Total Es. 185 12 0

The profit is 14 Rs. 4 as. on an outlay of 185-120 when a master tent-
maker employs other to work under him. It is of course higher where the
khemadozes work in partnership. In this case, wages being added as
profits, the total is 46 Rs. 4 as.

KhOgirhoZ-—saddle-maker. Kho»5r is the ancient packsaddle in use all
over the East. It consists of a square pad called char jama and tw0 takiyas
(pillows) one before and one behind. The stuffing of the char jama and takiyas
is felt (namdah) and the covering is usually the coarse red cotton cloth called
khdrwa. The khogirdoz generally makes felt for his own use. It is made of
goat s hair, cleaned, carded by a behna, steeped in water, finally spread in layers
on some broad surface (stone or wood). As each layer is spread it is damped
with soap-water and an extract of linseed. The layers are pressed together
while damp. They adhere. When the felt dries it becomes light but thick
and springy.

Goats hair is sold 10 seers the rupee and when cleaned 8^ seers remain,
and this gives 9 seers felt. In two days the 10 seers of goats wool will be
turned into 9 seers felt. The expenditure of soap and linseed is 3 as. This
felt is sold at 4 seers the rupee. The use of the eastern packsaddle is dying
out and English saddles are quite supplanting it. The result is that a
Khogirdoz is a poor hand-to-mouth trader. *
