    The chief weeds on our farm are garlic, chicken weed, corróg, (dock leaf) dandelions, compthary, thistles, water cresses and sorrel.
    Garlic is the cure for worms. Chuck weed is used for purifying the blood water cresses and sorrel are too good. Dandelion is the cure of lung trouble and jaundice. Comphary roots are the cure for swellings. Corógs cure the sting of a nettle. Thistles grow in good land and tugs and cattle are very fond of them.
