Because of the persistent Inquiries
relative to the merits and dem .rits OF
the wheat known locally as Alaska, >
the Idaho experiment stItion has
given the wheat a milling test and
subjected the flour so obtained I'd
chemical examination and baking
tests. The results of these tests, to
gether with such other information
concerning the wheat as could be
gathered from reliable sources, have
Just been published in bulletin form.
The wheat is apparently of the same
variety that is known i'll southern Eu
rope as Poulard, or Egyptian 1t Is
used there for making macaroni and
other pastes, and the flour made from
it is said to be in demand by certain
French markets.
Under field conditions the wheat
has not made any phenomenal yields,
averaging this year perhaps no better
than ordinar" winter wheat. The kerr
nels are large and plump and compare
favorably in appearance with much CT
the wheat that is raised in northern
Idaho; because of their size and shape
they are easily broken, however. and
care must be exercised in threshing to
prevent this.
The results of the milling tests
show that no particular difficulty is
met with in grinding the wheat. The
flour secured is described as sharp
and granular, and is capable of max
ing an excellent quality of biscuits.

CRAZED HUSBAND
ATTACKS HIS WIFE

Aberdeen, S. D., April 10.-Word has
reached here from Lennon. S. D., of
the arrest of Emmett Penfeld, a home
steader h has q claim six miles
southeast Of that town, on a charge Of
brutally ~assaulting his wife with a
stove poker. 1t is stated that Is Sc
rious wounds We're inflicted by the in
furiated man. some of which laid the
woman's brain bare.
When the sheriff reached the Pen
field home to arrest him, he found the
man sick in bed. He stated that he
committed the crime while delirious
from sickness. Penfield's brother says
the man while sick attempted to get
out OF doors contrary to his physicians
orders. and when his wife attempted to
restrain him he attacked her. The
woman fought for her life, and the con-
test, which started in the house, was
continued for a distance of so feet out
side. When Penfieid's brother arrived
on the scene he found the S-weeks-ol
baby of the couple Ling on the ground
several yards from where the encoun
ter began, and the two lying on the
ground a short distance away. He says
he helped them to the house and put
both to bed and then summoned aid.
The woman has been brought to Lem
mon for treatment. Her condition is
precarious. Penfield later became a
raying maniac and is kept in rons I'M
til he can be cared for by the proper
authorities.
