ago he was promoted to be brigadier
general, and now he is to be one of the
master minds of the general staff which
is due in so large measure to his ini-
tiative.
AS colonel and assistant adjutant
Gen. Carter made himself indispensable
to Secretary Root. Whenever Root
wanted to do anything Carter was the
fellow who told him just how it could
be done That sort of assistant always
endears himself to his superior. When
the idea of general staff came up-no-
body knows exactly whether Root had
the idea first or Carter-the assistant
adJutant general worked out all the de-
tails with vast industry and splendid
Skill. He was sent to the capitol by the
secretary to explain the bill to senators
and representatives, and it is due large
ly to his clear, cold intelligence that
the measure finally became a law.
Garter is not by any means an "office
soldier" He had years of the hardest

successful seldom meet with the entire

FEEDING FOR COLOR.
II Can Be Done at Small Expense and
Without Injuring the Health
of the Chickens.

Assuming that the chickens which it
is intended to feed for color are the
product of well-colored stock birds.
there is no reason why their color
should not be intensified by direct feed
ing as canaries are fed; but this must
be done more with view to supple-
menting the tendency to sound color.
than to altering it materially. 1t is not
much use attempting to color feed an
adult blrd-the experiment must be
tried upon chickens, and they must be
color fed from the she'll The proper
principle to follow is to supply lit
tie color food regularly-a small GUAM
tlty given in systematic way, but not
spasmodic dosing on large scale. If
the birds be accustomed to it from
Matching time upwards, and then when
passing through their first or chicken
moult they be given a rather more lin
eral supply, that is all that can be done.
After the moult the color, of course.
will be determined, and one cannot alter
the color of feathers which have all
ready developed-one can only do that
during the process of development.
When the moult is finished, therefore.
and the color is fixed for the time being.
the color food may be almost entirely
discontinued; but it should not be al
together given up, because fowls are
constantly losing feathers, and if the
effect OF this feather food upon the
system be not maintained, by constant
ly giving small doses of it, there is a
possibility that any feathers which may
be lost will be replaced by those of
different color. The effect of the color
food, therefore, must not be allowed
TO entirely lapse from the blood. The
expense of keeping up color feeding
on limited scale like this is not great,
and so it is within reason to do so.-

home requirements, has come a desire
! 10 seek markets in other parts of the
world for the surplus product of tho
! manufacturing industries. This desire
has already manifeted itself in a rapid
/, increase in the expectation of manu-
features. The total value of manu-
features exported from the United
States has grown from a little over
81, 100000 in 1890 to s17,0oO,OOO in 1850.
$4O,000,000 in 1860, s6S 5000, 600 in 1870,
$1o2,0o0,000 in 1880, s151 100000 in
1890, and s433 100000 in 1900. since
which time the annual total has not
fallen below the four hundred-mllion-
dollar line. That this increase has
been specially marked in the last de-
cade is shown by the fact that the
growth by decades in exports of manu-
features has been as follows: During
the decade ending with 1900, s1,125.-
600; 1910, s1,250,0Oo; 1880. $780, 900;
1910, S450000 1850. $6OO0,O0O: 1860,
22,000.00O; 1870. 500 100000; 1880, 1884,
100000; 1890. $49,00000O. and during
the decade ending with 1900 over $685.
100000. Thus the growth in exports of
manufactures in the decade following
1890 was more than that of the full
century preceding that year.
But where does Uncle Sam send all
this stuff? OF the 4O3,000,000 worth
of manufactures exported in 1902
considerably less than the exports of
1900 practically one-half, or $197, 000,-
600 in value went to Europe; one
fourth, or 500, 100000. to North Amer
lea other than the United States: one
sixth to Asia and Oceania, while the
remainder was divided between South
America and Africa. Considering the
distribution by countries, it may be
said that 100000 900 or one-fourth of
the total, went to the United King
dom: 100000 to British North
America; s3O0o0000 to Germany; s26,-
Australasia and China; $22 100000 to
the Netherlands, and S15,O00,00O to
France. One especially interesting fact
is that one-half of the total exporta-
ton of manufactures in 1902 went to
British territory; $l0000000o to the
United Kingdom alone. and another
Sl00000,000 to her colonies, Canada,
Australasia. British Africa the East
and West Indies.
Three great facts are emphasized by
the above figures: First, the rapid
growth in the production of manufac-
lures, which has placed the United
States at the head of the worlds list
OF manufacturing nations Second, the
power to produce far beyond the de-
mands of the home population And
third, the evidence of an ability to
compete in the worlds markets, which
evidence is supplied by the rapid
growth in exports of manufactures

And Johnny's hand shook as he took
the paper and his voice trembled so
mat Uncle Sam could scarcely under
stand the totals which Johnny gave of

side of Uncle Sans figures, for she
could only claim s3,357 100000 as the
total of her manufactures 1t set those
countries to thinking, however, and
they have been rushing their commits
sions over here in desperate endeavor
to discover how Uncle Sam did it. And
uncle Sam courteousy gives all the in
formation he can and just keeps busy
in increasing his lead in the worlds
race of manufactures.
The growth of manufactures in the
United States has occurred chiefly in
the last 20 years. Stated in round
terms, the census figures of the gross
value of manufactures in the United
States are: For 1850, $1,000, 0O0, 900;
1860, $1,000, 600 600; 1870, $4,000 900 600;
1880, $4,000 100000: 1890, $4,000 900 600;
1900, $4,000, 100000, the increase in the
20 years from 1880 to 1900 being much
greater than that of the century pre-
ceding 1880.

lastly turned towards the setting sun.
In 1920 they stopped amidst fair Vir-
ginia's fertile fields, but as the hardy
pioneers steadily blazed their way to
the westward, Uncle Sam and Columbia
in 1880 found themselves in West Vir-
ginia. 1t took them 40 years to cross
the state and get into Ohio, where they
stayed 20 years, when Indiana gave
them welcome and there they may still
be found, with the great family around

Uncle Sam has always been a good
farmer, but it was not until 1850 that
he began to keep account of his crops
Then he found if he went down into
Ohio near the Ohio river he would be
exactly in the center of his cultivated
fields, his bearing orchards and his
stock-filled meadows. He had to shift
his position in 1860 to the western
part of the state and then in 1870 he
took trip to the south In 1880, still
further attracted by the awakened
agricultural activity in his southern
fields, he stepped over into Kentucky.
