An amusing note on a duck catching scheme using a needle baited with corn. The piece shifts to a portrait of the zanjero in arid valleys, the water allocator who opens and shuts head gates, and the social dynamics of irrigation. It compares Indian and American attitudes toward lunacy, noting cultural fatalism and calm in the face of fate.

A collection of fragmented quotes on mind influenced pendulum behavior, lung hemorrhages and cures, plus advertisements for Perry Davis Painkiller and Dewitt’s witch Hazel Salve.
