Farm & Fireside was a semi-monthly national farming magazine that was established in 1877 and was published until 1939. From 1909 to 1916 its editor was the author Herbert Quick. [1] It was based in Springfield, Ohio. [2]
It was the original magazine for what eventually became the Crowell-Collier Publishing Company. It was renamed The Country Home in an attempt to compete with Better Homes and Gardens , with the issue of February 1930. The reasons behind the name change were given in the January 1930 issue. It stated that modern-day farmers are taking on a wider range of interests to improve their quality of life. Hence, they want more articles on household tips and entertainment.
