Place in the refrigerator to chill and, before serving, top with sweetened and flavored whipped cream. If you' have no cream on hand, beat an egg white until stiff with one teaspoonful of currant jelly and one tablespoonful of powdered sugar, or, cut up some soft marsh- mallows with the scissors and mix them with the fruit. Fruit Fluff. Crush 4 cupfuls of fresh fruit, as raspberries, peaches, etc., or canned pineapple (drained) and add sugar to sweeten and 1 teaspoonful of lemon juice. Add one-half cupful diced soft marshmallows. Chill for at least two hours. Just 'before serving add one cupful cream whipped. Pile in sherbet glasses; top with a single tiny rose of sweetened whipped cream and garnish with a berry or small strip of the fruit.

Place in the refrigerator to chill. Prepare one cupful of any desired fruit, crushing it or cutting it in small cubes; add one-half cupful of fruit sugar and the unbeaten whites of two eggs. Beat slowly with a fork until the fruit is combined with the egg white. Then beat rapidly until the mixture is stiff. Place in the refrigerator to chill. Before serving, pile the fruit lightly on top of the junket. 'WEIERT TO CUT CORN FOR SILAGE The moat palatable and most nutri- tious corn silage is secured from corn that is fairly ripe when cut. Here at the Iowa station we have found that the best time to cut the corn for the silo is after the kernels have well passed the milk stage and when all have begun to dent. Naturally some of the earlier ears will be quite dent- ed and the lower leaves will have started to dry. When corn is cut at this stage and is immediately ensiled it will not need additional water. However, if the bundles lie in the field a few hours they dry rapidly and water must be added. There are advantages in ensiling corn that is yet in the milk stage. The stalks are greener and need no addi- tional water. Also, even if delays are encountered and the silo filling is not completed for several days, the last corn cut will not be too ripe. Nevertheless, the objections to early cutting outweigh the advantag- es. The early cutting catches the corn when its yield of dry matter is considerably less than it would be later. The silage from the green corn also has a lower feeding value: per ton than that from more mature corn. Another serious objection to the use of corn that is too green is that the resultant silage is of a poor quality. It is of a dark color, has a foul odor and is generally unpalat- able. IS TEIERE A BABY IN YOUR NOMlE? Is there a baby or young children in your home If there is you should not be without a box of Baby's Owu Tablets. Childhood ailments come quickly and means should always be at hand to promptly fight them. Baby's Own Tablets are the ideal home remedy. They regulate the bowels; sweeten the stomach; banish constipation, and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers—in fact they relieve all the minor ills of little ones. Concerning them Mrs. Moise Cabotte, Makamik, Quebec, writes : "Baby's Own Tablets are the best remedy in the world for little ones. My baby suffered terribly from indi- gestion and vomiting, but the Tablets soon set her right and now she is 4n perfect health." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. 111-1EY CALL IIT "iEHELL'S HALF ACRE " I have just seen LLYY"".HCCell's Half Acre." It is probably the most impressive sight of its kind anywhere in the whole world. It is the show -place of the Turner Valley oilfields (in Alberta) so far as its spectacular appeal is concern- ed. To a humble private individual who has to pay $30 to $35 a month in the winter for natural gas to heat hie home, "Hell's Half Acre," is a sad and dispiriting sight, just as soon as the individual recovers from his first shock of awe at the scene he beholds and begirts to wonder how many mil- lions of cubic feet of gas are being wasted every hour of the day and night. Those millions of cubic feet of gas are ignited as they are releas- ed from two stand -pipes, directing their fiery discharge downward ove: sloping banks into a little creek that runs into Sheep creek. Imagine, if you can, more gas than is burned in every furnace and boiler in Edmonton or Calgary, blazing its way down into a small half acre of sloping banked creek—and try to formulate some picture in your mind of the awesome effect thus produced. The small ravine which is "Hell's Half Acre" lies about half a mile from the Royalite Company's scrub- bing plant in the Turner Valley oil field and about 200 yards from the valley's most famous well—Royalite No. 4. "Wet" gas from a number of Roy- alite wells is piped into the big plant there for two operations—the first, for the separation of the naphtha from the wet gas; the second, to sc purify the de-nauhthaed gas that it will be safe and healthful to use in industrial plants and for domestic heating and cooking in the various centres to which it- is piped. So vast is the volume of production of gas, however, that there is always —and particularly in the summer months—an over -production of gas, A COLUMN EVERY DAY KEEPS THE BAILIFF AWAY Arthur Brisbane, America's most widely -read newspaperman, visited Canada in August for the first time in many years. He had only a few hours to spare while holidaying on the Pacific coast, and it had been his intention to motor from Seattle to Vancouver, but friends dissuaded hint by pointing out that Vancouver "was just another hustling American city" while Vittoria was "more English than any city in England itself." So Mr. Hearst's famous columnist. took t'he boat for Victoria and spent four happy hours there. His recep- tion was probably more cordial than would have been the case in days not so very remote when Mr. Brisbane excelled in twisting the lion's tail, a form of sport in which he seldom in- dulges nowadays, Victoria reporters who were assign- ed to interview Mr. Brisbane did not find him an easy subject. He asked infinitely more questions than he an- swered. He has an insatiable curi- osity which, allied to a retentive mem- ory, is largely responsible for the prominent position he holds in journ- alism. d"I work altogether by dictation, through a dictaphorne," said lir.

