Northern Husbandry, 19/09/1732, ¶1087:

The LIMINGO grasslands began here and they cover a much bigger area than those at either Övertorne or Rödbäck. The land was very marshy to start with, full of horse-tail and with such an abundance of ‘Arundo’ [Reed] in particular that it resembled a forest. ‘Circutaria aquatica’ [Cowbane] was growing by the road in great quantities. I asked whether there were any deaths among the cattle and they answered: “Yes. Do you know anything that would help?. So-and-so has lost so many etc”.
