IN THE CRANBERRV BOG Men of Many Nationalities Harvest P ing Cape Cod Berries Worth MUiions oi uouars Plymouth, Mass., Oct. 14. 1905. "It always amuses me when I am in Flor- Ida or in "Washington in the winter" paid a veteran cranberry grower the other day, "to draw out people of oth er sections on the subject of cran berries. I find that many very intelli gent people fancy they are raised on shrubs or even on trees and picked pretty much as cherries or balckber ries. Some of the people I- meet are cautious and will not commit them selves, but others are quite naive in their ignorance and willingness to dis Tay it." Summering on Cape Cod has of late hfrome so universal that it mlsrht be pxpected the sight of cranberry bogs, purple and pink and green w-ith running- vines of the Vaccinium macro- . enrpon must have become familiar to a considerable portion of the popula tion of the T7nlted States. Those cer tainly who linarer on the autumn The- best time of the year in the Pii t r'-rs country as it is in mot places r'org the Atlantic seaboard are. also f,rnstomed to the spectacle of cosmo politan ganes of pickers.

Already f '? doubtful this year If th- 'east-, '."n Thanksgiving tables will not but snarsely with the elorious sauce, for hardly had the piek ,r! bo arm work when the adroit west-f-rn buyers were on the scene, rid ' " out in' every direction from thlr .v-a'diuarters in "Wareham. examin'ng " 1 ots critically and making their r""s before the fruit men of Poston V Xpv- Tovk were aware what was poinp on. Their propxessiveness . in ' with recent requirements. Last year nearly 300,000 barrels were more widely distributed than ever before, ! hundreds o,f carloads going every where. ' The tendency is more and more toward the nationalization of the berry. So that it is. no wonder Cape Cod grows rich and prosperous and that every available acre of bog is being take-- up, for no other region of the United States i3 suited by climate for production of the berries on a large scale. Not every land owner can gst into this industry without outside help. Large captal "is needed to de velop a cranberry pronerty, but once it has begun to bear, the returns are sure, given the th.ee essentials of peat, sand and flown ge. The cranber ry grower is more independent of the vicissitudes of nature than almost anybody else in the world." A crop. on a property constructed bog cannot be destroved either by frost or bv worms if intelligent care is used, for when te danger of either occurs th0 watchful manacer has onlv to turn the wat?r from the reservoir into the rodow and thereby submerges the plants fof their own salvation. This is, in fact, one of the most surprising features of the industry, the scientific precision with which it has j been developed. There' are rnnbry j meadows in some districts where the j vines are allowed to take care of them i selves, subject only to natural flow-! age - and exposed to the September I fronts. Not so '.on Cape Cod. On such a property as that of a cranberry company which h under construe--tion at North Duxb"rv the largest bog under a sinrie flowage in the world, on anv Str evening when the arnwrh of . frot is susnec iei, the manager onens the trates of the tree great reservoirs of 40, ?5 and So acres resneCtivelv. whr mil lions of rr-ror-s of water are hM at p,-p1S a fOW feet 9ove the meadows, a"d ranidlv food, the d'kes utn T'rW. wermpr th"i the air.

Nearly all of the favorable locations for bogs in the Cape Cod region have already been taken up by enterpris ing Yankees. One sights the glow of the vines in every part of the land from New Bedford or Boston around to the sandy tip. Walking among the bush-covered dunes behind Province town the tourist is surprised to find little half-acre and acre bogs, between sheltering hills. Besides a stream of water for the winter and autumn in undations the prospective cranberry level tract that has an underlying structure of peat or black mud, preferably the former, since the mud is apt, to be too cold for the best growth of the plants. Ample . saTjrt which is not ordinarily difficult to find on the Cape is anotner absolute necessity. When the bog is first constructed a layer from four to ten inches -in depth is made, upon which the cuttiners from older vines are forced down until their ends rest in the peaf bd beneath. The said hnVds Je snr-s rent, and thns protects the vines arirst the coldness of the miss of neat. Tt Is the custom ev ery two or three years to "sand" a bog. Everywhere oh the Cape one hears of the profitableness of the industry when it is scientifically conducted. A bog must be one 'of the best paying real estate investments in the coun try. Thus an acre of bog in Plymouth county yielded a net of $P,55.5?: a ho? of 5 and 5-8 acres for 13 consecutive years yielded over 600 barrels annu ally and earned for its owner $10 a day ret prot coring the entire pe riod; a bog of 11 acres yielded $5 010 anmtalW in .1901. i?.n2 rrcl 19ZV,, a boa: of 10 acres- paid for itself in three vears; a bo" of 4" arrs paid for i self seven timrs In 1" vpars.

