Moonshine still produces energy
Amish man’s farm alcohol-powerei
United Press International
KALONA, Iowa — An Amish
farmer is reviving the distilling
process of moonshiner days to
make his 232-acre homestead
energy self-sufficient.
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.
Although there are oprai
costs, such as buying LPgajIa gccomplis
the still and electricih (oil
machinery, Miller said hell
to make a tidy profit from the
ture.

WASHINGTON — Doctors
know that too much stress can
weaken the body’s defenses
against disease but a New York
specialist says stress also can he
good for you.
"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. When

“A more effective appn
