Sometimes the farmers wife or his
pretty grown up daughters attended to
the barreling Of the apples, and then
there was chance for comparison be-
tween the red of the apples and the rosy
cheeks of the girls. After the picking

came the hauling away to market. and
then seemingly endless professions OF
