    The following are the most harmful weeds in my farm:- the dock leaf. The Buachallán, the corn kale, the switch grass, the pumphrey, the nettled, the three foil. They are very harmful because they spread rapidly and destroy crops. The dock leaf, the nettled, the corn kale, and other weeds grow in rich land. The juice of the dandelion is supposed to cure consumption. Garlic is a weed and it is supposed to cure diseases in cattle and dogs.
    If
    you boil and eat them three times in the month of May it will keep you from all sickness throughout the yer. People were cured by herbs from diseases long ago.
