Deep cultivation Of some crops is
equivalent to pruning the roots. This
is especially the case with corn, which
sends its roots in every direction, close
to the surface of the soil. Expert
ments in cultiyatihg corn show that
when the roots were cut two inches,
four inches and six inches below the
surface, the increase Of crops was
greater when the cultivation was shall
low, the greatest harm being done by
deep cultivation Mt the last stages of
growth of the plants. The object
should be to simply loosen the top soil
when cultiyating corn and to avoid
cutting the roots as much as possible.

BIG CAVE DISCOVERED.
Eighty Miles Due North of Spokane
in MetaIine District,

With walls and ceilings sparkling
with the brilliancy of diamonds, with
huge rooms, wide passage ways, dark
and mysterious places, while here and
there flashes a stream or sparkles a
pool of water, wonderful cave has
been discovered about so miles almost
due north of Spokane.
Reports state that it has been pene-
trated about 5000 feet or more than
half mile, but still the explorers have
been unable to find the end and how
much further it does extend or what
new wonders it contains still further
back is to be determined by later
search
Already two large compartments
each about 800 feet square have been
found, connected by a wide passage.
way. The cave is said to be in a gran
lite formation, which, if correct, would
make the existence Of such a huge
cavity appear all the more remarkable.
