    Local Herbs.
    There are some harmful weeds on our farm. The names of them are Chicken weed(s), Dief Nettle, Crow foot, and [?]. Nettles are good for people. If you get a sting of a nettle you get a leaf off a Docan(s) and rub it to where you get the sting. None of these weeds are used for poisoning animals.
