Many farmers in places where their
land is swept by fierce winds find it
profitable to plant apple trees in masses
large enough to make wind-break on
the side of the farm most exposed. The
apple tree branches low down. and if
bordered by fence four or five feet
high on the windward side, the ground
will be covered with snow almost as
perfectly as it was in the original forests.

Ginger Apples: Take seven pounds
of American apples, pare and core them
and throw them into basin of water to
keep their color. Take weight for
weight of loaf sugar, add half pint of
water to every pound of sugar; set it on

ROBUST WOMEN.
Why a Larger Number of Them Is to Be
Found in Cities Than in the Country.

Why a Larger Number of Them Is to Be
Found in Cities Than in the Country.
Any one who carefully notices the
women seen upon New York streets
and places of amusement will be struck
by the large number of robust girls
and women of great physical develop
ment. This is to be attributed, we
think, to more general knowledge of
the laws of health, to the improvement
in the quality and preparation of food
and to sanitary conditions, and to in
creased participation in outdoor sports.
But these conditions do not prevail
to the same extent in the country as
in the city, and a warning against I'M
due optimism has followed the en-
couraging opinions of the Boston sur
geon. In a recent commencement adj
dress. General Stewart l.. Woodford
has again called attention to the I'M
favorable features of the life of farmers
wives; their isolation, the imposition
of an amount of work which saps their
vitality; their poor food; their lack of
change and recreation, and the ten
dency. which naturally follows, to
DrOOulnS over various SuDJectS. Inc
result is discouragingly large percen-
tage of insanity among the women of
rural neighborhoods. Attempts to
substitute farming villages for scattered
farm houses, to introduce social recrea-
tions, and like efforts have been made
or suggested again and again, but the
fact remains that the woman of the
city is usually more healthful and
has more vitality than the woman of
the country. There is problem here
still for our physicians and students of
sociology. But it is pleasant to be as
sured by competent experts that the
charge that American women are COM
posed merely of skin and bone and
nerves and brain, is no longer justified.
