Thomas Owen, Jr., and Frederick Hankohl were editors in 1880, and the Farm, Field, and Fireside Publishing Company were publishers. By 1885 the name had been changed to Farm, Field, and Stockman, and the paper was being published by a stock company of which Powis was presi- dent. Gen. Charles H. Howard and James W. Wilson bought the paper from Powis in the fall of 1885. From that time until 1900 the Howard and Wilson Publishing Company issued the paper, with General Howard as principal owner and con- trolling editor. Upon acquiring the Farm, Field, and Stockman in 1885, the publishers immediately changed it to a weekly. Under the same name it was published until 1893, when the title was changed back to Farm, Field, and Fireside. In 1894 the Western Rural, a weekly, which had been published some twenty years by Milton George, was purchased by the Howard and Wilson Publishing Company. The two weeklies were published by this company until 1900, when the business interests were divided. James W. Wilson took the Western Rural, sold his holdings in the publishing company, and it ceased to exist. The Howard Company purchased the Farm, Field, and Fireside and continued its publication till May. 1905. The president of this company and business manager was Otis McGaw Howard, son of General C. H. Howard, who was the treasurer. The secretary and associate editor was Miss Nina F. Howard. The Farm, Field, and Fireside Monthly was also published by the same com- pany from 1899 to 1905.

Radford in 1905 and in 1906 it was changed to a monthly and combined with another paper and the name changed to the National Monthly F .. rm Press edited by Hert ert Shearer. U

WESTERN EDUCATIONAL JOURNAL, 1879 to date (1881): A monthly educational journal. J. Fred Waggoner was editor and pub- lisher in 1880.
WESTERN MAGAZINE, + 1879-March, 1882+ : It had been founded three years before at Omaha. Upon its being brought to Chi- cago, Mrs. Helen Elkin Starrett became the editor. It was, according to the sub-title, "a literary monthly." It con- tained departments designated as "Original" and "Eclectic," devoted to literary and historical matters; also, later, a depart- ment called the "Club," consecrated to social and economic interests. The broad and progressive policy of the magazine won general approval, and when by merging with the Alliance in 1882 it added Rev. David Swing to its list of regular con- tributors, its outlook was more than ever promising. The Weekly Magazine published its first number May 6, 1882, an- nouncing that "We have believed from the first that there is need and a demand for a low-priced periodical to supply a kind of reading differing like the magazine from the newspaper in its greater deliberateness and earnestness, and yet without those qualities of cumbrousness and extensiveness common to the magazines." Although many contributors of high rank were engaged, under the same business management that ruined the Alliance, the new Weekly Magazine ended its career in bank- ruptcy in 1884. WH

Since this paper is nowhere found dated earlier than 1879, it seems probable that it was founded elsewhere and moved to Chicago in the late seventies. H
