- (continued from previous page)chop the Lusmore like cabbage and eat it between two pieces of bread.
- Garlic
Garlic is a herb found in some fields in this district. Long ago the people used to get garlic and chop it very finely. Then they would get an evergreen shrub called rue and cut it up. Then they would mix the garlic and rue together in grease. This mixture was used as prevention for Blackleg, a disease common in young calves. They would catch the calf and make a small hole in his skin behind his front right leg, and inject some of the mixture.
