ative, Is generally preferred because,
while less starchy, it is more highly
albuminous and therefore possesses
more of the substance which brings
about the inversion of. starch into
sugar-namely, diastase.
The common American brewing bar
leys arrange themselves in the follow
ing system:
/. Six rowed, erect-White Club.
q Four rowed. drooping-Manchuria bar
ley. Oderbrucker, Scotch, Ohio Fall, Bay
Brewing, Blue barley
3. Two rowed, erect - Goldthorpe, Pri-
mus, Fan barley.
4. Two rowed, drooping-Common Chev-
alier, Horsfords Chevalier, Hanna, Prin-
cess.
Six Rowed Barley.-Through several
years experimentation at the Wiscon-
sin agricultural experiment station it
has been found that the six rowed bar
ley is preferable to other varieties and
more profitable for the average farmer
to grow. The~yield far surpasses that
of the other varieties, and the market
demands for the six rowed class far
surpass those of all other varieties COM
bined At conservative estimate 99
per cent of all the barley now grown
h Wisconsin Is six rowed barley. This
being the type Of barley most COM
monty used for mailing in the United
States, it is likely that most of the
samples that will be shown at the bar
ley and hop exhibition in Chicago in
October, 1911, will be of that type.
The experiments with two rowed
barley through eight years. continuous
breeding work clearly prove that in
most regions the farmer cannot get
the returns from this crop that can be
secured with the six rowed variety.
The straw seems to be very frail and
lodges easily, thereby mjuring the
quality Of the grain and reducing the
yield.

OPERATION HERE
YIELD CONFORMS WITH EARLIER
SEASONS PROSPECTS.
Price Is Not Starting Off At
Last Seasons Clip and No
Sale Reports of New Crop.

Harvest operations in this vicinity
started in full blast Monday morning
and we're temporarily interrupted by
slight shower of rain yesterday morn
ing. From synopsis of all reports.
the crop is turning out as we'll as pre-
dicted on the face Of prospects before
the cutting season opened.
The biggest crop ever harvested in
the Pine Creek district is safely in the
sack. Blue stem for the most part ia
raised in that section. aud this year
the yield and quality is splendid. q.
A. Barrett. who farms extensively on
Pine Creek lands and in the Athena
neighborhood. estimates that there
will be a million bushels more wheat
raised this year than last from Helix
south. and east to the foot hills.
The wheat fields in the Vansycle
country are yielding up their quote in
augmentation of the bumper crop.
This has been an ideal season for pro-
ductiou on light soil and the quality Of
grain is superb. Around Athena ban
ner yields are being harvested, few
fields falling under As bushel yield
while frequent reports of 90 bushels
and better, come in.
The price is not starting off so well
as it did last season. The market has
hardly opened and no sales are yet re-
ported. There is very little of last
seasons crop on hand. With the ex-
ception of few lots held for specula-
tive purposes. there is no old wheat in
local warehouses.

EXQUISITE PAIN.
The Fifth and Dental Nerves Are tho
Most Agonizina Thrillors.

The Fifth and Dental Nerves Are tho
Most Agonizina Thrillors.
Which part of the human body is the
most sensitive to pain?"
A sharp definition must be drawn
here between irritation and pain. Irri.
tation Is not pain, but only frequent
cause of it. Thus crumb lodged In
the larynx near the vocal cords pro-
duces violent irritation and prolonged
coughing, which often result In actual
pain. So, too, fly or speck Of dust In
the eye sets up violent irritation and
Inflammation, followed by acute pain.
OF the surface of the body the finger
tips and the end of the tongue are most
sensitive. For instance, burn on the
fingers Is much more painful than one
on the back would be, while one on the
tongue would be more painful still.
Deep wounds are not painful, rs n
rule. save as regards the surface in
jury. OF pains not caused by external
injuries neuralgia of the ffth nerve,
the one which supplies the skin of the
head and face, Is the most intense. 1t
hns frequently driven people mad for
the time being. and sufferers have been
known TO cut and even burn the flesh
In desperate attempts to relieve II. The
rupture of the branches of the dental
nerve in tooth drawing also causes
agony so intense that II has been stated
that no human being could endure 1t

A WIFE MURDERER
GOING Up FOR LIFE
THOUGHT HUSBAND HAD RIGHT
TO KILL.
Yet to Keep Talk Down He Corc ed
the Body.

Antonio TecOlOti arrived i'm the city
yesterday in the course perhaps of
the last earthly journey he will make
He is on his way to the pententiary
To which he has been sentenced FOR
life for the murder of his wife or a
woman who passed for his wife.
Maria Valencia. Tecoloti was in the
custody of Deputy Sheriff Luke Short
of Pima county.
The murder was committed on De-
cember % of last year at the home
Of Tecoloti about three miles from
Tucson. 1t was a particularly heart
less butchery and but for a doubt in
the mind of the jury as To the san
ity Of the defendant his punishment
would have been death. Such a doubt
might well have been entertained.
The first intimation that the Pima
county authorities had Of the crime
was the day following the disappear
ance Of the woman when her brother
called at the office of the sheriff and
said that she had been murdered by
Tecololoti His charge Of murder was
based on the fact that he had not
been able To find his sister Tecoloti
who had come to town was taken
into custody by Sheriff Nelson who
at the time had not a definite opinion
that any crime had been committed.
But after talking with him he be
lieVed that the woman had been muir
dered.
Officers visited the home of Teco-
lott and made an exhaustive search
Of the premises without discovering
any trace Of the body. Though the
ground was gone over carefully it
seemed nowhere to have been recently
disturbed
Returning to town the sheriff told
Tecoloti that the judge had ordered
that he should bury his wifi right
Tecolot said that he would do 50
cheerfully and accompanied by the
officers he want back to his home
He scraped away from the front
ward a lot of trash that seemed to
have accumulated naturally and be

the woman was disclosed more dirt
having been thrown out the body of
the woman was removed. The body
had a mantilla about the neck by
which she had been let down head
first into a hole about four feet deep
and a couple of feet in diameter
While the examination was going
on Tecoloti stood by without chang
ing color or moving a muscle.
Did you kill herr" asked the
sheriff
Sure" replied Tecoloti.
He said he had killed her with
stick but ii was found that the crime
had been committed with riNeting
hammer. A part Of the skull mad

were two other wounds about the
head. q
Tecoloti went into particulars re-
garding the tragedy. He said he had
been sick for some time and one nlSht
when his throat had been very bad
he had asked the woman to cure MN
and she had done so. on the nlsnI
of the killing he had trouble with ms

to get ont OF bed and cure nm she
refused That refusal was warrant
for her execution.
