For three days the child sucks one end of a rag the other end of which rests in a saucer of honey, and the mother is fed on rice and clarified butter.

On the fourth day the mother begins to suckle the child.

Until the mother is pregnant a second time, no _choti_ or scalp-lock is allowed to grow on the child's head.

When she becomes pregnant, she is taken with the child before the village god, and a tuft of hair is thereafter left to grow on the crown of its head.
_Kamma._--A large cultivating caste of the Madras Presidency, of which a few representatives were returned from the Chanda District in 1911.

They are derived from the same Dravidian stock as the other great cultivating castes of Madras, and, originally soldiers by profession, have now settled down to agriculture.
