PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JULY 14,1978 Wirst Aid Treatment For } . • . . ' ' ' ' * i Lime Deposits In Washer Canning-Pickling Old Recipes Can Become Killers The repeated use of many of oonphosphate detergents will jeause a white deposit or coating on washer tubs, pumps and other washer parts. This happens because these detergents contain sodium carbonate (washing soda) Ivhich precipitates or settles but in water, says ^Nancy lloore, University of Illinois Extension home economist. jVhen sodium carbonate is combined with the calcium in the water, calcium or lime is formed This will occur in all water but the harder the water, the faster it happens While this residue will not harm stainless steel tubs, it is unsightly and its roughened surface could cause fabric abrasion To remove the residue from stainless steel tubs, Nancy Moore recom mends that you: fill the washer with hot water; add 3 to 4 measuring cupfuls of vinegar or 4 percent acetic acid, agitate to mix, stop the washer and let the tub soak 30 to 60 minutes depending on the severity o« the deposit. Overnight soaking may be needed and let the washer proceed through the cycle including the rinse. Because porcelain do^s not have the chemical resistance of stainless steel, the removal treatment must be less severe. The milder treatment will be less effective than that used on stainless steel. To remove the tesidue from porcelain tubs Mrs. Moore recommends that you fill the washer with warm (not hot) water. Heat hastens any chemical action, add 3 cups vinegar or 4 percent acetic acid, and let washer proceed through the cycle including rinse. Avoid soaking or use a short soak -- 15 to 20 minutes. Some of the nonphosphate detergents may remove some gloss from procelain tubs. This gloss cannot be restored. The tubs will become recoated from continued use of nonphosphate detergents. Mrs. r- Moore does not recommend their use if it is legally possible to use phosphate detergents. Phosphates tie up the hard­ ness minerals in the water causing them to be inactive, says Mrs. Moore. For this reason, phosphate detergents do not cause a coating to form on clothes or tub, although hard water may cause a dull ap­ pearance on clothes coated with a lime residue. The side panel of detergent packages will state whether or not they contain phosphate.

GRAND DETOUR SITES: ALTERNATIVE TREKS FOR MUSEUM BUFFS By Gojan Nikolich Museum buffs, take heed: If jeweled Grecian masks, mummified Egyptian ducks and the arecheological profundities of pre-Columbian fertility sandals leave you bored stiff then take note of just two alternative Illinois destinations for that next weekend trip Time Was Museum-Braced alongside a bank of the little creek where James Butler- alias Wild Bill Hickock- used to fish, Mendota's famous Time Was museum lets you remember your memories via an almost bewildering treasure of nostalgic items from the 19th century and early 1900's. There are no Abysinian warrior sheilds, no Mycenaean urns, no Macedonian finger flutes just plain old Americana, a rich and entertaining compendium of the not-so long ago Remember the slow and glorious ride of a rear-engine 1908 Orient Blackboard9 Whether you do or not, the museum highlights a collection of over thirty antique cars, many of them in mint con­ dition; all of them seem showroom ready- Housed in several buildings near Routes 51 and 34 in nor thern Illinois, the Time Was museum includes an entire floor of antique toys Divided into thematic and easily ex­ plored sections, the museum also includes several walk-in period rooms which are fur­ nished in authentic antiques Subtle touches include a "piped in" cooking aroma which is maintained in the kitchen display via a special cinnamon fragrance Founder and owner Ken Butler < no relation to Wild Bill > realized early during his project that the secret to the museum was to illustrate the peculiarities of daily life An example of his vision can be seen in such exhibits as the old time bottle display; the collection includes hundreds, from milk, whiskey and pop containers, to ancient canning and syrup bottles Old timers might get a warm glow from seeing artifacts from the early 1900's Buggies, an tique "pumper" fire engines, country sleighs, farm equip ment, kitchen utensils, even old fashioned barbershop items. Several rooms along a Main Street display have been refurbished into a barbershop, a general store, a sweet shop, and a printers shop. Housed in one building is a priceless collection of circus cars and wagons; also highlighted is a scale model circus whick took twenty years to construct. Farm equipment ranges from tractors to threshers to prairie carriages that haven't been seen for over seventy-five years. The museums also boasts, in