PaEFaoRt.

With this issue OF The et&E the full
responsibility OF getting out paper
.hSt viii meet with the approval or
iisspproval Of lis many readers falls
entirely upon Us. We hsye been in
Dolores short time. but up TO the
presen. Mr. Dewitt has carried the re-
sponsibility and done most of the work.
We are made to feel that our task is
great because OF the standard OF excel
iency 10 which Mr.. Dewitt has raised
The Star by years of persistent effort
and hard work, for it will require hard
work on our part TO maintain this
standard; and IS, ss dare not be con-
tent with that, for newspaper, like
all Individual, must either go forward
or backward, rise TO higher plain OF
usefulness or stoop to lower; there is
no such thing as standing still.
We have learned by personal contact
that the people Of Dolores take pride
in their paper and are willing to aid US
in procuring the news, and that the
readers Of The Star are intelligent and
thoughtful. This makes our work
lighter. Intelligent people read paper
and see the good that is in it. Any
body can read paper and see its bad
qualities and find fault, for that re-
quires no thought; but ii does require
brain-power and thought, and some
times great deal of ii, TO see and
appreciate the good.
We can truthfully say that we are
glad that it has been our lot 10 locate
in such pleasant place as Dolores. II
has been described to us as one of the
best towns in one OF the best counties
in one Of the best states in the Union.
This beng the case, in the words OF
Shakspere g ''It's up to u.s." We are
going to do the best we can and if,
when We are weighed in the balance,
we are found wanting, we are not going
to become indignant and swear that the
old machine is out of order, az many
do, but we will plod along hoping that
persistent energy may harden our
muscles and give US the required
weight Respectfully,

WEEDS THAT ARE EDIBLE.

herb and when properly boiled Is ten
der and sueculept In California the
Chinese have begun TO cultivate ii.
The dandelion is now eaten by many
Americans in the spring, but we are
still behind Europeans in our consump-
tion of it. Around Paris the market
gardeners cultivate it on large scale.
While we consider wild chicory or
succory pestilential weed. in Europe
il is raised in the gardens and the
leaves blauched like celery.
The curled-leayed mallow is an annual
plan; originally brought 10 this country
from Europe. where il is raised more
for garnishing dishes than for eating
Our common pokeweed has been
taken TO France, where the gardeners
grow il as pot herb, but in this conn
try it would be pretty hard work to
make anyone eat it.
Purslain is another edible weed that
is abundant in nearly every old garden
or neglected field. In Europe there are
severa. cultivated kinds Of purslain. but
they all originally came from the com
mon purslain OF the fields When
mixed in salads. eaten boiled as spinach.
or picked, the plants make excellent
summer diet.
Our common nettle, milkweed and
hound-leaf mallow are good food plants.
They are edible weeds that thrive in
abundance in all parts Of the country,
and often in places where few other
plants will live. In Scotland. Poland
and Germany the lender leaves Of the
common neitle are gathered As pot
herb for soups or for dishes like spinach.
The peculiar favor of the weed is high
" esteemed by the Germans, and it is
mixed with cabbage, spinach and SIM
liar greens, to give piquant taste.

Whom training a colt to work the
first thing after it can be safely hitched
is to teach it something about pulling.
This is n simple matter yet thousands
of colts receive their first lesson in
baking soon after being first hitched.
In order to teach the animal to pull to
its full ability il is only necessary TO
increase the load so gradually that
neither the driver nor the colt will
know when the pulling really begins
and if never overloaded afterwards it
will never balk. 1t is important to
use caution in hitching the colt for the
first time to different kinds of imple-
ments and vehicles. If to one that
runs somewhat heavily. as the plow or
harrow, it should know something
about pulling first. In working to the
pillow it is not best to use the Jockey
stick at first, for colt will be ant to
rush ahead, jerk its mouth on the
hitch strap, rear up and learn bad
habits in this way. If the check lines
are used the colt can be controlled
without jerking and after being taught
to keep place a jockey stick may be
used with satisfaction and without
danger Field and Farm.
