Tips For Homemaker Remodeling a house suc­ cessfully take ingenuity, imagination, and sound judgment, says Nancy Moore, McHenry county Extension adviser. Typical deficiencies of older house include kitchen-work area poorly planned and equipped, little or no built-in storage, and poor traffic pat­ terns. Farm houses have additional problems, notes Mrs. Moore. Front entrances are rarely used, kitchens are improperly located for a view of the service area and driveway, bathroom or wash-up facilities for men coming in from work are lacking and usually there are not facilities for a farm- business area. Older hmises, however, have several a^ets, says Mrs. Moore TheyXhave good ex­ terior proportions* large rooms that respond well to reshaping and structural soundness sometimes unmatched in new construction. To determine if your house is worth the cost of remodeling, Mrs. Moore lists the following points to be considered. -Can the floor plan satisfy good planning principles and meet the needs of the family0 --Is the house structurally sound" --Will the windows need to be replaced? -Is the house properly oriented to the road or street? -Is a new heating system needed? -Is more insulation needed? -Is the electrical system adequate? -Is the water supply and the sewage disposal system adequate? -Is the family able to stand the financial burdens of remodeling? Guidelines to answer these questions and others are available in the Cooperative Extension Service's Family Housing Handbook. The Family Housing Hand­ book is available for a charge at the county Extension office, P.O. Box 431, Woodstock, 60098; on the second floor of the old court house on the Square in Woodstock. Proper care of pheasant from the time of shooting until the bird reaches the table will ensure good eating. Birds should be drawn as soon as possible after shooting. To remove the entrails, make a cut starting just below the breast bone up to the tail, and around the vent Pull out the entrails, being careful not to break them or the gallbladder sac on the liver. Remove the gallbladder, wipe out the cavity with paper towels, and put the liver with the heart and gizzard in a small plastic bag You can save time and mess by cutting off the fleshy ends of the gizzard and throwing away the center part. If convenient, pheasants may be easily dry-plucked when warm, but defeathering is difficult with a cooled bird. However, pheasants may be scalded and then defeathered. After scalding, finish dressing the bird being sure to remove the lungs, all entrails, crop, and oil sac. Some hunters prefer to skin pheasants. This method allows you to skin the bird and clean out the internal organs in one operation. Opinion varies regarding the need to age pheasants before cooking. Two to four days in the refrigerator is considered by some to be sufficient. A slow thaw in the refrigerator for frozen birds tenderizes the meat and develops the flavor. To freeze, wrap birds in heavy-duty aluminum foil or place them in heavy plastic bags. Seal, label, freeze, and hold at 0 degrees F. Use within 9 months. Thaw the bird slowly in its wrapper in the refrigerator to tenderize it and reduce moisture loss.
