In my opinion, there is a surplus of labor in this country. There has been a large immigration and recently railway building has been stopped, and the market is over crowded with laborers. In time these things will adjust themselves.

This surplus of labor is placing itself in the West and Northwest. Immigrants are rapidly occupying Government and railroad lands in "the West. Mr. Gould at this point stated that he did not believe in the system of giving land grants to railroads, and the government had wisely reserved every alternate section.

It began with the purchase of the Missouri Pacific from Commodore Garrison. Other roads were purchased and connections made to different points.

Gould said he had at this time passed the point where money making was an object, and his only idea in canying out the system was merely to see what could be done by the combination now spread through Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Arkansas, Indian Territory, Texas, Louisiana and Mexico. There are" central connections at Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago and New Orleans. All the construction of this system of roads was completed last year, and it represented about 10,500 miles of road.

It was for the interest of the railroad to get small farmers to take up these lands, and this was being rapidly done. He did not know of any land being sold by the railroads in large tracts to private speculators.

It would be contrary to their interests to do this. It was not done by any roads controlled by him. He thought that every man who was sober and industrious would succeed. On the question of legislation, Goult? declared the only safeguard to society was the education of the masses. He did not know whether trades unions and labor organizations were a benefit; they had a legitimate field when they were confined to merely benevolent institutions, but when they rose bevond this they were lost in a great sea which they cannot control; labor, as everything else, was governed by the law of supply and demand.

At this point Senator Blair said that he had finished his examination, and Senator Call asked leave to put before the witness a few questions which had been submitted by some gentlemen in regard to the amassing of wealth by the exercise of corporate franchises. Mr. Gould, in answer to these, stated that he did not believe that there was any such thing as an exclusive privilege in this country, at least in these enterprises in which he was engaged; he believed that a State had a right to fix a limit of the rate of charges and could exercise it, but natural facilities would also create a limit. Mr. Gould also said that he thought it was not just to limit in any way a man's capacity to acquire wealth, and that it certainly should not be limited by the amount of wealth which could be acquired in the farming industry.

He had tried it himself, at one time, and finding that he could not make it pay, had gone into the railroad business, which he had found in the long run more profitable. A young man, he said, should be educated in such a way that he could turn his hand to more than one tions.

A few painful wounds were inflicted, but none fatal.

Cattle Feeding in Illinois. We find the following paragraph in our exchanges, represented to be the opinion recently expressed by John D. Gillett, the Dlinois cattle king, to a visitor at his farm near Elkhart in that State: We have passed the time when there is any profit in growing steers first and fattening them afterward. That answered every purpose when we had such a range that the actual cost of keeping was covered by the hire of a herdsman and the cutting of a few tons of prairie hay to winter them. It takes an immense capital to carry a herd of steers to 3 years old, and then commence the fattening process.

I am done with it. I shall (urn off that lot of 3-year-olds this fall, and will never have another 3-year-old on my farm. Those calves there I shall put on to oats before weaning, and keep hog-fat as thev grow. During the fall and winter I snail increase the oats, and run them on the corn before spring. This feeding I shall continue, and will make a steer at from 20 to 28 months old.

The tendency to take on fat is always vigorous in youth, and by feeding in this way I not only take advantage of that tendency, but save the loss of capital during at least two years, danger of accident, disease and other losses. Older cattle are always more restless, it takes better fences to keep them, and they are more uncomfortable customers. I have sown 1,100 acres of oats, all of which I expect to feed. Calves will do better on unground oats than anything else, but by the time they are a year old corn is the thing. Next spring I shall spay half of my heifers, and will make as fane beeves at 2 years past as I can from the steers.

I practiced feeding on grass eight years before any one else would try it, and was obliged to overcome the prejudice that existed. They said I was a fool, but the testimony is that I was right. Now, no one disputes it. Those who want to continue in the practice of growing steers for feeding must go farther West. Origin of Odd Fellow.

