"In the Olscusa'on of gardening equip ment last week I overlooked one matter tl'flt Is of ronl Importune," nays u Gar ten Page writer, "anil that In tho propor costume. "Old clothes nre, of course, In order and there Is ubuh11.v. according to my experience, no lack of them. In any cone J you must reallzo that gardening meana woiklng In and with the foil, the oarth. the Rood brown dirt that 'stlcketh like a brother to clothes and hands and shoes. Therefore, keep a suit of otherwlso negli gible value solely for Rardn work, or do the rlRht thing and keep a suit of over alls end Jumper near tho back door, where, you can slip it bit even for half an hour's weeding. In all probability half of my readers are now ready to havo me sug gest a suitable gardening costume for wemen, but here 1 must respectfully de cline. To make useful suggestions along any line one must first know his subject I well; sccona, navo original mens regaru- Ing It, and, third, bo ablo to express them Intelligently anu in tno rigni icrms. in two of these respects, at least, I realize my fatal limitations, and as to tho third I forcseo that tho Ideaa might bo alt too original for consideration. Proirrnina Are Good. "Returning to tho general subject, I ad vise also a pair of typical brogans heavy, largo, easy fitting boots, which you can slip Into and out of quickly, and which you would not at any time expect to wear as far as the dining room or parlor this provision In order to pre vent the profanation of cholco rugs and polished floors. 1 wonder sometimes why soma ono doesn't Introduco tho European peasant's wooden sabot for garden work. although It has, I confess, tho disadvan tages of being low cut. "That brings In, by tho way, a detail of which somo may doubt tho truth olid a i commendation that may. appear un-Jusllfled-namely, tho wisdom of wearing a high cut boot for summer work. I havo tried both-ln fact, have gone all tho way from rubber soled sneakers to knee high rubber boots and I am all for a good, stout leather, hlgh-laced boot. It may "rank second or lower In coolness, but for comfort it leaves uny sort of tie or pump floundering under a load of sand and gravel that comes In "over the gunwales" at every stop. In brief, for gardening, a for comfortablo "cross country' tramping, tho light, thin soled, low cut Qxford Is a delusion and a snaro. Some Wear tllovc. "Gloves are another Item about which, I am Just &a definitely decided, al though hero personal preference cuts a larger figure To me, half tho Joy of pardoning Is getting my fingers Into the warm, moist earth. It Is a satisfying sen sation; It suggests real work; and, after all, If It leaves grimy traces in tho skin, they constltuto an honorable scar rather th un a stain. Incidentally, careful trans planting and delicate weeding do rot Per mit of oven a surgeon's rubber glove, so except when digging, wielding a mattock or other heavy tool, or when working among thorny hushes, leave tho gloves In tho cellar or tool hotiso."

Do Not Be" Afraid to Out Away Wood in Trimming Rose Bush Do not be too tender hearted when pruning roses. To some ptoplc pruning roses is like punishing children when tho chastisement is really needed. It hurts tho parents' feelings so much that It Is often neglected, but If roses are to do their best do not spare tho bush. First of all, plant more roses this spring even If nccossary to dig up tho "golden glow" that was planted three or four years ago to make room for this year's planting of roses. Jlenry Hicks, tho "big tree" nursery man, says that gardening Is only a matter of progression anyway. The people who get tho real enjoyment from gardening do something different al most every year. When the rose bushes are first planted cut them back to about four Inches from tho ground Is the advice of W, ti. Jlc Kny. This sounds ruthless but It is nicossary. Thon every year In the middle of Mnrch cut ' them back to about eight Inches firm tho ground. Tills will forco the growth of new wood, which will have blossoma In June. Ilomblcrs and climbers bloom from last year's wood and should not bo cut at all unless you Wish to keep Ihom within definite bounds or to stimulate wood growth. A hluo rambler rose Is now offered, so that red, white, bluo and yellow rnm- blcro may now bo had. Madame Plantlcr flowers only from tho old wood, so this rose is one of tho exceptions to tho rule and should not bo pruned very much. Give It pufft clent room to grow into a large bush Madamo Gcorgo llruant Is another good white rose and tho foliage Is practically Immuno to tho attacks of insects. The blossom Is slnglo, but of a dcllcato char acter In tho bud and In tho flower. Persian yellow is a good yellow, but llko the Plantler blooms from the old wood, makes a large bush and Is; one of tho first In bloom. This rose should not bo