STOCK MAINTENANCE RATION

The silo is almost indispensable for

MAMMOTH CAVE LONG FAMOUS

Wsrld's Wendsrs, Practically
since the Year 1ooo.

The most famous cavern in America

"Niksah" In the Chicago Daily Nsws.
Mammoth cave was an old Indian ret
uge. and the story Of redskin adven-
lures Is written plain In the skeletons.
tomahawks and reed torches that have
been found In the cavern depths.
Then, In 1909, . white man, . pioneer
hunter. followed a wounded bear into
the mouth Of the great cave. and from
that time on Mammoth cave became
In American estimation the eighth
wonder Of the world.
Almost a. soon ~ the white man
discovered the cavern he began to
make practical use Of 1t. Long before
the era of Indian possession bats had
inhabited the cavern halls and in the
course Of time their skeletons had &C.
cumulated on the floor. especially
near tho entrance. These skeletons,
containing nitrate, played an impor-
tant part in the war Of 1912. for
nitrate, 80 needed for making expl0'
sives, was scarce In the colonies and
the Mammoth cave became the main
source of supply.
When the country settled down to
q period Of comfortable prosperity,
Mammoth cave became. even more
than 1t is today, 4 great show place
of America. The caves history Is told
in the names Of the various rooms and
galleries. Jenny Lind and other artists
visited the cave and sang or played
the airs that had made them famous
in "Ole Bulls Concert Hall" or other
cavern corridors. In room since
named Booths Amphitheater," Edwin
Booth was inspired to declaim some
of the lines Of Hamlet before . small
and select audience.
