Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 288, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 December 1912 — Good Stove Lining. [ARTICLE]

Good Stove Lining.

A good stove lining, one that will last two years or more, can be made from blue clay. Brick clay, or one that does not contain much sand, is good, also. Clay found in salt water marshes is one of the best for stove linings. The clay must be reduced to a paste, about like putty. The bed for lining should be brushed clean and moistened before the clay is applied. Put on with hands, smooth with a trowel or thin piece of board. —Home Department, National Magazine.
