A CORRESPONDENT writes to the Scten-
tifc american that the worst toothache or
neuralgia coming from the teeth may be
speedily and delightfully."- ended by the
application of a small bit of clean cot
ton saturated in strong solution of am
monia to the defective tooth. Sometimes
the late sufferer is prompted to moment
airy nervous laughter by the application,
but the pain has disappeared.
BAKED APPLE DuNPLrNas. Roll out
some dough thicker than pie-crust, and
inclose a handful of sliced ripe apples
well covered with sugar and butter.
Bring the edges together as in any other
dumplings. When as many are made as
are desired, place them side by side in q
pudding pan, spread butter and sugar
over them and pour boiling water to about
half cover the dumplings. Put them in
the stove and cook moderately fast until
they are nicely Drowned. The butter,
sugar and water make nice sauce, which
can be enriched with more butter and
favored with nutmeg if desired.
MANAGEMENT OF DWARF TREES
Dwarf trees require more care than
| standards, as their forms are more ar
| tificial. These should branch near the
| ground, say eight inches to q foot. If
the young tree when planted had not
| branched so low it ought to have been
cut down to within three or four buds of
the point where the first branches are
desired. Those who have planted young
| trees intended for dwarfs or pyramids
no doubt attended to this matter at the
| time of planting. Now they must see
that regularity and uniformity of
| growth Is going on-that the leader is
! proceeding vigorously upward, and the
side branches nicely balanced-One not
robbing and outgrowing or overgrowing
the others, this is the point. If the cen
tral shoot grows upward too rapidly
pinch off half an inch of the terminal
| bud. If a side branch is disposed to
| grow faster than any other on the tree
| pinch the end. One can do anything he
may desire with young tree if he knows
how, when and where to pinch off the
buds.-N. Y Herald
| To CAN STRAwBERRIEs.-The follow
ing are reliable rules to be followed in
| putting up strawberries /. To a pound
of berries add one-quarter pound sugar
which should be sprinkled on the fruit
and remain over night; then place them
in porcelain kettle, let them come to a
boil, and can them at once; keep them
in dark, cool place, as the light will
discolor them, but will not injure their
| flavor. 2. Make sirup of white sugar
and water, bring to a boil, skimming il
necessary; throw into the boiling sirup
enough berries to fill one can; as soon as
they boil up skim out the berries into
the can and seal up; continue this till all
the fruit is disposed of. The sirup that
remains makes beautiful jelly. 3. After
removing the hulls, weigh the fruit and
then the sugar, taking pound for pound
Put the sugar with little warm water on
the stove, let it boil twenty minutes, put in
the fruit and let it just boil, taking care
that each berry gets scalded. Have the
cans ready and seal Immediately. KeeT
the fruit in the cellar in the dark. f. TC
one quart of berries take a teacuI
of white sugar with enough water tC
form sirup; when the sugar is perfectly
dissolved put in the berries and cook
fifteen minutes; can Immediately in tiT
and solder tightly. Keep in the cellar
In general, the berries should be canned
as soon as possible after they are taker
