Rolled Paper Can Make Fireplace Log If you are short of wood for the fireplace this winter and have bundles of old newspapers stored away, you cap solve the first problem with the second one Make logs from the papers. Here's one of the ways to do it. as suggested by a U. S. Department of Agriculture source: roll layers of newspapers tightly around a broomstick. Keep rolling until the log is as thick as you want, thin tie off the ends wiht wire or- string. Remove the broomstick. the log can be burned im mediately. but if you want to improve on the artificial fire log, take it a step further. Mix a tablespoon of detergent in a tub of water and soikk the paper logs overnight. R#move them the next day and knead them with your fingers, making them more compact for longer burning. The soaked logs must be allowed to dry thoroughly before they will bum, and this wfll take several weeks. Be patient. When they're dry, you should have a good, long burning fireplace log that will produce less fly ash than had yap burned it without soaking irtfhe detergent water. A shortage of kindling may be even more of a problem ttttn a shortage of firewood T$ere are solutions to that, too. Ufie such throw-aways as wax c dated milk cartons, for e^mple. If you have a pine trie or two in the yard, gather a nd keep the cones. They make fairly good kindling. Resist the temptation to sdfeed things up with gasoline oppther volatile liquids. This is a' dangerous practice and shouldn't be done Scotland has 126 inhabited Ufends and 564 uninhabited FROM LATE DAY through evening, simplicity of silhouette and vibrantly colored silk fabrics make these separates dramatic at any time.

(Fashions by Alice Blaine.) Save Ashes For Spring Garden Something to remember this winter as you clean out the fireplace is the nutrient value of wood ash. It's low level but it may be worth saving to use on plants or in the garden. Analyses or nutrient content of the ash will vary, depending on whether or not you are using hard or soft woods, point out North Carolina State University agricultural ex tension specialists. Generally, the ashes will contain about 45 per cent calcium carbonate, which is a form of lime: five to 10 per cent potash, and about two per cent phosphorus Due to the low analyses, the ashed should be considered a supplement to rather than a substitute for, fertilizers Wood ashes should be collected and stored in a dry place If they are piled outside and exposed to weather, they will lose much of the already low nutrient value to leaching. Wood ashes are useful for I bulb crops, fruit trees and grapevines. The ashes probably shouldn't be used around azaleas, camellias, blueberries and rhododen drons. These plants like a relatively acid soil and the ashes, because of their calcium content, tend to make the soil less acid. Proper Care For Appliances Small electrical appliances make enjoyable and much appreciated Christmas gifts. To maximize your new ap pliance follow the following recommendations from the specialist at NCSU: CARE AND STORAGE Always unplug an appliance before cleaning it to avoid shock. Check the manufacturer's recommended procedure for cleaning each appliance The general procedure is to remove any removable parts and clean them separately. Most appliances require only wiping with a damp cloth. For heavy dirt buildup, use warm I soapy water followed by a cool rinse. Always dry thoroughly to prevent rust and corrosion. Electrical cords should be rolled loosely, hung over a smooth broad surface and stored in a dry place. ? r We have high hopes it will be a great year. Thanks for your support and good will.
