    The commonest weeds are Docks, Praiseac, Chicken Weed, Colts foot, Cranes bill, Dandelion, and Cockle. Some of these herbs have cures. The cranes bill is a cure for measles. It is boiled in milk and drank. The Dandelion is a cure for a cough. The cockle is a cure for stomach-trouble, it is boiled in milk and the substance of the weed goes through the milk and both are drank. Praiseac and Chicken weed grow mostly in potato ground. The Praiseac is the most destructive weed.
    Colts foot is so called on account of its shape. The Cranes Bill is a long weed like the cranes long bill.
