l would have a public library
abundant in TRANSACTIONS Of the best

work Of genius can be adequately
translated yet some acqualnt-
ance with ancient and foreign litera-
lures has the liberaiizing effect of for

lation travels more hastily and SUI
perficially, but brings home something
that is worth having. nevertheless.
Looked at from any but the
esthetic point of view, Transitions re-
tain whatever property was in their
originals to enlarge, libcralize, and re-
fine. AT the same time I would also
have the originals of these translated
books as n temptation to the study of

Importance Of its own in teaching us
to understand the niceties of our
mother tongue. The practice Of trans
lation, by making us deliberate In the
choice of the best equivalent of the
foreign word in our own language, has
likewise the advantage of continually
schooling us in one of the main ele-
ments Of n good style-precision; and

Lettuce Grown on Field Scale.

Lettuce is being grown on a field
scale in the Imperial and Salt River
valleys of California, fields Of from
30 to 40 acres being not extraordinary.
At the height Of the production season
January and February-it is o II N.
common for &c carloads of lettuce a
day TO be shipped to the middle west
ern and eastern market. This lettuce,
grown under irrigation, is produced by
hand labor and is Of extra fine quality.
The industry was developed on a COM
mercial basis about three years ago.
and during the last two years has
been one OF the leading agricultural
occupations of the state. These local
tiles also produce carrots, peas, cauli-
flower and table beans on o less ex-

PUMPKIN PIE ALWAYS GOOD
Therefore Observer Wants 10 Know
Why It Has Not Been Served In
the ~Sprin0time.

A mere man asked me the other day,
why doesn't the housewife make
pumpkin pies in the spring when fresh
eggs are cheapestT Why, indeed?
The fact is We are creatures of
habit. and are inclined to follow ira
ditions in our cooking. Our foremoth-
ers made pumpkin pies in the fall be-
cause the pumpkins are ripe Mt that
time. She continued the pies through
the colo weather as long as she could
keep pumpkins In her cool cellar.
Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners
always included pumpkin pie. The
pumpkin supply was exhausted about
this time, and therefore no more punp
Kin pies We're possible until the next
autumn.
Times have changed. Now we have
the pumpkin in sanitary cans all ready
for the pie, and we can use it at any
time we please. Pumpkin takes the
place of fruits, which are already
scarce as time goes on.
The springtime is the time for pump
kin pies-eggs and milk are then most
plentiful, and therefore cheap. It is
me time for custards. Our grandmoth-
ers established that custom, too. Pump
kin pie is after all a custard in which
the pumpkin pulp predominates. there
fore belongs by right in the spring
and summer
This is just one more instance In
which we should drop the traditions
which are outgrown and adopt a Gus
tom suited to our times.
Our IuIniiy is sure to be surprised
TO ind the luscious pumpkin pie served
for dessert, and undoubtedly, like
Oliver Twist, 1t will ask for more
Exchange.

Wiplns Out Predatory Animals.

Killed at a total expense of $24,seo,
and the saving effected by their de-
struction. on the basis commonly ac-
cepted by stockmen, amounts to S215,-

spring period destroys many young,
and thus prevents increase. Many
coyotes not accounted for in the fig

long stride in determination of gray
wolves and other predatory animals,
and the saving is cumulative for years
