MoRNoE CAVE, WHITE PINE DISTRICT.
The Treasure City News, of March 9th,
saws:
In a low range of mountains, lying west of
the southern portion of the ERan range. and
on the route between this city and Peterson
district, is found one of the most extensive
and remarkable caves on the continent,
second only to the great Mammoth Cave of
Kentucky. As this was once used as re
sort and cache by the Mormons, and, we
believe, fortified by them, we have, therefore,
called it the Mormon Cave. 1t was once ex-
plored by Lieutenant Seamands for dis
lance of about two miles through its interior
passages and caverns, but no end was reach
ed Being in the distant wilderness, it
attracted but little attention. and the fact of
its existence was almost forgotten The
progress of settlement has now brought civil
izaton to the neighborhood of this great
natural curiositv and in few years we may
expect it to become one of the fashionable
resorts of the summer tourists. In anticipa-
ton of this, a mai named Cook has made
homestead claim of the ground surrounding
the entrance, and is making a well graded
and marked walk leading into it and its
numerous branching avenues. This viii
enable visitors to explore it without danger
of being lost.

WOODEN CAR WHEELS are becoming a
fixed fact. and are being adopted on the
railroads in the Atlantic States. The Hud
son River Railroad Company has recently
placed twelve of the " Mansell wooden car
wheels " on their drawing room These
wheels cost treble the price of the ordinary
cast-iron wheels, but this is regarded Of
liitle consequence compared with the advan-
ta9e gained by their use They ride smooth
ly, make conversation, reading, and even
writing. not only possible. but an easy task
on the cars. They are made of Thoroughly
seasoned elm or teak, with steel tires :;
ve.r durable, only one accident having ever
occurred to one of them, and that through
tine carelessness Of a workman and will
wear, bv reason of their elasticity and dura-
bill :, over four hundred thousand miles of
railway, while the average use of the Ordi-
nary wheel is but fifty thousand miles, after
which it is necessary to break it up.

How to Save Seed Corn.

Good seed is of the utmost i'm
sportanee for large yield of corn
save my seed in the Fall, when 1
shusk out my corn, as then l have a
] chance of picking out the largest
and most perfect ears from the whole
! crop, which throw into old barrels
, and set away in dry place. Seed
corn should be kept very dry, as q
little moisture in very cold weather
win injure the germ. I have saved
~ seed corn in this manner for ten
years, and have not failed in having
good stand, while SONG of my
Ghbers have Rad to complain
terly of their corn not coming.
The next most important thing in
saving seed corn, is to select the best
variety. We want the lirgest yarie-
ty that will mature well before frost.
Most of the large varieties viii ma.
ture in this latitude (40b, and even
further north, if planted before the
18th of May. After the 18th, it is
bestto plant less, and consequently
an early variety.
Some save their seed from stalks
that bear two and three ears. Ger
tainly there is nothingl gained in.
