MeXicO'S ROYAL Ghost.

The hot springs OF Las Siervas,
near Vale de Canizos, in remote
part OF the state of Guerrero, Mexico
have been visited by few people from
the outside world, but they are ia
nous in the legends and history of
the Indian tribes of that part of the
republic.
According to the natives, the waters
Of the springs possess great medicinal
properties. In ancient times the
springs were the favorite bathing re-
sort Of tn noble families Of. the Tepa-
neca, AlcOlhua and other tribes that
lived in that region
On both sides of the chief spring
there are huge rocks with hierogIyph-
les and the figures of women beauti-
fully carved. Judging from the robes
worn by the women, their stately APP
pearance and the jewels around their
necks, the figures must represent
princesses or ladies of very high
rank
The spring IL at the entrance to a
srOtto that has never been explored.
From The grotto rumbling sound re
sembling distant thunder il to be
heard all the time. According to ma
tives, the rumble is caused by the
ghost of King Excamina, who ruled
over that Part of the country three or
four centuries before the Spaniards
discovered America.
King Excamina, the tradition says,
was a. bad as man could be. He
murdered people merely for the pleas
ure OF seeing them die and committed
every crime. He had hi palace con
structed III another cave, which com
municated with that Of the spring by
a tunnel. There Excamina, in COM
pany with some of his favorites, had
orgies that lasted weeks and months
When he died an earthquake de-
stroyed his palace Since that day his
ghost has been haunting the cave

tives has ever dared 20 into the cave

TURKESTAN ALFALFA SEED
FOUND INFERIOR.
The Commercial Variety Both Higher
in Price And Poorer il Quality Than
Cline Home Grown Product.

a warning to alfalfa growers to
avoid the use of commercial Turkes-
tan seed is contained in Department
ment of Agriculture, which is shortly
to be issued under the title Com
mercial Turkestan Alfalfa Seed"
! Specialists of the Department have
been INVESTIGATING the comparative
merits of different kinds of alfalfa
seeds and have reached the conclusion
that there H. nothing To recommend the
Turkestan variety for general use i'm
this country. 1t Il, they say, par
ticularly unsuited to the humid climate
OF the East which, as matter of fact,
uses most of the Turkestan seed i'm
ported into this country. This seed is
also not sufficiently hardy to warrant
its general use in the upper Mississippi
| Valley, where hardness is an import
ant factor The investigators, how
ever, are careful to distinguish be
tween commercial Turkestal alfalfa
and special strains OF hardy alfalfas
that have been developed from Ger
tain introductions OF seed from Tur-
kestan. Valuable varieties Of alfal-
fas unquestionably exist in central
Asia, but these are at present only
fitted for use in experimental work
il breeding.
At the present time, approximately
one-fifth of the alfalfa seed used in
the United States i imported. OF
this quantity, practically all-95 per
cent in the last twelve months
comes from Russia Turkestan. La
the European market, commercial
Turkestan is the cheapest seed avail
able; in this country its wholesale
price is less than that Of domestic
seed. In spite of this fact, however,
a mistaken belief in its superior
qualities has resulted in raising its
retail price to point frequently above
that Of domestic seed No such pref
erence - shown in the alfalfa grow
IN regions OF Europe. There French
seed IL commonly considered the best,
with Italian ranking next, and Tur-
kestan last. Under these circum-
stances very little French and Italian
seed finds its way to the United
states, the bulk of the importations
being, as already stated, the cheap
commercial Turkestan.
Fortunately, growers who wish to
avoid this variety can readily identi-
- ~ ~ INC presence OF Russian
knapweed seeds. These seeds have
not been found anywhere except In
commercial Turkestan seed, and mere
they ale practically always present.
Russian knapWeed il in some ways
similar to quack grass, johnson
grass and Canada thistle, spreading
both by seeds and underground
rootstalks. The seeds are slightly
larger than those of alfalfa and can
not all be removed by any practicable
method Of machine cleaning. Their
chalky white color makes them es-
peoially conspicuous, and their sym
metrical form-slightly wedge shap-
ed-distinguishes them from the
notched seed OF other species often
found in varieties Of alfalfa from
other sections. The knapweed seeds.
however, are not usually found in
large quantities and any lot of al
falfa should, therefore, be examined
in bulk. The examination of small
samples is not sufficient to show
whether the alfalfa comes from
Turkestan or not.