It is luitentlv believed amon? the Cape people that the promts of canberry growing are not only permanent, but are destined to increase largely. Russian Army in Manchuria (Paris Correspondence London Times.) The Matin today publishes some important evidence as to the state .of the Russian armj" in Manchuria in an article by its war correspondent, M. Jean Rodes. M. Rodes. who recent ly returned from the Far East, em phatically maintains that if the war had continued. Gen. Linevitch would have been beaten. That is the opin ion which he has formed after hav ing observed the Russian forces at close quarters for a considerable time, after having spoken to almost all the foreign military attaches, and after seeing the Japanese soldiers who oc cupied Yingkau nearly a jear ago. Those who attach due importance to moral considerations have, "he says, from the very bekinning foreseen what has occurred. I "The disorder, the ignorance, apathy, i and the prevarication which have be- i come, so to speak, systematic, were ' ! obvious to everybody, and astounded vthose who found themselves for the firsa time in contact with the Russian army. Personally, I was so unfav- orably impressed it is permissible to say" so now that events have justified my pessimistic predictions that I ! wrote a private letter to the editor, announcing in advance the inevitable "defeat of tour allies .Since then these defects, known to the whole world, have been aggravated by a complete demoralization as the result of a year ofdefeat, and particularly of the crushing blow at Mukden. Gen. , . Linevitch undertook to beat Oyama, but the immense majority of his offi cers did not in the least believe that he could do so. Some very rare ex- , ceptions among, the best of them, sim ple, courageous men of action, desired to fight again, owing to their consti 1 jtutional incapacity to admit their de feat. The others, more intelligent, who saw and understood the inferior ity of the commanders and of the army itself, were sure of defeat in ad vance, and made no attempt to conceal their opinion. -They would have per formed their duty, but witth out any hope of success. "I observed that skepticism and discouragement even among the generals in command. Af for the rest, all they hoped for was to save their ckin by every possible means when the moment came. "The soldiers, in spite of their phy sical resistance, had had enough of the war, in which their sufferings had been compensaxea Dy no giory. vu ' could be seriously expected of those who had experienced such a terrific panic? Their immature minds seem ed stupified by what they had under gone, and were almost disposed to re gard the Japanese a something mar velous, which seemed to inspire thesa poor devils with a superstitious fear You - should " have seen those huge, ! heavy children, simplemlnded and bar 1 barous, surround the few Japanese prisoners who occasionally arrived at for a long time with profound admir ation. Many of them approached and touched the prisoners discreetly and with respect, as if to see w-h ether they were really flesh and blood. Pit iable herd of peasants, who have for months past been sustained exclusive ly by the hope of peace, how they must now rejoice! On the other hand, the deplorable morale of Linevitch's army could not be improved by the reinforcements which brought to Man churia the news of revolution and the germs of disaffection, and whose sole superiority consisted in not having yc been defeated." After giving this stricking picture of the condition of the Russian forces, M. Rodes dwells upon the inferiority of Gen. Linevitch as commander-in-chief, when compared with his prede cessor, and upon the divisions by which the chief command was danger ously weakened. The Kuropatkin Gripenberg rivalry has been succeeded by that between Kuropatkin and Kaul bars. If the chiefs knew how to save appearances, their general staffs manifested profound hostility. Things were worse than before Mukden, when Kuropatkin's authority at least seem ed to be firmly established, and when the supreme command did not suffer from the anarchy and malaise occa sioned by the sensational changes that followed that rout. M. Rodes also doubts the Russian claim that they now possess numerical superiority, a claim which was also made before Mukden. a.s also the suggestion that the Japanese are exhausted. Indeed, the only Russian advantage which he admits as a new factor since the Jap anese reinforcements counterbalanced all those received by Russia is the better arrangement for the ernploy I ment of the reserves. That, in M. , Rode's opinion, Is not sufficient to i counteract the 'disadvantages which, far from being removed, have been greatly aggravated by the demorali zation inevitably occasioned by the rout at Mukden. value during convalescence when the bowels are sluggish in their action.