pruned much. HANGING BASKETS SHOULD BE FILLED WITH GOOD SOIL To obtain tho best results from hanging baskuts, good soil and careful attention must bo given. Line the basket with iikws and fibrous turf, then fill In tho In terior with good rich potting roll. Tuberous rooted begonias form liand- f ALMS SHOULD BE GIVEN LARGE POT AND LOOSE LOAM Palms should not bo over potted, but a pot bound condition of the roots Is likely to bo Injurious, especially when there Is neglect in tho matter of watering and syringing or sponging. In repotting re member the plants do best In small pots. Tho Ideal soil for palms Is a good rich loam, leaf mould and a good addition of sharp sand. Good garden soil mixed tflth an oqual quantity of ono of tho various advortlscd brands of humus and a llttlo Band will give splendid result. After repotting seo that the now soli Is made firm In tho pot. Sprouted Potatoes Give Much Better Crop Satisfaction One c.XDects ordinarily to Dlant notntn not earlier than the last of this month I or early In sfay, depending upon the text- ( ure and condition of the particular soil. Hut wherever a llttlo extra care can bo given, considerable time can be saved by sprouting the seed potatoes Indoors before planting them, it Isn't too late to do this even now, but next year, If you kec-j these notes as a reminder, you can be gin as early as the first week In Starch, and, by getting a cr6p of "spuds" In not more than soven or eight weeks, thor oughly surprise and outdo your neigh bors. A grower who has achieved notable and Gratifying success alon? this line says that his best record was made when ho brought up from the cellar a bushel of tubers which had already developed half- Inch sprouts. These were carefully spread on trays In a light room whero the tem perature could bo maintained between forty and sixty-flvo degrees. The sprouts old not Increase In length under this treatment, but, together with tho Btirface of the tubers, took on a greenlsh-bronz appearance. On April 18 each potato was carefully placed In a hill, In light sandy loam soil, a pint of mixed hen manure and nshri) being applied and worked Into inch hill. The yield was no less than fifteen' bushels In Just seven wecksl In sprouting potatoes In this way take core not to let tho sprouts become more than an Inch long, and be sure not to break them off In placing. As with all other plant growth tho shoots' will bo slender, pale and weak as long as kept In tho dark; light, as well as a slightly lowered temperature, will Induce slockter, hardier and therefore more deslrabe tissue.

RASPBERRY ANTHRACN0SE CURABLE WITH SPRAY Raspberry anthracnoso has boon troub ling the fruit growers of this and other state qulto a bit for a long time It is now found, that much can bo dono In checking this disease, which affects es pecially the- blackcaps, and also tho purple sorts (Columbian), by spraying tho dor mant wood with a strong solution of Iron RUlphate or (greon) copperas, a pound to tho gallon of water, and following this up ,by two sprayings with Bordeaux mix ture during the foro part of the growing season. A fow days or a week before the buds actually push out Is tho right tlmo for applying the first or dormant spray. The magnolia Is. tho best example of the soft, brittle, spongy-rooted plants, which on that account are best planted right now, when broken roots will most quickly heal. For best results tho roots should bo moved In a good, large ball of earth; in any event, It will pay to avoid cheap nurserymen and cheap stock and buy only large, strong specimens that are certain to havo been carefully dug und that are shipped with a generous amount of earth around tho roots, and securely burlapped. In planting, carefully remove, prefera bly with a sharp ltnlfe, all flower buds, for newly set plants cannot be expected to become well established and produce flowers at the samo time. Thcso buds are easily recognized, being largo and plump and borne at tho tips of the branches. Tho larger specimens should bo soaked to prevent further root brcak ugn or disturbance caused by high winds. Water the plants generously, especially during the first summer, and do it aa ono should water a ,lawn, or, In fact, anv. sort of plant that Is, soak tho soil thoroughly wherever It shows ths need of any water, and do not give It more until another thorough soaking Is re quired. During the hottest weather a mulch of rotted leaves, lawn raklngs or peat will help to prevent tho loss of moisture from the soli by evaporation. A good rich soil containing peat or other typical humus is tho most desired medium for their growth, much as in the caso of rhododendrons. Also a somewhat sheltered location or temporary protec tion from wlntor winds Is worth while. Tho species which bloom before the leaves, especially, appear to best advan.

