Thus, a brace of greyhounds, or, at the most, a leash, are considered as many as a _dooreah_ should lead out; while of small dogs, it is common to see him surrounded by seven or eight. Each dog has a collar, to which a strong metal ring is sewed very firmly: this serves to fasten a piece of stout cord, the other end of which is looped, so as to pass over the _dooreah’s_ hand, and to sit round his wrist; in general, the whole are led by the left hand, the right exercising the whip. The dress of this servant mostly resembles that of the _mosaulchy_: their pay is also much on a par. The manner of preparing victuals for dogs is simple: the _dooreah_, being provided with a large earthen pot, proportioned to the quantity of provision to be boiled, puts in the meat, cut very small, the rice, some turmeric reduced to a pulp, some _ghee_, or granulated butter, some salt, and abundance of water. The pot is placed on a _choolah_, or stove, and its contents are stirred until they are sufficiently boiled, when they are taken out; the water being first drained off into a vessel, and the more solid contents spread upon a mat to cool. Each dog is led out to separate picket, always in the ground for that purpose, and there tied; so that he cannot quarrel with his neighbours. A parcel of old earthen vessels, every where abounding, are collected for the purpose of receiving each dog’s mess: the meat and rice are first allotted among them, according to bulk, and the gravy afterwards added. Each then receives his portion; though not without exhibiting, both by vociferation and greediness, how eager he is to obtain his meal. In this manner, dogs are usually fed night and morning. The business of a _Kalashy_ is, properly speaking, confined either to what relates to camp-equipage, or to the management of the sails, and rigging, on board a _budjrow_. In the former instance, he is expected to understand how to set up tents of every description; to pack, and unpack; to load and unload: to make tent-pins; to sew the _taut_ (or canvas bags,) in which each part of a tent is generally enclosed, when on the elephant, camel, bullock, or cart, by which it is conveyed; to handle a _phourah_, or mattock, to level the interior; and, in short, to compleat the whole preparation, within and without. Many _kalashies_ are extremely expert in all the foregoing duties, and are, besides, excellent domestics; not hesitating to perform a variety of services about a house, such as swinging the _punkah_, (or great fan,) suspended in most dining halls, rattaning the bottoms of chairs, helping to arrange, and to clear, furniture, and doing, besides, the duties of _hirkarahs_, or _peons_. This general assemblage of useful talents, no doubt, renders the _kalashy_ a most useful servant; hence, more are retained at this time, than were formerly employed.
