The Birds of Bangladesh: We see many kinds of birds in Bangladesh Some birds are tamed and brought up in the houses. They are domstic birds. Others are wild birds. Geese, ducks, cocks and hens, pigeons etc are domestic birds. The crow. the dove, the kite (চিল), the hawk (বাজ পাখি), the eagle, the sea-gull, the kingfisher (মাছ) রাঙ্গা), the swallow (বাবুই), the sparrow, the parokeet (টিয়া পাখি), the parrot (তোতা পাখি the owl (পেঁচা), the cuckoo (কোকিল), the gallinule (ডাহুক) etc. are wild birds. In short ve find hundreds of wild birds.
Usefulness or Their Service: The domestic birds give us eggs and rueat. Beside them we prey doves, storks, cranes, wild- ducks, kingsfisher etc. and take their meat. They supply us with nutritions food. The meat of some birds prevents diseases and even cures us from disease. Some birds give us pleasures by thar sweet tune. Again some birds cat some insects, snakes etc and do much good to us. In fine, all the birds give us service.
Abuse: No bird does any harm to us. But the crow, the sparrow and the swallow eat rice. They often tease us.
Conclusion: The birds do us little harm but do us much good. Yet we do not realise how benificial (উপকারী) they are. We kill birds at random. But absence of birds will bring destruction (ধ্বংস), So we should be careful. Beside this, we can earn a lot of money from poultry farm (পাখির খামার), We should encourage more for rearing birds and setting up poultry farms.
Rice (ধান)
Indroduction: Rice is the most largely used (সব চেয়ে বেশী ব্যবহৃত) food grain. Two thirds of the world population live on it. It is also one of the chief agricultural products (কৃষিজ উৎপন্ন দ্রব্য) of the world.
Description: it is amassed from the paddy plants. The plants are a kind of big grass. They become two to four feet high. The plants bear paddy in clusters (গোছা They are ripened in sixty days to 120 days. Ripened paddy is haved in the sun. Next it is boiled in water. Then it is again haved and is ground in the machine, We boild the rice and make our food.
Where grown: Rice is chiefly grown in Bangladesh. India. Burma. Ceylon. China, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia. Egypt, the U. S. A. etc.
Kinds: There are three kinds of rice in our country. They are Aush. Aman and Boro. They are so named according to the season of cultivation. In fact, each of these three classes has many kinds of paddy.
Method of Cultivation: It grows best in moist climate (আর্দ্র জলবায়ু) and low lands. At first the land is ploughed well and seeds are sown. In a few days tender (কচি) shoots (অদ্ভুর) come out. They grow up gradually. Some of them are removed and planted in another plot of land. They attain (লাভ করে) their full size in sixty to one hundred twenty days. In the mean while weeds are removed and manured if necessary. Whater is to be supplied to keep the land wet. They bear green paddy. In some days they are ripened and take golden colour. Then they are cut and brought home. In our country Aush paddy, sown in the months of Chaitra and Baisakh and cut in Ashar. Boro paddies are sown in Falgoon and are cut in Jaishthya. Aman paddies are planted or sown in the months of Bhadra and Aswin and cut in Kartück and Augrahayan.
Usefulness: We live on rice. Two thirds of the people of the world take rice. Varieties (নানা প্রকারের) of sweetmeats and food are prepared from rice. The straws are used as the food of the cow. buffalo etc Boiled rice is also used in making paper and calendering cloths in the textile mills.
Conclusion: Population of the country is ever increasing. (ক্রমবর্ধিষ্ণু So the growth of rice should be increased by scientific method of cultivation.
Jute (পাট)
Or
The Golden Fibre of Bangladesh (বাংলাদেশের স্বর্ণসূত্র)
Introduction: Jute is a kind of fibre (আঁশ). Every Bangladeshi knows it well.
