  1. The most harmful weeds in my farm are, Scutch-grass, Crow-foot, Blind-nettle, and Crowfoot. Chicken weed and bog moss, and comfry, are good for a sprained foot. Each of them has to be boiled. There is a cure in the March Mallet for some diseases. The flower called the "Flock of the Chickens" is a cure for Teethaches. The Cammile flower is good for a sore troath. The Lamb's quarters and Prasha and other weeds are also very harmful.
