    Weeds & herbs 5.5.'38.
    There are a lot of weeds and herbs which grow on the land in the district. Thistles do harm to land. The docken weed is harmful to land also. Its seeds when boiled will cure a cough. Pressiagh? is a weed with a yellow blossom and is grows in cornfields. Pressiagh? spreads very quickly. Cows will not eat the grass where moss grows.