WOMEN ACTIYE IN TENNIS I Spring Season Brings Oat Many Aspirants for Honors, TOURNAMENTS ARE INSPIRING lactcasetl Number Over the Country Have 13 1 fret of Intrreatlna; Mnuy I'lnyrra of Varlon Claaara, NEW YOIIK. May B.-Prcparatloiu throughout the length and breadth of the land point to- the fact that lawn tennis for women U to experience consid erable activity this season. The women's side of ths game has .not followed tho sure and steady growth which has ad vanced the men's play and tournament during the last decade. In this country the women's tournaments and the en thusiasm of the women players has been as fitful and mercurial as tne springtime season. There was a tremendous Impetus when Mrs. May Sutton Uundy, at the i'.nie Miss May Button, went abroad and captured the Knellsh national champion ship after bavins won all the honors pos sible In this country. No other Ameri can, man or woman, has ever been able to accomplish the same thine. May But ton's name and hr batterinc ram strokes wero famous and set to mi sic In the "halls," and for a season or two there was a tremendous boom In women's lawn tennis, wblch died away, and until this season displayed no signs of being- re- iTtd. Served us Inspiration. The ranking- of the women players last wesson, for the first time, appears to have irerred as the Inspiration for the trcater jiumber of tournaments devoted to women which appeared on tho natlonul list when It was issued recently. Tho greatly In creased number of women's tournaments was ono of the features of the list of meetings, and It has caused mora tlinn one tournament committee- at this tlmo to make arrangements for women's play where it had only been the intention decide the men's events. Tho oastern women are beginning to understand, Just as their brothers nre awakening to the truth, that it has an abundance nf hnrrl and fast tournament compeV-.lon which J wviviuii ma iuiiioi-niuns to uie pinnacle of success, and which gives them the top places In even department nf the game. One of tho first ten on the women '.1st, Miss Mary Urowne. No. 1; Mrs. B. O. Bruce, No. 5; Miss Florence Sutton, No. 3, and Miss Anita Myers, No. 9, are all of California. The Hat, when It was Issued last au tumn, made It -evident that the women's gome was woefully weak Jn tho eastern states, and at once some of the leading spirits, llko Miss Marie Wcgner. Mrs. Barger Wallach. Mrs. Frederick BohmlU, Mrs. Benjamin V. Brlggs. who was for merly Miss Dorothy Ureen, and Mrs. Marshall Mcl.oap. undertook .to stimu late the clubs to foster the competitions for women. Title IIoIUIiih; n MUtuUr. The one thing that was aimed at and which Miles S. Charlock and George T. Adee of the ranklnir committee favorrvl appeared to have been lost. It was their ldoa that the holding of the women's na tional championship at the beginning of tho season was a mistake. They planned months before the list was made up to carry the women's championship over into (September and so make It one of the great meetings of the closing searon. To the dismay of many of the women this patt ot the plan does not seem to have worked successfully this year, due to the reasonable contention that the leading womtm players are so scattered In Sep tember as to make It Impossible to get together a representative field, and so the date- awarded for the tournament on tho turf of the Philadelphia Cricket club Is that of the week beginning Juno 8. Many of the women are skeptical as to whether or nnt the early date in June will result In so skillful or so repre sentative u gathering at Philadelphia as might bo brought together there three or four months later. As the tournament lUt stands, the Important competitions for women are all scheduled for dates following the national championship. As U forgo Adee pointed out at the time ot the ranking last year: Miss Mary Browne won tho national lltlo and there she was defeated no lets than three times In other tournaments decided In 'the latter part of the season- A majority uC tho women players have arrived at tho conclusion that It Is only by their own efforts that their depart ment of the mo In this country may be ustabllshed on the same status as that of the men. They hope and ezpeat to achieve much In tho way ot stirring up popular Interest this year. The leaders are striving for good-slxable entry lists, which will bring out a host ot young players, among whom may be found an other Miss May Sutton, or a worthy suc cessor to Miss Mary Urowne.

