greater effect on the quality OF milk
than the feed. A good cow will always
be good one except under really
barbarous treatment, and though the
poor COW may be somewhat improved
she will never make good one. Fat
may be fed out OF the milk by starva-
ton. Major Alvord thinks that the
fat measures the value of the milk for
all commercial purposes and that the
time is coming when all milk will be
graded and sold according 10 the per
cent. of fat.
The experiment stations OF the fol-
lowing States were mentioned as hav-
ing made the most advances in dairy
work: Vermont, Massachusetts, New
York, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Wisconsin
and Minnesota.
1t was thought that our Virginia sta
ton has not done what it might in
agriculture Investigation but Maj, AL
word said that was not the fault OF the
director. The college and station were
very much run down when DR.. Nc
Bride assumed control and he deserves
great credit for the Improvement he has
made in the former. His time has been
occupied to the full measure of his
strength in reforming the college, but
the station work has not been devel-
oped as it should be, and pressure
should be brought to bear on the board
of visitors 10 the end that they recon-
mend the development of the station.
Mr.. Lukens considered it great mig.
fortune that the station is not more
centrally located.
Maj. Aivord believed the station too
inaccessible, but that it can do great
good where it is. There might be
branch stations throughout the State.
He would not advise dividing the gov
ernment appropriation between two or
more stations.
Mr.. Wright asked if our natural pas
ture grasses are not inferior to those OF
the North and West.
Major Alvold replied that he thought
they were not 30 good as those OF the
bluegrass regions and mountain
slopes.
Mr.. Roberts asked "What is the com
ing dairy ccw?"
Major AlVOrO Teplleu' - CoW IuaV
will give about 20 pounds of milk day
for 2l5 or 220 days, averaging about 4
per cent. fat. The races OF cows that
give the highest per cent. OF butter are
those from the Cnannel Islands, and by
breeding with them we may improve
our herds 1t is generally conceded
that quality goes with the sire and
quantity with the dam.
Mr.. Wright thought there was room
for missionary work in the raising OF
dairy cows. The demand is exceeding
the supply, so that most any scrub now
will hriog what was few years a'o
thought to be fair price for good
cow.
A unanimous vote of thanks was ter :
dered Msjor Alvord for the pleasure
and interest he had added to the meet
ing and the club adjourned to meet at
"Bay View," the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. q. Roberts, in January on the

HISTORY OF THE TRUST.

The development and growth Of the
American Wire & Steel Company has
been one of the remarkable surprises
Of the iron and steel world. 1t is but a
few years since this country depended
entirely upon England for its supply of
nails. Then American manufacturers
began to make wire nails, which inn
mediatey sprang into such popularity
that the old cut nails were soon thrust
aside, and the new invention used ex-
clusively.
Among the first firms to make wire
nails was the American Wire & Steel
Company, whose plants at that time
were located at st. Louis and Cleveland.
50 successful was their business that
Henry w. Hartman, a Pittsburg manu-
iacturer, erected plant at Beaver
Fails, Pa. He was compelled to depend
upon the Carnegie Steel Company and
other outside concerns for his rods, and
| was at great disadvantage, as the
american Company made their own
material from the crude pig to the fin
| ished product.
About this time a memorable strike
occurred among the employees of the
| American Company. After a long strug-
gle the fight was lost by the workers
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-01-08

and the plant of the company became
non-union. This gave them another adj
vantage over Hartman and other manu-
Iacturers who had started plants at
various points notably Salem, o. So
Keen became the competition that H.
W. Hartman finally disposed of his
plant at Beaver Falls to what was then
carnegie, Phipps & Co.
FOR several years the latter COM
pany, which later became the Carnegie
steel Company, was the greatest com
petltor of the American Company. Then
came the famous Homestead strike
me rod and nail workers at Beaver
rails joined their brethren of Home
stead out sympathy, although their
wage scale had already been signed.
Prior to the strike, a representative
OF the company stated to the working
men that if they stopped the mills the
Carnegie Steel Company would never
operate again. In spite of this, the
workers left the mills
whether in order to make good this
threat, or force the growing COMPETE
ton of the American Company, the
Carnegie Steel Company disposed of
their m!lls at Beaver Falls to their
competitor, the American Company,
having already established a plant at
Braddock. Pa, the very hearthstone
of the Carnegie Company.
This sale occurred some four years
aga, since which time the American
company has been the greatest pro-
Queer of rods and nails in the country.
Slowly but surely they have contin-
ued to absorb their competitors, until,
a few months ago, the purchase of
plants became general.
Trades unionists look with terror
upon the acquisition of so many mills
by the American company, which has
not, for many years, recognized them.
The same policy is also pursued by the
Carnegie Steel Company.
