One of the mysteries Of Mexico is
presented by the Maya Indians, who
inha bit the Sierra Madre mountains il
the lower part of Sonora. They have
fair skins, blue eyes and light hair, and
students OF ethnology have always
been puzzled TO account for them
There Is tradition, however, that
these Indians are the descendants OF
the crew and passengers of n Swedish
vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast
centuries before columbus discovered
the new world But this tradition is
founded on nothing more substantial
than folklore tale current among
them that their ancestors came over
the big salt water hundreds OF moons
ago.

Alfalfa meal, though only q very
short time on the market, has already
become an appreciated feeding stuff,
according to the Breeders Gazette,
Chicago. which says: Its chief handi-
cap has been its relative cost, but de-
spite that it has attained such wide
use that every alfalfa mill in the coun-
try has been pushed to its utmost ca
pacity for some time. This in a meas.
ure accounts for the phenomenal de-
mand which has existed for months
for well cured pea green third and
fourth cutting hay Of this sort. Pre-
diction among the best informed men
In the hay trade is that the demand
for good alfalfa hay is just starting
and that the product of the thousands
of acres of new seeding laid down each
successive year will attain ready
sale. The main rouble, it is alleged is
that SO far no machine has vet been
invented for the sole purpose of grind
ing alfalfa. However inventive genius
is at work on the problem, and it is to
De presumed that before very long an
alfalfa mill will be perfected that will
materially lessen the cost of grinding.
1t Is predicted that when this happens
milling alfalfa will be one of the lar
gest industries and equal to the -four
milling business now.