The origin of the Order of Odd Fellows is of ancient date; it was established by the Roman soldiers in camp after the Order of the Israelites, during the reign of Xero, the Roman emperor, who commenced his reign A. D. 55, at which time they were called Fellows Citizens. The name of Odd Fellows was given this Order of men iA. D.

70,) by Julius Caesar, emperor of Rome, from their singularity of notions, and from their knowing each other by slight as well as by day, and for their fidelity to him and their country. He not only gave them the name of Odd Fellows, but as a pledge of friendship he presented them with a dispensation engraved on the arch of Titus Caesar, the Ark of the Covenant, the Golden Candlesticks, the Golden Table (weighing one great talent) the sun for N. the moon for V. a lamp for secretary, the lion for guardian, the dove for warden, and the emblem of mortality for G. M.

It is very probable that the first Odd Fellows made their appearance in North Wales and shortly afterwards on Island Mono, now called Anglesea. The first account we have of the Order preading into other countries is in the fifth century, when it was established in the Spanish dominions under the Roman dispensation: and in the sixth century by King Henry in Portugal: and in the twelfth century it was established in France and afterwards in England by D'Neville, attended by five knights from France, who formed a Loyal Grand Lodge of Honor in London, which Order remained until the reign of George III, when i part of them began to form themselves into a union, and a portion, of them remain, are very numerous throughout the world, call themselves Loyal Ancient Independent Fellows, being a portion of- the original bodv.

Ten suits for damages have been instituted against the commission by certain Mormons who were rejected at the first registration, and were not permitted to vote at the election in November, '82, because they refused to comply with the rules and regulations prescribed under the law by the commission for the proof of the eligibility of all voters. It is understood that these suits have been brought for the purpose wie last named have to the common range, and that in no event have the big companies the right to fence in any of the public domain and get the exclusive benefit of it. The unemployed cowboys naturally side with the nesters as a matter of self-interest, asthe erection of wire fences would give their numerous fraternity labor they have been deprived of. The wire fence trouble extends over an area of hundreds of miles and involves several thousand men, and as both sides APPEAR EQUALLY DETERMINED, Mr. McComb says he cannot see how an open war can be averted.

Both sides are quietly arming for the affray. In addition to the fence cutting, the nesters and the cowboys swear that they will fire the range, burn all the grass and let stock tors held about sixty million of Western Union stock, which was continually becoming scarce in the market; within two years, Mr. Gould thought, the remaining shares now upon the market would lie absorbed by the investors. He was glad this was so, for it indicated a prosperous condition of affairs; he did not think there was as much watered stock of Western Union as on many other companies; the value of Western Union was very nearly equal to its capitalization. A railroad like the New York Central probably could not be duplicated for its present capitalization.

Mr. Gould did not think it was possible for a company to get an exclusive privilege for in case of any railroad another could be constructed along side if a sufficient number ot wise men or fools would put their money bid against Miss Greeley.

There is no one breed of hog adapted to all sections of our country. The diversity of crops and methods of feeding make this more noticeable, and as long as we overloek the fact, the more will we attempt to discover a better animal than those we have, which, fortunately, is not necessary. In the East, where the hog is given the range of a clover field, or in the South, where the forests are used for ranges, the farmers are not restricted so exclusively to peculiar breeds, but in the West the system is somewhat different, for the hog is used as a means of converting the products of the farm into produce that is more profitable and easier transported. In some sections corn is the great staple to the exclusion of all other crops, and it is often the case that it cannot be grown profitably and sold in that shape. It is converted into pork, in which condition the corn is sent to market in a concentrated form, and realizes a higher price.

What the Western farmer most desires, and which he probably possesses in the Poland China, is a hog that will return him the greatest amount of pork for the smallest amount of corn fed, and he also desires his hog to be hardy, easily fatted, to grow to. large size, to possess fine hams and depth of carcass, and to be adapted to the climate. He cares nothing for clover or grass runs, or how to feed anything but corn, for his object is to feed his corn and sell pork. In fact, his hog is to be used as a machine for making pork out of corn, as that is his surplus crop. Consequently, the Western farmer does not practice the same methods of feeding peculiar to other sections.
