With the addition of a little salt, this is to them very palatable fare. They are very good cooks, with very simple appliances; with a little mustard oil or clarified butter, a few vegetables or a cut-up fish, they can be very successful. The food, however, is generally smoked from the cow-dung fire.
The last few days I have almost lived on the round walls, for, by some miscalculation, our turf has come to an end, and the fires are kept up with dried cow-dung a common fuel on the island the smoke from which filters through into my room and lies in blue layers above my table and bed. Fortunately the weather is fine, and I can spend my days in the sunshine.
It is not essential that both be of equal size; if the bark of each meet together exactly on one side, it answers the purpose. But the two must not differ much in size. The slope should be an inch and a half, or more, in length. After they are tied together, the place should be covered with a salve or composition of bees-wax and rosin. A mixture of clay and cow-dung will answer the same purpose.
I looked at the floor, freshly treated with cow-dung, and thought again for an answer, but I could think of no very suitable one. 'I'll give you her letter to read, he said, in a burst of confidence. 'That puts it far more plainly than I can. My head's so bad. He looked worried, and I thought I had better leave him. 'No, he said; 'do read to me a bit before you go. 'What shall I read?
As cleanliness however is of great consequence in the culture of these delicate and industrious insects, the bottom or floor of the hive should be covered with gypsum or plaster of Paris, of which they are very fond; and the outside of their habitation should be overspread with a cement made of two-thirds of cow-dung, and one-third of ashes.
Frendeet commences with a swelling of one of the limbs, generally accompanied with intense pain; this is caused by a worm of several feet in length, but no thicker than pack-thread. The Arab cure is to plaster the limb with cow-dung, which is their common application for almost all complaints.
Their presence in the pagoda would have polluted it for ever, whereas the pollution brought by us was only temporary; it would evaporate in the smoke of cow-dung the usual Brahmanical incense of purification like a drop of muddy water in the rays of the sun. India is the country for originalities and everything unexpected and unconventional.
Eleven days after landing on this rock or uninhabited island, Quirini's servant, having extended his search for shellfish, their only food, quite to the farthest point of the island, found a small wooden house, both in and around which he observed some cow-dung.
Both the brothers suffered from sickness; but, undaunted, they pursued their course till they reached Katunga, the capital of Youriba. Houses in this province were formed of badly-built clay walls, thatched roofs, and floors of mud, polished with cow-dung.
He had prepared the place by spreading over it a layer of cow-dung, and levelling it with his bare feet until it was quite smooth and hard. It is in this way that the threshing-floors are usually made. 'You see that type? said the young man who was driving, and who balanced himself on the edge of a board. 'Yes.