ad­ dition to its unmatched auto collection, a rare 1910 Stanely Steamer Kids under 6 are free. Hours are daily (May through Nov. 1), from 9 a m to 6 p.m John Deere Slte-The year was 1836 when John Deere, then a young blacksmith newly arrived from Vermont, first, stepped off a riverboat at. Grand Detour, 111. Spending; little time in setting up hi& trade, Deere soon discovered a popular complaint among the area farmers who brought in their broken shears, mold boards and other implements for repair The problem was with plows: they wouldn't work The rich Illinois dirt stuck to them like peanut butter So Deere tinkered a (while, experimented for a time/with a broken saw blade H^^rked in his dirt-floored forgffshop. The next year he tried his new gimmick at a nearby farm It worked Presto- the world's first self- scouring plow, one that would revolutionize American agriculture and turn the fledgling Deere blacksmith shop into an international multi-million dollar coporation. For a weekend visit to the John Deere Site, now a National Historic monument, drive north on Route 52 from Old recipes and methods may cause canning and pickling problems. Results may be loss of quality or complete spoilage and a waste of time, says Judy Troftgruben, University of Illinois Extension food and nutrition specialist. Remember in grandmas day, spring cleaning of the fruit cellar meant throwing out a lot of home canned food that had spoiled. Many old recipes are "hand- me-downs" that assume the user knows what to do. They do not state critical steps. This can lead to disaster for the person who follows the recipe step for step. Old recipes often lack processing instructions. The directions may not specifically call for heating the filled jars in a boiling water bath or a pressure canner. Old recipes may say, "Pack in sterilized jars and seiyL" Omitting processing is dangerous because the food may not be preserved. All foods, except jellies, need processing in the jars to sterilize the food and com­ pletely seal the jars. Why didn't all the food spoil when the old directions were followed? Just luck. Sometimes the jars contained spoilage organisms; sometimes they didn't. Why play Russian roulette with what you've canned? A short processing time insures that the food won't spoil, says Ms. Troftgruben If you do not process food in the jars for the correct time, you may lose more than food. You cannot detect all spoilage. Without knowing it, you could use spoiled food and cause serious illness or even death, so use modern processing directions, even if you're using an old recipe that doesn't call for them, says Ms. Trof­ tgruben Some old canning methods can also cause spoilage or serious illness. Oven canning is dangerous. With this process, the food does not reach a temperature higher than the boiling point. This is not high enough to kill the bacteria which cause botulism, s deadly poison During oven processing jars break easily. You can lose your product and you may be bur­ ned Some jars explode, and flying glass is more of a risk than any batch of canning is worth So do not oven can, warns Mrs Troftgruben.Use a poultry and for all vegetables, except tomatoes. For tomatoes, fruit and pickles use a boiling water bath canner The specialist reports that old recipes present problems. Measurements may be inac­ curate. The recipes may call for ingredients that are no longer available. Products have changed over the years, too Vinegar is a good example. Most vinegar sold today is 4 to 6 percent acetic acid So an old recipe may have worked well with pressure canner for meat and stronger vinegar, but it may fail if you use 5 percent vinegar The acid must be strong enough to preserve the pickles Before using a recipe, make sure you understand all of the steps, can obtain all of the right ingredients and have a proper processing time and method she continues If you have questions about canning or pickling, contact Nancy Moore or Kathi Heberer, McHenry county home economics extension advisers !

The John Deere foundation maintains the original Deere property; the vintage blacksmith shop, with its wooden floorboards supporting an early 19th century plow and crude period implements, has been restored by archeologists A working forge and heavy leather bellows make it seem as if brawny Deere were about to return and start up shop on a damaged pitchfork. There's also a visitor's center near the Deere family home, which is still furnished as it was when the blacksmith lived there nearly 150 years ago. The John Deere site is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., March 15 through Nov. 15; and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Nov. 16 through March 14. Guides are available to escort you through the site buildings.
