 Cranberries are not going to be che Lp this year. The Cape Cod crop will be 'A partial failure. Mir. Emery Smallsy, c.ne of the most extensive cranberry growers of that re- zion, says: ''The viA,e worm and the fruit worm have made sad havoc with the cran- berry crop this season. I dsJ not think the drouth has accomplished sd much damage to the crop here on the Capa as the worm has this season. Many of oWr most extensive swamps are located near the ocean or bay, and the night fog has the tendency to help us most wonderfully" The great sNew-Town" cranberry farm, located on the Cape and owned by MT. MakepeacU, of Hyannis, who also owns large farms in the town of South Carver, is perfect failure this year, the vine and fruit worm having killed about every vine growing. This extensive annual crop amounts to some 4, 900 barrels. The berry is pronounced by experts as an exceptionally fine one, bringing the highest price in the markets of Boston and New York. The average price is from $1O to SIS. The farm this year will not yield 200 barrels. The vine worm commences his devastation early in the spring, and the only thing that will exterminate him is strong tobacco and water. The berry OF fruit worm is much larger than the vine worm. About every method has been resarted to to exterminate him, but with little success. His coming is looked upon with far more dread than the well known pest, the potato bug.
 A number of ordnance officers were sent abroad by the government of the United States to inspect the great gun factories of other countries. notably Krupp's at Essen. | is not surprising that they have been refused permission to inspect this factory, for it is an inhexible rule that foreign military officers shall not be allowed to acquaint themselv es with the methods by which Krupp constructs his guns or manufactures his steel. The Krupp establishment is an immense one. At Essen he has in his employ about twelve thousand men. He mines his own coal and iron, and in this branch of his business em- ploys fully seven thousand men, so that the total number Of his employees is over nine teen thousand. The works in Essen cover about six hundred acres Most of the work- men live in Krupp's houses. He educates their children, makes their bread, purveys their household supplies, insures their lives. takes care of them when they are sick or too old to work. Thus he has nearly per
 feet industrial system. Men go into his works in their boyhood and spend their lives there. When he trains mechanic that training mures to his benefit only. The secrets of the establishment are not scattered abroad, and the competition of other manufacturers, and even of governments, fails in the long run, because Krupp's industrial organization is the most complete in the world Krupp's works were begun by his father, who worked at an anvil until he discovered the impor- tance of steel and the prosperity which could be gained by It's manufacture Alfred Krupp inherited this idea and an establishment en- pIoying forty men. On this foundation he built his great business.