This gas has to he discharged some- how. To -day the only plan is to burn it out in the open, where the fumes from this giant holocaust may escape into the air and he Idea n away by the breezes, which always seem to be more or less rampant in the valley. So from the various wells whose gas production i fed through the! Royalite plant the over -production is led through two f encr-inch pipes to 1 the head of the small ravine, which is "Hell's Half Acre," and there burn- ed. Forcing itself through the two pipes at a pressure of 1O( pounds to the square inch, the ga- does not ignite until it is 20 or an feet from the en•l of the pipe. The huge pressure ani condensation produces intense' cold, resulting in a strange paradox. All along the length of the two pipes and out to the edge whence bursts this terrific volume of gas there clings always a thick coating of ice, It is similar to the coating seen on the pipes of refrigerating plants— a thick white coating that is but lit- tle disturbed by the most ardent of summer sunshine and that thickens as the colder weather approaches. And here is how Hell's Half Acre looked and sounded 'Alen visited by the writer a few days ago, both at daylight and after dark. Ahead of us, as the ground rose, the ravine loomed up. We saw it through a watery curtain, looking against the sky, almost like peering through a glass window over which somebody - is playing a hose. "It's the fumes that make that queer curtain,".our guide yelled into our ear. The roaring as of some great cat- aract—incessant—unceasing -terrify- i ng. Then we topped the knoll and Hell's Half Acre burst upon our view. Two huge torrents of flames pour- ed down a brown hillside into a small ravine, through whose depths flowed a small creek. Down and down soared the flames, ravine to the grass roots. The sc ravine to the grass roots. The scorch- ing flames seemed literally to suck up the water from the little creek, s s that the steam rose in a thin loud to meet the devouring mon st.er shove. Green grew the hanks of the ravine, delicate in shades of tender grasses and willows, with little foothill flowers nodding their heads and the prairie wild rose peeping shyly forth from other clumps of hush—only the roses were white instead of deep pink --bleached by the fumes from those two devastating fires. Then, as the little ravine met the scorching monster, the green of grace and willow lost itself in an arid waste of brown clay, every vestige of vege- tation long since burned off by the flames. Irl Sheer across to the opposite bank of the ravine went that terrible brown sore in the green heart of the banks, while downstream trees that had once been green little tamarac or jack - pine were now but a gaunt mess of blackened branches and burned twigs. Fir a long distance down the rav- ine the little creek steams and boils, until at last the cooler air and the cooler hanks soothe its tortured wa- ters and it resumes some more nearly normal temperature --though not un- til it unites with the parent streams does that overpowering heat depart. Seen by daylight. Hell's Half Acre is a wonderful sight. hut it reaches the acme of the spectacular when the shades of night descend and the yel- low flames roar triumphantly—a very inferno such as Dante might have conceived. The rushing torrent of flame—the tortured stream beneath—the cloud of steam ---the burned hanks ----the gaunt trees thatpoint through the glare like spectral fingers—the ghast- ly red glare that lies over stream and ravine and the surrounding hills and that reflects itself against the stream- ing red skies overhead—all these form a picture which, once seen, can never he forgotten. And at night, within the awful cir- cle of that raging inferno, the ter- rible roar of the gas seems to become intensified. The combination of weird sight and terrifying sound has a pe- culiar effect en the senses. One gazes fearsomely, as though expecting momentarily to see t' very hosts of hell arise out of th. heart of that fiery furnace. At hest, one expects to see some titanic red - can, massive hammer in hand, sudden- ly materialize into view. And how one listens, too! For ten miles down the valley the roar oL Hell's Half Acre greets the ear. From], thirty or forty miles distant th® skies glow red over the ravine whemr burn those baleful flares. pry aloaz1 a C lc l »o 1 aiverm'a Chance e Absorbine, Jr., spells death to dim= !Terms and infection.
