The Wonders
of America
MAMMOTH CAVE, KENTUCKY.
By T. T. MAXEY

MAMMOTH CAVE. the largest of a
Ik number of caves in EdmOndson
county, Kentucky, is said to be the
largest cave known. 1t extends for
almost a mile below the surface of the
earth and contains about 100 miles of
passage ways. Here are displayed
perhaps the greatest and grandest ex-
amples in the world of the wonderful
work of water in underground sculptur-
ing.
Its discovery was another case OF
the hunter and the bear-1ate o
1890. The bear, wounded, crawled
into the ave and escaped. The hunt
er followed and discovered the cave.
A visit to this cave is certainly a
unique and wonderful experience. No
where else can it be duplicated. The
interior is a maze of dOmes, pits. halls,
chambers, pillars, temples, cascades.
caverns, ~crevasses, stalactites and
stalagmites, carved stone and other
characteristic and peculiar phenomena
and fairylike forms fashionable In
cave architecture. There are lakes and
rivers In it-one can bOatride on the
Echo river for half q mile. The lofty
limestone roof. 60 feet high in places.
and the battlemented shores reflect
and magnify every sound.
The Giants Coffin is the largest rock
in the ave. 1t is IS feet thick, AZ feet

Of many. is $50 feet high. Many varie-
ties of animal life are fOunu, including
eyeless fish and blind crawtsh. The
air is good and the temperature even
about "a degrees. There are several
routes through the cave, the longest re-
quiring a full day.

Recent Advanced Steps Have Been
Perfecting of Marketing System
Creating Much Interest and
Enthusiasm in Production.

Z Prepared by the United States Depart

Previous to 1914 the South shipped
40 cheese. In 1915, $1,000 worth vas
manufactured and shipped from south
ern mountain districts, and during
1917 cheese to the value of $246,0O0
was manufactured. There are now
AZ cheese factories in operation in the
mountain sections Of the South which
ship carloads of good quality cheese
to market periodically.
The rapid strides in the development
Of cheese factories in the mountain re-
glons of the South, as the result of the
efforts of the United States department
of agriculture, cooperating with state
horticultural colleges, is shown force
fully in reports of the progress of the
work coming to the department. No
cheese was shipped from the South
previous TO 1914. Although smaller
lots were shipped earlier, the first car
load of southern-produced cheese was
shipped from North Carolina and Ten
nessee on July "a, 1913. This was
a cooperative shipment from eight To-
cal factories and comprised about 49,

approximately % cents a pound.