Wonderful Cough Ilenicdy. Mr. D. P. IWB0n ot Edison, Tenn., writes: "Dr. King's New Discovery is a most wonderful cough, cold and lung medicine. EOo and JL00. All druggiBts. Advertisement. To OuzcobyEail (Continued from Page Five.) eating soup and fried stuffs cooked over clay or sheet Iron stoves while you wait. In the shed part of the market the women have stalls, each about five feet square. I asked as to the prices and fmmA that tm are now selling at 21 cents a doien. Beef coats 7H cents a pound and mutton 10 cents, whether u . lamb or old ram. The part ot tho animal from which the cut comes makes no difference. Tou pay the same fnr at&k cut from the loin or the neck. The butcher women have no scales and they guess at tho weight. Sold In riles. Vegetables are not old by measure, but in piles, and the usual price per pile U 5 cents, or Stt cents' American. Hero Is a woman selling red peppers. She has a cloth covered with piles ot ton each. They sell for 5 cents per pile In tho next stall are green beans, each containing a handful, and beside them cakes ot native cheese the size of a bltcutt that you can buy for a nickel. A little farther over they arc selling qulnua. This Is a grain as big as the head of a pin that the Indians uso to make mush. Tho piles are half a pint each and they cost 2 or 3 cents. The 'isams woman has corn in piles ot ten nubbins as long as your finger, and also hominy In a cloth looking llko a dirty dish rag. Tho hominy grains are as big as my thumb nail, and about halt as thick as my thumb. I am interested in tho potatoes. This Is their natural lipmo. The great-great-great grandfathers and mothers of all our potatoes wero born on this high plateau ot tho Andes. The tubers are of all col ors and sizes; some as big as my fist, others the size of a thimble. Some are blight red, others yellow, others black, and come little ones are as pink as the toes of your baby, and not much bigger around. The pink ones are used to make soup. Corn of Mnny Colors. The corn also is of many colors and of different varieties. Here Is a pile as black as your boots. A little further over Is one of bright yellow and the next pile Is dark red. The same woman has white chuno for sale. By this I mean frozen potatoes which have been put over night In the water and then prlnkled and frozen and dried. They will then last for years without spoiling, and are a favorite dish of the Indians. It is interesting to watoh the market -women. Some ot them are Cholos, as you can tell by their straw hats, and their complexions, which not not so dark as those of tho Indians. They wear hats and shawls, and have Bklrts which come almost to tho ankles. The Indian women have hats like a plepan with upturned brims and low crowns. They also wear shawls of red, blue, yellow or black. They have on embroidered waists and voluminous skirts. A single woman may weur a half dozen skirts, so that her dress stands out as did those of our girls In the days of wire petticoats. Plenty of Men I'rrnent, There aro Indian men by the hundreds 'walking about through the market. They are buying and selling, and there aro Indian women going about with bundles on their backs and babies on the topu of the bundles. The men have flat round hats with brims turned up all around, and under the hats are knit caps ,of bright colors with ear flaps, which hang down to their necks. Some of the Indians are driving in llamas, loaded with goods, and BOme carry great packs on their Shoulders containing vegetables and other wares which they have brought In from far away in the country. The whole scene Is one ot bright colors, but It is quiet, and the people are gentle and somber They talk in low tones, and they seein very timid. When I point my camera at them the women hide their fuces and the children howl and go off on the run. One of the odd sights of the market, How Truffle Is Handled, and also of the streets throughout Cuzeo, Is the traffic and the way freight Is car ried. Everything comes in from the coun try on donkeys, or mules, or on llamas, or upon the backs of men and women. There is not a carriage in the whole city, and when one goes out to ride he must go horseback, or muleback. In coming In on the train I had the station master with me. He had been Instructed by tht superintendent of the road to see that I got to my hotel, and as I have a great lot of baggage I told him he had better hire a carriage. He replied that there wero no carriages In Cuzco, but that he might take the street car and that my tpyo wrlter and trunks could bo carried on the backs ot Indian cargadores. I found the street car to be a long box resting on wheels, with a team of four shaggy mules as the motor. There were half a dozen such cars, each' with its separate team, and thev wrn Kn rrrnvilo.l tlinf T "was barely able to get standing room. Tho cars run only to the trains; and thso arrive and depart three times a week, so that If you can get a car. ride a day you are lucky. It is about a' mllo and a half from Me railroad depot to the main plaza, and our mules went on tho gallop. Hotel Accommodations. Our hotel, the Qasco, is within half a block of the track. It Is run 'on tho European plan, and we were ablo to nee two very good rooms at a price of two gold dollars a day. Our meals we take nt the hotel ot Senor Pedro Zanchez, which faces the great plaza and the cath edral. The entrance to this house is a cavelike passageway, through courts which are bad smelling and dirty, and It Is only when you reach the dining room that you dare to cease from holding your nose. Once there the accommodations are better. The food la Peruvian, but the -gs are fresh and the meats ore good. The landlord studies to please, and his pHee, H.36 a day for three meals, is low. The only trouble is the lack of good lights. Cusco'a only Illumlnants are coal ell and candles, and I frequently stumble over Indians as I go out ot the hotel on th way to my rooms after dinner FRANK G. CARPENTER. i