Description: Jute is a periodical crop. It is nothing but a kind of light white fibre. It is taken from jute plants. It is weighed (ওজন করা) in maunds and sold in the market. Thereafter. it is either manufactured in the mills or exported to foreign countries.
Climate and soll: It requires moist climate. It also requires alluvial (পলি ঘটিত) and fertile (উর্বর) soil.
where grown: Bangladesh produces (উৎপাদন করে) eighty percent of total roduction of the world. Beside this West Bengal, Assam and Indonesta also odare jute.
Method of Cultivation: The land is ploughed first in the month of Falgoon. It is harrowd (মই দেওয়া) several times When it rains in Chaitra its seeds are sown. The shoots come out in seven to ten days. Farmers dig the land repeatedly and remove the weeds. The manure the land properly. Jute plants grow up gradually (ক্রমশ), They attain their full size in the month of Bhadra. They grow up seven to fourteen feet. Then they are cut and put under water in bundles, they rot in 20 days. Rotten plants are taken out of water. The barks are taken off. washed in water, dried in the sun, weighed and made ready for sale.
Usefulness: Jute is a very useful thing. Ropes, gunny bags (ছালা) coarse cloth. cheap shawls, brushes and paper etc. are made of jute. The stalks are used as fuel. The tender leaves are used as vegetables. Some quantity of jute is also exported to foreign countries. A huge amount of money comes from foreign export. This is why it is rightly calld the Golden Fibre of Bangladesh.
Abuses: when jute is put under water it pollutes the water. It is harmful.
Conclusion: Many countries discovered substitutes for jute. The demand of raw jute has been decreased (কমে গেছে). So more industries should be set up (স্থাপন করা) in our country
Tea (চা)
Introduction: Tea is the most common drink in the world.
Description: Tea is prepared from the green leavs of tea plants. it is dried (শুকানো হয়) and used as drink. It is mixed with hot water, sugar and milk.
Method of Cultivation: It grows mainly in hilly places. it grows well in moist climate and wet soil. Tea plants are planted in rows. It grows gradually. It has many small branches with leaves. It becomes four to six feet high. Tender leaves are plucked (তোলা হয়) and dried in the sun.
Kinds: There are two kinds of tea. They are-green tea and black tea. Both are equally used for drink.
Where grown: Tea is grown in china. Bangladesh, India, Japan and Ceylon China tea is the best one.
Usefulness: Tea is the most popular drink. It refreshes the mind and gives energy for work. Bangladesh exports tea to foreign countries and earns a great amount of money.
Conclusions: Tea is a cash crop of Bangladesh. It has a great billy area. So more tea should be produced.
Paper (কাগজ)
Introduction: Paper is a light thing. We write on it. It is one of the media of civilization.
History of Invention: The word paper has come from the Egyptian word
Papyrus. So it is thought that paper was first made in Egypt. But it was not like modern paper. In 100 A D. a chinese worker made paper from rags and barks of trees. His name was Isairun. Stanford Communicative English Grammer & Compensation With Model Question.
Description: Now a days paper is made in the mills. Rags, grasses, straws, waste papers, bamboos and pieces of wood etc. are put in the boiler. They are boiled and made pulp (মাস্ত). These pulps are pressed into thin paper. Then the long thin sheet is cut into pieces. There are three such mills in Bangladesh. They are at Chandraghorna, Khulna and Pakshey. News print is made in Khulna.
Usefulness: Paper is very useful to us. We can not do without paper. No record and document (দলীল) could be made without paper Books, newspapers and official correspondences (অফিসের চিঠি পত্র) are written on paper. Without paper spread of education, research (গবেষণা) on sciences and development (উন্নতি) of civilization would not be possible. Paper is used in printing writing and decoration too. In Japan paper is used to build houses.
Conclusion: Bangladesh is self-sufficient (স্বনির্ভর) in paper. We export news print to foreign countries. We have a large stock of raw materials of paper. So more mills should beestablished (প্রতিষ্ঠা করা) in no time.
