McKinney has again "ma d^'leod"
in the picnic line.
Don't gossip, it's one of the mean-
est habits on earth.
The picnic was both "a feast of
reason and a flow of soul."
The crowd was immense and the
order was well nigh perfect*.,v

the trying.
Many Collin county farmers have
made the growing of onions a very
profitable business this year. The
black land ia the place to grow on-
ions, and Fannin county has the
black land. Why not make arrange-
ments to plant a few acres for next
season?*—Bonham News.
Collin's example la a good one to
follow.
V *
The black lands of North Texas
are not generally known as "truck
lands," but the sale of 25 cara of
' onions grown near McKinney in Col-
lin county, suggests very strongly
that those black lauds are certainly
strong crops of onions. These 25
cars of 500 bushels each, sold for
about one dollar per bushel, accord-
ing to the McKinney Examiner.
What was the income per acre?—
Farm and Ranch.
Over $100 an acre. In at least
one case the net income was $150
an acre.

A county fair fraternizes all in-
terests, brings the farmer and busi-
ness man closer together, gives an
impetus to line stock raising and a
more thorough knowledge of the va-
rious products grown In our county.
Collin county should have a fair by
all means.—FarmersvUle Sentinel.

Claudius Applue had hie vision of
a road that would perpetuate his
name, and hie dream had been real-
ised; but beyond that he gave what?
—the monument of a tyrant who
compelled thousands to work for
naught, and a lasting example of
how not to build a road. Ttye Ap-
famous la picture and sto-
avolded over a WTfater por-
' its length by fvery traveler
who ia In a hurry to reach his jour-
ney's end.
This old Roman Mtoa of a deep
foundation has lived after him; but
no experienced road builder adopts
It. It has gone the way of the Ro-
man aqueduct, and, like It, has be-
come a monument of unnecessary
work. The old Roman's fancy that
lt Is' necessary to build a deep foun-
dation for a road crops out here
and there, eveu at the present time,
and Is exploited as the best, and, in
fact, the only true way to build a
road. It was not until road builders
learned that thoroughly drained
earth was the only sure foundation
for any kind of road covering that a
great advance was made in road con-
struction.
That road improvement is an ex-
pensive luxury, something nice to
have but too costly for those who
have to work for a living, is the
fancy of some, but it is not borne
out by experience. In New Jersey
every dollar expended for road Im-
provement has added tens and hun-
dreds of dollars to our stale's
wealth.
The first roads I built were sixteen
Inches deep, composed of ten inches
of telford bottom and six Inches of
compacted two and one-half-lnch
and one and one-half-inch crushed
stone, and finished with coarse stone
screenings. That the foundation of
this kind of road lasts is true, but
the top wears off much more quick-
ly, and when that Is gone every
driver avoids the telford road in
good weather.
To build a good stone road, first
grade your hill down to 5 per cent
or less If possible; fill up your flats
so that you have a minimum grade
of at least one-half per cent; second
by underdralns cut off all water that
may threaten the road: third, give
your road a crown of three-quarters
Inch per foot; fourth, cut out your
sub-grade, being careful to give It
the same curvature as the finished
road; fifth, roll the sub-grade until
if Is hard and smooth, carefully re-
moving any spongy or vegetable
earth that the rolling may disclose;
sixth, spread your bottom course
evenly, then roll and add a little
binder and continue the rolling until
the stones cease to sink or creep In
front of the roller; seventh, spread
your second course and roll It, with
the addition of binder and water,
until the whole surface Is hai i and
smooth, carefully filling with stone
any depressions that may appear,
then finish the whole with a course
of three-fourths-iuch stone and
screenings. This must, be soaked
with water and rolled until a wave
of mud is formed in front of the
roller, being particularly careful to
commence the rolling at the sides
and gradually work toward the cen-
ter; by so doing you will preserve
the crown of your road.
If this work Is well and thorough-
ly done, you will have a road that Is
smooth, hard and convenient for
travel at all seasons of the year.—
R. A. Meeker, State Supervisor of
Roads for New Jersey, In Good
Roads Magazine.
