To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Bareilly, an ordinary plough, which has been appeased with sacrificial offerings of turmeric and rice, and decorated with the ' tika ' in red earth, strikes the first furrow. This is followed in the same furrow by a second, with mould- board attached to widen and deepen the furrow. Behind this conies the sower, wearing silver ornaments, with a necklace of flowers round his neck and a red tika on his forehead. He is usually fed with ghi and sweetmeats before commencing. He is called the hathi... or elephant. He throws the bits of cane into the furrow immediately behind the second plough, at intervals of about a foot. Behind the elephant comes a second man, called the kawa or crow, who picks up the bits that have not fallen into the furrow, and puts them in properly ; and occasionally the gudha or donkey, a third man, accom- panies^ the elephant, carrying a basket of cuttings, which he supplies as needed. Sugar-cane, in the North- Western Provinces, suffers at times from the attacks of caterpillars, one of them, called ' kanswa ' in the Meerut district, attacking the young shoots, and another, the ' silai, ' the full-grown plants.
