  1. Care of the Feet

    The last person that washes his feet in the water has to throw it out. My people never heard of any pisrogs concerning that water. Some boots and shoes are made in this district by shoemakers but the most of them are bought in the shops. Here are some of the words relating to the trade of shoemaking- ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?.
    The shoemakers of this district have not the trade from their fathers. They learn the trade from other shoemakers. Boots are repaired in this district. Clogs were worn very common long ago and they are still worn by some. Leather is not tanned in this district now- a- days. Pieces of skins of cattle called pam-pooties are not worn as boots and shoes in the neightbourhood.
