FIELAND IN PrETIME There are those who regard cherry pie as tire finest product, and other's who cling to huckleberry pie. Ever blackberry pie has its admirers. Now. in Michigan, the hucklrbeery is ripe along the west coast and "its pur ple juice, thick with sugar, flows freely over the lower crust, anci floats freely” where the upper anci lower crust join. So we are told. Cheery time and beery time bring many pies. And yet, restaurant sta tistics tell us the apple pie is the one all-th 2-year-around queen of the pie oven. But there are others tc consider—custard, for instance; and in cold weather the nourishing snti satisfying mincemeat. What is the best pie of all? We have never been able to decide this question There have been times when plum pie seemed best, and prune pie. skillfully made, is not to be frowned on. Along late in August comes an other pie whose fascinations are ir resistible. It arrives in peach time, and its memory is one of the best. There’s yet another pie we have never been able to appreciate. It is made of raisins and nothing else. We have regarded the raisin as an in cidental in cakes and pies, and not intended to be the entire content of any food product. The logan berry pie W3 regard as a culinary atrocity. We never liked its flavor Too many pies of fine content are made mediocre because their crusts are poor. A real pie sinks in human estimation when its crust is not made right.
