When doos slang coaso to be slang?
This Is not a conundrum, but tho In
quiry of a correspondent wup bocks
to know what length of llfo n word
must have, how long must It bo used
and generally understood, boforo It
passes from being, as It 'were, an un
desirable alien In tho realm of our
words and becomes nuturatlzod. Every
schoolboy knows that "the herring-
pond" means the sea. Most people
would probably term it an American
Ism referring to tho Atlantic ocean
The only dictionary handy duly admits
the hyphenated word, describes It as
slang, and Illustrates It with "to be
sent across the herring-pond: to be
.transported," says tho London Chront
cle. The word was used as long ago
as 1763, when an English ambassador
wrote from Calais to a secretary of
state that he had "traversed the nr
ring-pond after about ten hours' sail."
The burglar wilt always be about
seeking for a chance to rob, and tho

Carelessness and forgetfulnets on the
part of the housekeeper make tho
work of these gentry far easier than
it would otherwise be. The police
generally do the best they can, but
they could do tar better wore not the
burglars offered so many golden op
portunltlcs for tho work they are al
ways so ready to do.

COVER CROPS BENEFIT
Where Irrigation 'Water
r
Is
Abundant Alfalfa Is Grown.
Btlng Deep Rooting Legume, It May
De of Advantage to Orchards
Where Moisture Is Plentiful
Some Objections,
Successful Irrigation Is not condl
tloncd upon clean cultivation; in fact,
it may bo qulto otherwiso. Cover
crops aro sometimes of andvantnge.
Recent practice in somo parts whoro
irrigation water is abundant beyond
tho requirements of tho treo, Is to
grow alfalfa In tho orchard. Ucing a
deep rooting legume, it may bo of ad
vantngo to tho trees In tho presence
of amplo moUturo, whllo with scant
tnolsturo It would rob tho trees nnd
practically ruin thorn. In tho hot Ir
rigated valleys, of Arizona a cover
crop of alfalfa reduces tho soil tem
perature, provents tho reflection ot
heat which occurs from a light-colored
soil surfaco, and lo said to insttro
thrifty young trees whoro clean cul-
turo destroys them. In coolor parto
of tho arid region, as In tho mountain
valleys of northeastern California and
In Idaho, alfalfa Is also grown in
irrigated orchards. Thoso facts aro of
wtdo oignlftcanco an showing that Irri
gation may bo found of benefit even
where clean culture may not bo
thought desirable. It Is certainly rea
sonable that If a -cover crop is grown
nt all' It should bo attended by tho
surety that tho trees shall not suffer
for tnolsturo, and they unquestionably
do sometimes suffer seriously under
old turf, ovon in lands of summer
rains.
This view is wholly npart from tho
subject of exhaustion of soil fertility
jby intercropping. Of course, compon
potion for tho depletion must bo mndo
hy uto of fertilizers, and whether tho
tlntorcrop secured ylolds a profit upon
'such Investment Is a calculation for
cign to this discussion. Tho purpose
pimply is to omphnslze tho fact that
an ricn sou amplo irrigation can pro
Jduco good fruit on an Intercropped
orchard, and It can do tho snmo, on 1
pusturcd orchard, but tho height
and form of n cow-nruncd fruit trco
'in totally abhorrent to prosont Ideals.
A cover crop and Intercrop nro,
however, somowhat different things.
Tho growth of a cultivated crop be
tween tho rows of fruit trocs Is per
missible if tho land In rich, and moln-
ture, clthor by rain full or by Irrlgn
itlon, Is amplo; but oxpcrlonco has
jshown th.at such a crop is only profit
a uiii wuiie ino trees aro very young.
jAr the trees expand thoy repress tho
(growth ot the intercrop below tho
profit mark, and give no further In
ducement to the grower to longer on
danger the future of hla trees by di
viding their sustenanco with the Inter,
crop. On the other hand, a covor
:rop, If It bo a legume, may re-onforco
(tho humus in the soil. One of the
objections to continuous clean culture
fn the arid region Is the tendency of
mo sou to iobo numus and to uccomo
llfoleBs and refractory. Tho growth of
clovers, peas, and other hardy legumoa
during the winter season, whon tho
tnolsturo is usually abundant, Is bolng
widely resortod to for tho purpose of
restoring humus, Tho summer growth
of tender legumes with amplo Irriga
tion is thcroforo, for this reason, ns
fvoll us for lowering tho soli tompera
turo nnd oBcnping other oftccts of ox-
ccsidvo tonipornturo, worthy of con
Blderatyui if water Is amplo enough
to support tho cover crop nnd tho
trees.
Clearly where such practlco is ad
visable tho Irrigation method must bo
suitable. If tho land Is nearly lovol,
ow check lovocs on contour lines will
restrnln sufficient water and not in
ierfero with the use of tho mower.
Such contour checks may tncloso a
considerable numbor ot trees. With
greater slope tho square check sys
tem inclosing n slnglo troo may be
necessary, or flooding down the
Bpaces between tho trees, with a low
levee along each row, may bo the
most available system, except In email
orchards, whoro plpo lines, hydranto,
and sprinkling may bo usod. Farmers

