style of goods bays narkul reeds by the hundred and lays in stock. Qulfidar
naichas are of two kinds ulti chin and gandeddr. The distinction is in the
pattern according to which the silk is bound round the narkul.
The naicheband is also the person who makes the coiled snake—like tubes
used in smoking, and these are of two kinds, (1) satalc, a short coil used with
the huqqa called bidar farshi and (2) prchwan, the long and heavy coil used
with a large gargari. Both are made in the same way. The workman takes
a long, round, thin slip of wood, winds round it spirally a thick cord or fine
rope and then over this he coils zinc wire. Outside this he binds the bark of a
tree called Bhojpattar and over this again cloth, and he finally secures all with
Bilk, kalabatun, and fine wire. A satak sells for from 8 as. to 5 Rs. and a
pechwan for from Es. 2 to Rs. 10. The cheapest of these, the satak sold for 8 as.,
is made in one day by one man and his profit, which is purely wages of labour,
is 4 as. Each more expensive article requires a proportionately longer time
and greater amount of labour for manufacture.

Nalband, Farrier.—The tools used ''by the farrier are a hammer,
earribur (pincers), nihai (anvil), sumtardsh (hoof-cutter), poz mdl (curved-knife),
and sohan (file). These he carries in a tobra (leather nose bag) slung across
his shoulders. He buys made up shoes from blacksmiths at Re. 1 per 100
pachmel (unassorted) and he supplies these shoes and is paid @ 4 as. to 8 as.
each for shoeing and supplying shoes for small ponies and 12 as. to Re. 1 each
for large animals. In all cases six nails are driven through eaj3h shoe. It is
the right of the farrier by custom to take the old shoes removed from horses
of casual customers but the old shoes are the due of the sais in livery stables.
The farrier buys shoes from the blacksmith pachmel (unassorted) @ Re. 1
per 100, and nails are at 2 as. per 100. He pays the sais half a pie per pony
and one anna per horse 'kaqq dallali.' The nalband has over 2 as. profit
in 4 as. and as much as 14 as. in a rupee ; but this is really wages of his labour
and the custom, which one farrier receives is not so great as to afford a profit jus-
tifying taxation unless he has a contract on a large scale for shoeing Govern-
ment cattle or the like. '
