S applies.
Firewood is classed under the two heads of “ mountain ”
and “ garden,” the former being the drier, better and more expen
sive of the two. Garden wood is mostly chenar, walnut, willow,
ash and fruit trees. The best season for getting in a stock of
wood is from June to September. From March to June, while
the sap is still running, it can only be got, if at all, from Per-
sians who happen to have laid in a stock, as the Persians will
not cut it then. It is usually brought in on donkeys in pieces
5 feet long and requires spliting.
Charcoal .—Charcoal is largely used by the Persians for
cooking and in braziers, and is always obtainable in Shiraz.
(d) Mills.
Except at Bushire the bulk of the mills are of the water
type, using horizontal stones 3 feet in diameter, and turning out
300—400 lb. per hour, or about 4,000 lb. per diem. The out
turn of flour to wheat is from 97—98 per cent., no bran at all
being apparently produced. There are usually mills in all vil
lages with a population qf 800 or over, and the proportion of
mills to inhabitants seems to work out at one per 1,000. Occa
sionally in a place like Bandamir, where the water facilities are
exceptional, the grinding for all the villages within a larger radius
is done in one place.
(e) Storage of Supplies.
Storage is much assisted by the extreme dryness of the
climate, already referred to, so that no particular precautions
have to be taken against weevils, damp, fungi and other con
comitant evils of a damp climate. Rats and mice, however,
are to be found and require the ordinary precautions. The
Persians do not build any special stores, but use the same kind
of out-houses and godowns as are to be found in India, except
that a grain store will often have a small trapdoor in the roof
through which the grain is poured after it becomes impossible
to get any more through the door.
Straw and barley are not, as a rule, stocked in these godowns
but in pits and small rooms scattered about in the villages,
and one of the principal difficulties in supplying troops, is the
collection of fo Ider from these various caches, as it has all to be
weighed before it can bo taken over, and this wastes much
time.
