Breeding and caring for sheep compared with goats was a matter more time consuming. From historical and ethnological sources it is known that the main livestock belonged to the prosperous farms of the oasis. In some ethnic groups in every household there were up to a thousand or more heads of sheep.. In none of the other variants of the dastan, the ethnographic information related to agriculture is given in such detail and consistently [10; b.15]. The same tradition existed among the Tajiks (‘mayda’) and among the Kyrgyz (‘op mayda’). The old men believe that the song ‘Mayday-Mayda’ was devoted to Bobo-Dekhkan, so that he would bestow more strength and diligence on farmers. Studying the economic activity of the population and the importance of craft traditions in the lives of farmers and herders, the author paid particular attention to the magical nature of the patterns and bead jewelery, which, in addition to the aesthetic goal, served as a guardian.
