    The most harmful weed growing on my farm is Hemlock because it kills young turkey. Thistles are another harmful weed because they spread rapidly. Thistles and boochlawns are supposed to grow only in good land and rushes grow only in bad land.
    The root of the cradán when boiled is a cure for boils.
    First it is boiled in salt. Then juice of the cradán is put into bottles until it is wanted.
