III—BREEDING OPERATIONS.
(1) Bovines.
Stud bulls—Table VIII.
32. It will be seen from Table VIII that there were 11 stud bulls
at work at the close of the previous
year. During the year there were
4 additions and 4 casualties, giving a balance of 11 on 31st March 1908.
4 Dhanni bulls, viz. 1 for Hazara and 3 for Bannu, were purchased from
Chakwal, district Jhelum, by the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Depart-
ment. The Political Agent, Tochi, has also asked for one for his Agency, but
it has not been supplied yet.
The number of stud bulls at work is still insufficient, and improvement
in the existing cattle cannot be effected unless one suitable bull a year is
purchased for each tahsil.
Local purchases.
33. In some cases the bulls were purchased locally by certain District
Boards without consulting this Depart-
ment. This practice is objectionable
unless the selection is put into competent hands.
Care of bulls.
34. In Muhammadan districts difficulty is still experienced in main-
taining the bulls, and the district
officials should endeavour to make
suitable arrangement for this purpose. Bulls should only be given to influen-
tial men who promise to look after them well.
(2) Equines (under Local Bodies).
Replacement of stallions.
35. There is only one selected district in the Province, viz. Hazara, in
which the horse-breeding is controlled
by the Army Remount Department.
This year the sanctioned standard scale of the Province, viz. 8 horses,
10 ponies and 13 donkeys, was increased by the addition of 2 donkeys, one each
for the Kurram and Tochi Agencies. A special officer was deputed by the
Government of India to Southern Europe for the purchase of donkey stallions
required for the different Provinces. Out of the 10 donkeys required for this
Province to complete the standard scale, only 9 were supplied. These animals
were landed in India in December 1907. On arrival in Rawalpindi they were
tested with mallein, and then distributed to the following districts and an
Agency:—
Peshawar
Kohat ...
Dera Ismail Khan
Tochi Agency

The remaining one donkey was to replace the Cyprian donkey standing
in Kurram Agency, but on inspection by the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary
Department, this animal was found to be serviceable, and he will probably be
useful for a few more years. Thus no more donkeys are required for the
Province at present.
The Arab "Tourang" standing in the Dera Ismail Khan District is now
past stud work. He will be replaced very shortly, as another Arab stallion is
being purchased by the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department.

Number of horse and pony stallions in non-selected
districts —Table X.
36. There were 8 horse and 10
pony stallions present at the close of the
year in the undermentioned districts
and agencies:—

No stallions were either added or struck off during the year under
report.
The Arab pony supplied for the Tochi Agency, which was standing
at Bannu during the previous year, arrived in Tochi in October 1907, as the
necessary accommodation had been provided for him.
Services of horse and pony stallions—Table XI.
37. Eight horse and ten pony stallions were employed at stud during the
year. The average number of mares
covered was 57.25 and 48.2 respective-
ly against 45.25 and 31.6. The in-
crease this year is due to the stallions being allowed to cover the full comple-
ment of mares.
Cost of feed and keep—Table XII.
38. The average cost of feed and keep, &c. of the horse and pony stal-
lions was Rs. 295-3-0 and Rs. 325-12-5
against Rs. 319-1-4 and Rs. 300-12-11
for the previous year respectively.
Donkey stallions—Table X.
39. There were 10 donkey stallions at the beginning of the year,
of which one was sold from the Kohat
District.
As stated above, the standard scale of the Province was augmented by
2, making a total of 15 donkeys. At present there are 18 donkeys in the
Province: this is due to the District Boards not having disposed of the three old
and rejected animals.
Services of donkey stallions—Table XI.
40. Ten donkey stallions were employed at stud during the year, and
they covered 572 mares against 512
in the previous year. This gives an
average of 57.2 and 51.2 mares per stallion respectively.
The 9 new donkeys being young and having arrived from Europe in
very poor condition were not considered to be fit to cover mares during the
year under report. However, it is expected that they will be fit to begin
work on 1st April. These animals will only be allowed to have half the usual
number of mares for the first season.
Cost of feed and keep—Table XII.
41. The average cost of feed and keep of donkey stallions amounts
to Rs. 164-1-3 against Rs. 175-14-11
of the previous year.
Training of syces.
42. With the exception of Kohat and Bannu districts, which in 1905-06
sent syces to the Hissar Cattle Farm for
instructions, no other district or agency
has since deputed any to the above Farm for training. The syces at certain
stands are quite ignorant of their duties in regard to the covering, &c.,
and the care of stallions.

(3) Others.
Merino rams.
43. During the year under report 21 merino rams were indented for
from Australia through the Inspector-
General, Civil Veterinary Department,
but these could not be supplied before the hot weather. However, it is expected
that they will arrive in India during. October next.
The two merino rams supplied to the Kurram Agency in February 1907
were transferred to the Tochi Agency in January 1908, as their services were
not appreciated by the people of Kurram. As stated by the Political Agent,
Kurram, a sum of Rs. 120 was spent on their up-keep for the year.
Out of the five merino rams supplied to the Hazara District, one died in
March 1908. The cause of death was said to be due to improper feeding. These
animals are liked by the people. During the hot weather these rams were kept
up in Kaghan, but they are brought down to Haripur for the cold season.
(4) Fairs and Shows.
Horse and Cattle Fairs and Shows—Tables XIII and
XIV.
44. During the year under report the combined Bannu and Dera Ismail
Khan Horse and Cattle Show was held
at the latter place in March 1908. The
other two Shows, viz. Peshawar combined
Horse and Cattle Show and the Haripur Cattle Show, were held in March 1908
and October 1907 respectively. Mr. Woodley attended all these Shows in his
capacity as Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, North-West Frontier
Province.
Peshawar Show.
In spite of elaborate preparations, timely notice, and other attractions in
the way of native sports, &c., this Show was very poorly attended. Various
reasons were put forward to account for this. The scarcity of fodder and the
holding of the Rawalpindi Fair on the same dates probably had a good deal to
do with it, but on the whole, I think, the Zamindars lack interest. It is
suggested to hold the next Show early in November instead of March.
Rs. 2,000 were set apart for the above Show (Rs. 1,300 for horse and
Rs. 700 for cattle), of which Rs. 826 and Rs. 646 were actually distributed
respectively. Two silver medals for cattle were also awarded. The silver
medal for the best mare was not awarded.
Bannu and Dera Ismail Khan Horse and Cattle Show.
The Show was held this year at Dera Ismail Khan. The Bannu District
Board have decided to hold their own Show in future apart from Dera Ismail
Khan. Probably Dera Ismail Khan will be able to do the same, but it entirely
depends on a sufficient rain supply.
The cattle at Dera Ismail Khan Show were very poor. More stud bulls
are required in the district, but the Horse Show was encouraging.
Rs. 2,130 were allotted for this Show (Rs. 1,630 for horse and Rs. 500
for cattle), of which Rs. 1,076 and Rs. 476 were actually distributed respec-
tively. Two silver medals, viz. one for horse and one for cattle, were also
awarded.
Haripur Cattle Show.
This Show was quite a success and an improvement on the previous
year's Show. Rs. 560 (Rs. 500 from Provincial Revenues and Rs. 60 from
Local Funds) were set apart for prizes, and the whole amount was distributed.
Two silver medals (one for the best bull and one for the best cow) were also
awarded at the Show.
