There was no friction nor misunderstanding of any kind between the operators
and the owners.
CATTLE PAIRS AND SHOWS.
32. I attended the Sonepore, Barrahpur and Suri fairs, and the Assistant
Superintendent attended the Sitamarhi fair. No one from this Department
could visit the Kalimpong fair, as all my staff was engaged at the time.
The allotment of Rs. 250 for mule-stock at Kalimpong, which, I recommended,
should not be given any more, as it had served its purpose, was discontinued
by the Inspector-General, Civil Veterinary Department.
CATTLE BREEDING.
33. The Inspector-General of the Civil Veterinary Department and the
Inspector-General of Agriculture in India have visited Bengal and made certain
recommendations about cattle breeding, which, no doubt, will be carried out
when the money is available and the necessary orders have been passed.
HORSE AND PONY BREEDING.
34. Hathwa. —The Manager of the Hathwa Raj Estate reports that the
Arab pony stallion did not serve any mares during the year under report, as
no good mares were brought for the purpose (Table V). The cost of feed,
keep, &c., was Rs. 241-8 (Table IX).
MULE BREEDING.
35. The Imperial donkey stallion "Charakh," which was transferred from
Sikkim to Buxar on a year's trial, proved a failure and was therefore returned
to Babugarh. Up to September, the animal served 8 mares with no result
(Table VII). Since October, however, it proved quite useless. Several mares
were brought before him, but ho would not cover any. The cost of feed,
keep, &c., was Rs. 202-1-10 (Table XII).
36. As horse and mule breeding by District Boards in Bengal has ceased
I shall discontinue these headings in future reports.
TOURS.
37. I was on tour for 100 days, and travelled 14,116 miles by rail, 839
miles by road, and 461 miles by steamer.

( 2 )
between the operators and the owners of the cattle immunised. Instruction
in rinderpest inoculation was given during the year at Muktesar to 23 Veterinary
Assistants, who were all passed by the Imperial Bacteriologist as duly qualified.
5. Improvement of Stock.—The Government of India, in commenting on
last year's report, discouraged the introduction of foreign stock and directed
that the efforts of the Department should be specially directed towards the
improvement of indigenous breeds of cattle.
These orders are being borne in
mind, and in the instructions issued to the Judging Committees at the various
local fairs, great stress is laid upon the importance of encouraging local breeding
and the improvement of indigenous stock.
6. The Veterinary College.—Thirty
students prosecuted their studies
throughout the year in the three classes of the College: of these, all but two
were successful at the annual and final examinations. These results reflect
the greatest credit on the Principal and his staff.
7. Belgachia Infirmary.—The total number of cases treated in the infirmary
during the year was 2,385, showing an increase of 427 over the figures of the
previous year; while 623 operations were performed, as against 473 in the
year 1900-1901. It is satisfactory to observe that the reduction of fees, which
was made last year with the object of encouraging the poorer classes to avail
themselves of the benefits of the infirmary, resulted in a large increase in the
number of horses and cattle treated as in-patients. A special grant of Rs. 29,765
was sanctioned during the year by the late Lieutenant-Governor in order to
provide much-needed additional accommodation in the hospital : the new
buildings were under construction at the close of the year.
8. Financial.—The Provincial cost of the Department exceeded that of last
year by nearly Rs. 13,000. The increase was mainly caused by an increase in
the cost of feeding, due to the admission of a larger number of animals at lower
rates. The sum of Rs. 2,500, shown by the Superintendent of the Veterinary
Department in Table XVIII, attached to the Report, as expenditure on prizes
at fairs and shows, is an Imperial charge, and has been erroneously entered
by him in the statement referred to. This amount has, accordingly, been
omitted in calculating the Provincial cost.
9. The Lieutenaut-Governor has much pleasure in acknowledging the
zeal and ability with which Veterinary-Major Raymond continued to
manage the Department during the year.
