, an..
The Story of Milk
by Johan Ditlev FrederiksenThe conception of this “Story of Milk” dates many years back. In his life-long study of problems connected with dairy farming and milk industries in two of the world’s greatest dairy countries, Denmark and the United States, the author has felt the need of a concise handbook covering this interesting subject. In his forty years of work in the manuf..
Wood Wanderings
by Winthrop PackardTO-DAY the September west winds have begun the fall house-cleaning by sweeping the tops of the pine woods.

Mere Literature, and Other Essays
by Bryce WaltonA singular phrase this, “mere literature,”—the irreverent invention of a scientific age. Literature we know, but “mere” literature?

Woodland Paths
by Winthrop PackardThe night was dark and bitter cold, though it was early March. Over in the dismal depths of Pigeon Swamp, where no pigeons have nested for nearly a half century though it is as wild and lone to-day as it was when they flocked there by thousands, a deep-toned, lonely cry resounded. It was like the fitful baying of a dog in the distance, only that it..
