An orange-colored still — a modern-day version of the copper kettle and tubing— is housed in a new building behind Edward F. Miller’s hog farrowing sheds, along with a pair of cookers and eight fermentation tanks. Miller uses the alcohol in his tractors, whose power has been increased by the ethanol mixture. He feeds his animals the corn mash, called stillage. The distillary' will also provide hot water heat to Miller’s farm house and farm buildings and pro duces carbon dioxide for a green house. Miller, 54, built the distillery for his daughter, Mary Catherine, 32, to operate. She had open heart surgery two years ago and had to discontinue her work in Amish Mennonite missions in South America. “My father and a friend went to see about producing alcohol for the farm to save on fuel,” Miss Miller said. “They were enthused and dad said it was something I could do. ” M iss Miller, who wears her hair up under a white lacy bonnet com mon to Amish women, said mem bers of her family are not from the strict branch of the religion and are thus allowed to use electricity, vehicles and telephones. She said friends and family members initially considered the distillery “just another one of dad’s experiments. “He’s always been the first to go into something new in the com munity, she said. “But I wouldn’t be surprised if the others try it, too, once they see it is working.” Her responsibilities will be to monitor the distilling process, “pushing the switches at the right time,” and to care for some 150 plants in the greenhouse, which is the first of its kind to get its carbon dioxide from a still. The hydroponic growing sys tem allows plants to grow in plastic tubes filled with a liquid nutrient — a combination of water, carbon dioxide and plant food — instead of soil. “We will raise tomatoes, let tuce, cabbage and almost any kind of vegetable,” Miss Miller said. “But we can’t do carrots, potatoes or root vegetables because you couldn’t get them out of the pipes. The Millers’ distillery, which is still under construction, will pro duce about 300 gallons of ethanol each day. It now produces be tween 150 and 200 gallons a day. Miss Miller said 40 bushels of corn are needed for each 100 gal lons of alcohol produced. She said a third of the com will come from the family farm, hut the remain der will be bought from other farm house and Miller is in! pipes to carry water, which to cool the still and reaches 180 degrees, to thehousefoi “The engineers say it shot plenty to keep our places M iss Miller said. "But! think they’re going to tearo j| furnaces right away, them for backup.” I ;xas A& She said it also will heal J incentra Miller’s farm will use about 5 percent of the alcohol and the rest will be sold to local farmers or large distributors. Neighbors are already buying the com mash for feed, she said. “They say the cattle go crazy over it,” Miss Miller said with a smile. “I guess it still has a little alcohol in it.” A trench has been dug leading from the distillery to the main nursery, the milking two farrowing sheds.

"Stress by itself has a potential for self-sabotage on the one hand, or growth and expansion on the other,” said Dr. Herbert Spiegel of the Columbia Upiversity Col lege of Physicians and Surgeons. “Stress may offer an opportun ity to apply experiences of the past to new situations and occasionally may help one see new connections in an inventive or creative way. In this sense, stress can be a desir able asset leading to growth, ex hilaration and a sense of well being.” “It is the inability to cope with stress — adequately and over time — that produces distress,” Spiegel said. Here are some of his prescrip tions for dealing with stress: — Try to regulate the frequen cy and intensity of your emotional responses to stressful events. “If you tend to hold things inside, try to talk them out. If you are easily excitable, try to think before you act. Give yourself five seconds to think over a response before you begin to react. — When you are faced with a situation that you expect will be stressful, rehearse your reaction to the point where you feel com fortable with the situation. — Make sure poor health habits don’t affect your response to stress. Avoid cigarettes, get proper rest, avoid excessive alco hol, get proper exercise and limit caffeine intake. — Try to adapt to situations which you cannot control.
