To the Governor of this State.

SIR.-lt has been found that the system Of
sub-districts upon which the enrolment was
made, and which was established mainly %
expedite the enrolment, does not agree in all
cases with the subdivisions by which States
raise their troops. 1t is found also that some
diversity exists in the different States in re-
gard to the subdivisions or minor organiza-
uons to which the people resort for the
transaction of local public business.
1t is desirable that these organizations
should be adhered to. as far as possible IN
raising volunteers You will therefore con
fer with the Governor OF the State, and such
others Of the State officers as may seem nee
essary, and change the present system of en-
rOlment sub-districts, 50 as to make them
agree with the municipal districts to which
the States resort in raising troops. As far
as possible, Congressional Districts will be
lett whole as units, and they will be sub-di-
vldcd into towns, boroUghs, counties, &c,
as indicated abOve.-In large cities, wards
will probably be the best subdivisions.
After you have arranged the Subdivisions
as above. YOU will make u report Of them,
giving their number and names in each Con
gressional District, and stating how they
correspond with the suh-districts under the
old system. Then. whenever man volunteers
and is mustered into the service, he is 10 be
credited to some particular locality, which
shall be a sub-district, and m the event of
draft. it will he made from the samc sub-dis-
tricts The enrolment list will show % what
sub-district each person belongs under the
new system. and the quota of the sub-district
can BE- assigned accordingly.
Ii l. believed that by the united action Of
the Boards of enrolment and the State civil
a system can be thus established
and carried into effect, which Will / G equita-

APPLE SCIONS,

Scions may be cut at any time be-
tween the falling of leaves in autumn
and the starting of buds in the spring.
When taken off in the fall, one method
of preserving them is to bury them a
foot or two deep in the earth. l once
set several hundred which had been kent
in this way. They appeared as fresh
when taken from the ground as those
recently cut from the tree nearly all
lived and made good growth. In this
case trench was dug, and some straw
laid at the bottom; the scions laid on and
another layer of straw put over them.
and the trench then filled with earth.
When taken from the trees in winter,
my method Of keeping them is to put
the lower ends in loose earth on the bot
tom of the cellar, and put box over
them to retain the moisture.
When cutting scions, we should be
careful to select frst-class varieties of
thrifty growth, with we'll developed buds
and from healthy trees. Scions may be
sent hundreds Of miles by mail, if en-
Veloped in oiled silk to exclude the air.

RELIEVING CHOKED CATTLE.

Relieving choked cattle is Of no small
Importance, considering their liability
to be choked, and the danger of remov-
ing the cause. There are several ways
used for relief, among which are, fore
ing the substance down with stick,
firing gun under the belly, holding up
one leg while the animal attempts to
walk, crushing the offensive substance
by two mallets, &C., &c.
But are they sure and ready means of
relief: A writer on this sub ject thinks
not. l once saw fine COW relieved at
night by the first method, which died
before morning, the stick having passed
through the gullet. l have seen the
fourth method work well in crushing
apples, but should think potatoes too
hard. The other methods I have not
proved, but will give one that l have
proved; having relieved several within
few years, and two last fall. 1t is
easy safe and sure, not requiring more
than two minutes.
Tie up the animal with its nose in
cllned upwards, either by rope around
the horns and head, or by two men
holding it. Let strong man, with his
thumb and fore6nger placed below the
substance in the gullet, force it upward
to the mouth, as far as possible, keep
ing the grasp, and pressing the wind
pipe at the same time, causing a cough,
by which the apple or other article is
thrown into the mouth. This I have
not known to fail. As to tapping the
animal when bloated, remove the cause.
give gentle exercise for several hours.
and tap only as a last resort Cores

HOW THEY MAKE HOTBEDS I'M
GERMANY.

Take white cotton cloth of a close
texture, stretch and nail it on frames of
any size you wish: take two ounces of
llme-water, four ounces Of linseed oil.
one ounce Of white Of eggs, two ounces
Of yelk Of eggs; mix the lime and oil
with very gentle heat, beat the eggs
well separately, mix them with the for
mer: spread the mixture with a paint
brush over the surface Of the cotton,
allowing each coat to dry before another
is put on, until they become water
proof. The following are the adyanta-
ges this shade possesses over a glass
one: First, the cost is hardly one fourth.
Second, repairs are easily made. Third,
they are light; they do not require wa
terlng, no matter how intense the heat
OF the sun the plants are not struck
down or burnt, faded or checked in
growth neither do they grow up so
long, sickly and weakly as they do un-
der glass, yet there is abundance of
light. Fourth the heat arising from
below is more equable and temperate,
which is great object. The vapor
arising from manure and earth is con-
densed by the cool air passing over the
shade and stands in drops on the inside,
and therefore the plants do not require
as frequent watering. If the frames
are large they should be intersected by
cross bars about foot square to support
the cloth. These articles are Just the
thing for bringing forward seeds in
season for transplanting.
