GARDEN GUIDE Composting garden refuse has many advantages for home gar- deners, state horticulturists with the Ontario Department of Agri- culture, It is a good source of organic matter for improving garden soils and eliminates sup- plements of manure and other organi material. A compost pile provides a handy disposal place for grass clippings and leaves. Almost any kind of plant re- fuse can be used in compost, including cabbage stems, dead foliage, discarded fruits and vegetables, leaves, grass clip- pings, and weeds, provided they have not reached the seeding stage. Branches and _ twigs should not be usétl as they take too long to break down.

Make By KEN SMITH system to feed furnace oil into private homes through under- ground pipelines, eliminating lthe need for bulky oil tanks in basements, is being installed at a suburban housing develop- ment. : If it proves successful, it could increase the already hot competition among oil, gas and electricity in the rich home- heating field. The pipeline system to serv- ice 160 homes in Scarborough is being installed by a private company, Domestic Oil Trans- mission Systems Ltd., holds patents on the concept. Although the idea of fuelling private homes by oil pipelines has been talked about for a long time, this is believed to be |the first major practical at- tempt in Canada | The system, which can be ex- |panded to include another 90 homes, consisis of a 15,000-gal- lon central tank, fram which oil will be pumped through buried pipes to the homes. In every home will be a specially de- signed meter to record the amount of fuel used. Home-owners will pay the normal local price for the oil-- 18.1 cents a gallon--but will save the cost of an oil tank as well as gaining the extra space in their basements. SERVICE BURNERS The oil company that supplies the central tank will service the oil burners in the homes. In ef- fect, the oil supplier will lease the supply system from mestic Oil for a 20-year period. If a homeowner is not satis- fied with the service he. gets from the oil company, he can disconnect his home from the system, get an oil tank installed and deal with any supplier he wishes. Ronald B.
