Claim additional heat by first digging a pit and filling it with rotting manure and then cover the manure with garden soil. Be sure that no drafts can penetrate the hotbed and put soil or straw against the sides to insulate it. Your hotbed produces a warmer -than - natural environment for your vegetables but remember that they will not grow as fast as those you plant in the warm days of May and June, so plan accordingly. For example, cabbages will probably take about eight weeks to 10 weeks to reach a 10 cm to 12 cm size (four in. to five in.) and three true leaves, as opposed to four to five weeks in the warmer months. Vegetables grown in your hotbed should also be "hardened off" during the last week before transplanting into the garden to make them more tolerant of drought, cold and winds. This is accomplished by expos- ing them to cooler temperatures by lifting the glass during the day and withholding water. When transplanting into the garden, lift young plants carefully, retaining as many roots as possible. Wet the soil in the hotbed a few hours before transplanting to make it easier to lift plants from the soil. Water plants thoroughly after transplanting into well-prepared, deeply worked, fertilized garden soil. More details on hotbed preparation are available through Agriculture Canada's Publication 1059/E. For vegetable garden requirements refer to the ministry's publication 536, available at local OMAF of- fices. Marcelle Laporte was one of many senior students who brought "Tara" to Central Huron Secondary School on Friday. He was involved in the decorating project for the senior prom to be held that night. This year's theme was Gone With The Wind and the school's main halls reflected scenes of the old south. (Wendy Somerville photo) Vinegar plays important role with _food "Oneproduct that every household should have on hand is white vinegar. Thisould save a trip to the superinarket or hardware store for more specialized products," says Margaret Loewen, clothing and textiles specialist with the rural organizations and services branch of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Vinegar plays an important role in food preparation and preservation, but some of its household uses are equally valuable although less well known. For example, it is great for removing household odors. Boil vinegar on the stove while cooking strong- smelling vegetables or other foods. Hardened paint brushes will .soften and clean more easily if boiled in vinegar. Old decals can be removed by'wetting them with vinegar using a sponge.. Let the vinegar soak in for a few minutes thenwash the decals off. If the vinegar is heated first, it will work faster. • To remove lime deposits from a tea kettle, fill the kettle with equal parts of vinegar and water. Bring to.a boil, then allow it to stand for several hours or overnight. Then rinse well with clear water. This same solution will clean the water container of a humidifier. - Vinegar can be used to clean steam irons too.. Fill the iron with a solution that is one part vinegar to three parts water: Let the iron steam then rinse. it out with clear water. A. pressing cloth dampened with vinegar will work wonderswith your wardrobe. Use it to press wool'trousers to remove a shine caused by much wear. Use it also to set sharp creases in hard -to -press fabrics like polyester doubleknit. This treatment also works well to remove the creases left by let - out seams and hems. Mix up your own window cleaner by ad - ding' 15 millilitres (one tablespoon) of vinegar to one litre (one quart) of warm water. Put into 'a spray container for easy application on glass. Clean brass and copper by rubbing with a mixture of 5001 mL (two cups) vinegar and 125 mL (half cup) of salt. Rinse articles well in clear water and dry thoroughly. A solution of equal parts vinegar and water will remove salt stains from leather , boots and shoes in winter. , For personal grooming, white vinegar can be used to remove fruit stains from your hands. When washing your hair, try adding 125 mL (half a cup) of vinegar to the final rinse wafer for a natural lustrous shine. Vinegar can be used in so many areas of living. The wise householder is never without it.
