The United States Governmenf has placed at the disposal of the editor of the Ladies' Homo Jour, nal all the illustrative and statistical statisti-cal information in its private archives arch-ives relating to the Whito House, which will be one hundred- year old next November.

The Denver Field and Farm publishes the following short and j succinct article telling how to i"-- grow sugar beets under irrigation. t. Sagar beet ground must be new ground or if old it should lie fallow fal-low a year and be worked all summer sum-mer to kill he weeds, which will save half the trouble of cultivating cultiva-ting th following year when beets are growing on it. Bc-ets grown - among weeds are worthless for the factory. Beets should be planted in rows three feet apart. When large enough to transplant tbey should be thinned where too thick and put in where too far apart, so (hat they will stand six to eight inches apart in the row. For this part of the work the . factory company provides an overseer over-seer to direct the work who has practised experience, as it is a particular par-ticular job and if done wrong the plants will die. In three days after transplanting, the ground must ba irrigated. Be careful that the water does not reach the slems cf the plants or they will eunburn and die. Tbpn irrigate at least every two weeks. Cultivate Culti-vate after each irrigation, shoving the loose dirt well up under the leaves, eo that the tops of the beets will uot be exposed, for all that stand above ground are worthless ! at the mill. The seeding in New Mexico'should be done the first week of April. The beets are ripe about the middle of September. As soon as the leaves change color during the last four weeks turn on the water and let it trickle slowly throueh the farrows day and night. Plow the laud away from the beets on one side of the row and pull the beets out. All beets that are cut by the plow or broken off should be sen to the mill immediately. The remainder I may be stored in the field. For j this purpose clear off a placf three feet wide on the bottom and pile the beets three or four feet hish in triangular form and cover with smutted straw, or rye straw which is bettfr. Put as raany baits in a! pile only as may be hauled to the mill at one time. Arrange the tops outward. Place a light covering cover-ing of dirt over the straw, leaving only a thin protection at the top so the boets will not heat.
