THE LICK DISPUTE SErTLED.-A dis
patch from San Francisco OF the 9th
says:
The contest between the Trustees Of
the Lick estate and the heirs is fin
ally amicably arranged. John a.. natural
son of James Lick, receives 1858, 900,
from which he pays $72, 900 to the other
heirs in various amounts. This leaves
the Trustees in position to carry out
the conditions of the trust deed and
gives clean title to all the real estate
included in the trust, which, on the
testimony of an expert. has increased in
market value fifty per cent. by clearing
away the cloud on the title caused by the
recent contest. The value of the prop
erty involved is estimated at So, 800, 900.

A TREAsoNABLE PRAYER.--At the dedi-

MILFORD Woodruff delivered himself of
the following prayer for the good OF Brig
ham and the destruction OF the United
States Government:
Thou hast taken unto tbyself ttine
aged servant, the Patriarch, Joseph
Smith, and his sons. Joseph. Hyrum.
Carlos and Samuel, and many others Of
thy servants. but thou hast raised up
unto myself thy servant, Brigham
Young, as law-giver unto Israel and
leader of thy people. Thou hast taken
unto tbyself his councillors, Willard. Je-
dehiah, Heber and George A., yet thou
hast sustained thy servant, Brigham, for
a generation, as men count time, by the
right hand of Thy power.
Therefore, o Lord our God, we pray
thee that thou wilt give our people faith
that Thou wilt lay thy hand
upon thy servant, Brigham. unto the re-
newal of his body and the healing OF all
OF his infrmities yea
0 Lord, may he live to behold the in
habitants of Zion united and enter into
the holy order of God and keep the CO.
lestial law. And we pray Thee
out. Father in Heaven. in the name of
Jesus Christ, lift can be consistent with
Thy will, that Thy servant, Brigham,
may stand in the flesh to behold the ma
ton which now occupies the land upon
which Thou, Lord, hast said the Zion of
God should stand in the latter days, that
nation which shed the blood Of the
Prophets and Saints which cry unto God
day and night for vengeance,
yea, o Lord that he may live to see that
nation broken in pieces like a
potter's vessel, and swept from off the
earth as with the bosom of destruction,
as were the Jaredites and Nephites, thai

DR.. Sturtecant on Breeding.

At meeting of the New Hampshire
Board OF Agriculture at Concord, DR.. +.
Lewis Sturtevant of Massachusetts, is re-
ported-in the American Cutiyator-as
saying that our only hope of better stock
is in thorOughbreds, though he believes
with MIR. Burleigh Of Maine that an "ill-
bred thoroughbred" is the worst kind OF
an animal. He would recommend pure
bred stock only to those who could take
care Of ordinary animals. He favored
close breeding, if arrested before evil re-
suits were discovered, or at that very
time judicious breeding would allow
close relationship of sire and dam. Breed
four points that you most desire, and intro
duce now and then single strain from
another family Of the same class, and
evil results are prevented. He had prac-
ticed close breeding over one year too long
with his fowls, for this year scarce one III
a hundred of his eggs proved fertile. He
should adopt the course to take in new
blood in his Ayrshire stock when he
could find what he wanted.

SOit for Hops.

Soil for the growth of hops should con-
tain a good quantity of vegetable matter
to assist it in resisting the effect OF
drought. Vegetable matter retains mois-
ture to a greater extent than any other
constituent of the soil, and the larger
the proportion contained in the soil the
eSs it will suffer from the drought. Much
Of the hop soils are Of sandy nature
and contain only a small amount OF veg
etable matter. This defect can be sup
piled by applying swamp muck literally
and frequently. Among the best tertl-
lizers to apply to hops are wood ashes,
plaster, guano, and superphosphate, OF
plenty Of barnyard manure. The Eng
fish regard lime Us of much importance.
An English writer thus describes the best
soil for hop growing; "The hop delights
in the richest lands, a deep mould and
light if mixed with sand, the better a
black garden mould being excellent tor
it. Hops cannot be cultivated to adyan-
tage except on strong, rich land Of con-
siderable depth Of soil, which must be

In answer 10 your correspondent who
having read that the seed of the sun
flower Is the most healthy feed that can
be given 10 horses in winter and spring,
half pint day keeps them in health
and spirits, with sleek coats, and more
animated than any other feed. 1t pre-
vents heayeS and some other diseases, -
and he inquiries if there is any truth in
il.
have = large number Of horses under
my care, and had the above feed reco-
mmended to me. l gave it trial, and
found it TO do good, it bringing horses
into good condition in a short time.
The seed contains an oil which the horse
seems to relish, when the seed is mixed
with other food and given in half pint
doses, it aids digestion aud acts as a mild
laxative, and as such may prevent some
cutaneous diseases and other disorders
arising through constipation. l have
never used it as a preventive of heaves,
but know it to give relief to horses affiic-
ted with them. l have also used it with
good results on q horse whose lungs had
been left impaired by severe attack OF
pneumonia, and whose respiration was
difficult and laborious, and it afforded con-
siderable relief
The following Is also very good food
for horses, and may be used for the same
purposes as the above it is composed OF
two quarts oats, one bran, and half pint
hsxseed The oats arc first placed in the

an old rug, and allowing it TO thus rest
for five hours, when it is mixed and ready
for use. The bran absorbs while retain
ing the yapor, and the Aaxseed binds the
oats and bran together. A greater guam
tity Of faxseed would make the prepare
ton too oily and less reliShed. One feed
per day is sufficient; it is easily digest

animals. 1t also tends to fatten.-Scien-

Gilbert White tells a most dramatic
story of a neighbor who had lost most OF
his chickens by sparrow-hawk that came
gliding down between a faggot pile aud
the end Of his house, to the place where
his coops stood. The owner, vexed to
see his flock diminishing, hung a net
between the pile and the house, into which
the bird dashed aud was entangled. Inc
centleman's resentment suggested a ut
retaliation he therefore clipped the
hawks wings, cut off his talOns. and
fixing a cork on his bill. threw him down
among the brood-hens. Imagination
