    "Herbs"
    There are a good many herbs growing on our land. Some of them are very harmful and to the stock they are reared on it. There are a good many different names on the herbs such as ‎Buachalán, Dockets and Butter Cups. Some of the herbs are very good for cut and sores of any kind. Thicken weed and Dandelion and Comfrey are supposed to be very good herbs for cuts and sores. The Comfrey is a very queer sort of an herb. It has big queer soft leaves on it. The flowers that come on it are white in colour.