Saving Squash,
The squashes on our vines last year
wore only fairly set on September C,
when signs of frost woro apparent.
Wo covered each ltttlo squush with
lawn clippings and loft tho covering
on for several weeks, says a writer in
an oxchango. Tho leaves dlod, but
tho roots continued to afford nourish
mont to tho squashos, which were of
tho Mnrblehcad nnd Rutmun vnriotlcs.
Dy October 25 they were qulto largo,
whon thoy woro gathered, cnrrlod to
a dry, warm room and laid on tho
ifloor before a sunny window. In two
weeks moro they wore In nlco condi
tion for cooking, fairly dry and of good
flavor.
Mowing Meadows.
By mowing tho meadow Just after
the bloom fulls, tho hay will rotaln
jmoro ot its rich, grass flavor thnn If it
;ls allowed to stand till thoroughly
.ripened. Early cut hay also is cooler
of digestion nnd not so llablo to cause
dlgestlvo derangements among llvo
stock as Is tho late-cut product
Fall Seeded Alfalfa,
If fall seeded alfalfa cannot make
rapid growth in tho spring It Is at a
disadvantage as compared with
(sprlngf flooded alfalfa that can . bo
sown on clean soil on which ono or
two crops of weed seedB havo been
killed before seeding.
NEW OUTFIT FOR IRRIGATION
Water Lifter of Recent Manufacture
Is Excellent for Ue on Ex
tremely High Ground.
Farmers who elthor flooded or ran
water down listed out furrows before
tho crop was planted this last spring
aro tho ones, if they Irrigated at tho
proper periods afterward, who aro
reaping tho potatoes, beets and gar
den truck. Whoro no IrriEatlng was
dono until after tho crop was up tho
crop was much less, and In somo
cases, oven with propor watering, tho
crop has I a failure, simply be
cause of n w jjttom moisture at the
stnrt.
A trial is being mado of many
kinds of pumps, makeshifts, elova-
lors and lifters. Each class has
Its placeIts advocates. Tho ccntifu
gal pumps aro hard to beat on low
lifts, but where the water must bo
raUcd, say 20 feet or over, thoy have
some capablo competitors, writes C.
llollcn in tho Farm, Stoc' and Home.
Ono of theso Is n truo water lifter, of
rathor recent manufacture, which' lifts
tho water to 20 feet or moro with less
power thnn many other styles. Tho
Hftor In use hero Is tho 600-gallon-pcr-minute
typo and requires four horse
power for that capacity.
The machine consists essentially of
CO eight-gallon buckets (galvanized
sheet steel) swung between two cog
chains. Thbse chains turn about two
lnrgo cog wheels suspended loosely'
in tho well (or pit), nt tho top thoi
chnin cog wheels get their powen
through bnek-gcared friction pulleys.!
Thoro nro two shaftings; ono carries
tho chain cog wheol and larger fric
tion wheels, tho other tho bolt pulley
and smaller friction pulleys.
As tho ascending buckets begin
their backward Journoy tho water Is
dumped Into a centrally placed recep
tacle, directly underneath tho shaft
ings. From thlB vessel tho water
flows out around tho ascending buck-,
cts to an outflowing trough. There Is

Tho farmer who bought this lifter
paid something like 3200 for It,' or with'
tho cngino tho outfit would cost him
nbout $426. One good fcaturo of this
machine Is that ho lo running It wiuv
a two-horscpowor engine, though but'
one-third to ono-hnlf tho buckets aro

The operator Is working on tho
problem of pumping from wells, tho
wells being supplied from sand polntB
