( 3 )
difficulty of attracting qualified men remains as before both in this Province
and the Punjab. This may be met to some extent on the return of the
scholarship holders from the Lahore College, but the necessity for raising the
pay of Assistants will undoubtedly assert itself eventually.
11. The Chief Commissioner thoroughly endorses Captain Walker's pro-
nouncement that the year has witnessed commendable progress and that the
administration has been largely improved. He also agrees that the development
of the Department, if it continues at the present rate, will in time demand the
appointment of a separate Superintendent for the Province, but for the present
he is satisfied with the arrangement arrived at in consultation with the Punjab
Government by which the third Superintendent recently appointed holds
charge of six districts of the Punjab in addition to the North-West Frontier
Province.
In conclusion the Chief Commissioner desires to record his appreciation
of the manner in which Captain Walker has improved the working of his
Department during the year and of the real interest which he has exhibited in
all matters relating to both horse and cattle breeding as well as to the treat-
ment of cattle disease throughout the Province.
ORDER.—Ordered, that a copy of the Report and Review be submitted
to the Government of India in the Revenue and Agricultural Department; the
Inspector-General, Civil Veterinary Department; and the Superintendent, Civil
Veterinary Department, Punjab and North-West Frontier Province; and that
copies be circulated for information.
By order of the Hon'ble the Chief Commissioner
and Agent to the Governor-General,
C. B. RAWLINSON, MAJOR,
Offg. Rev. & Finl. Secy. to the Chief Commissioner,

FROM
VETERINARY-CAPTAIN G. K. WALKER, F.R.C.V.S.,
Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department,
Punjab and North-West Frontier Province,
To
THE REVENUE COMMISSIONER,
NORTH-WEST FRONTIER PROVINCE,
PESHAWAR.
Dated Lahore, 28th June 1906.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit the Annual Report of the Civil Veterinary
Department, North-West Frontier Province, for the year 1905-06.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient Servant,
G. K. WALKER, VETY.-CAPTAIN,
Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department,
Punjab and North-West Frontier Province.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT,
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, NORTH-
WEST FRONTIER PROVINCE, 1905-06.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
Officers in charge.
1. I held charge of the Civil Veterinary work in the Province through-
out the year in addition to that of the
Punjab.
The Second Superintendent, Punjab and North-West Frontier Province,
held charge of a portion of the Punjab proper, and had no occasion to deal
with any matters connected with the Frontier Province.
Mr. Oliver was Second Superintendent until February 26th, when he
handed over to Mr. Woodley.
2. I spent 53 days on tour within the confines of the Province, and
travelled 2,945 miles by rail and 546 miles by road in my capacity as Superin-
tendent, North-West Frontier Province. My head-quarters being at Lahore,
a considerable distance by rail had to be travelled on every occasion I visited
the Province.
Work performed on tour.
3. An extended tour was made in connection with the supply of
stallions and the inspection of mares in
the non-selected districts. The work
of the subordinate staff and their dispensaries were also inspected and notes
sent to District Officers. A tour was made in Hazara for the purpose of in-
vestigating the conditions of cattle and sheep breeding in that district with
results that will be noted later.
An outbreak of rinderpest in Peshawar District was visited. The
ponies of the tonga lines were inspected in the course of my tours.
Shows at Peshawar and Dera Ismail Khan were attended.
I.—VETERINARY INSTRUCTION.
Veterinary Colleges and Schools.
4. There are no Veterinary Col-
leges or Schools in the Province.
Scholarships.
5. Each district has endowed a
scholarship at the Punjab Veterinary
College and sent a student.
II.—TREATMENT OF DISEASE.
Outbreaks of contagious disease.
6. Outbreaks of contagious disease were reported from four districts.
For the purpose of classification the
Kurram Valley has this year been in-
cluded in the Kohat District. No outbreak of contagious disease was attended
in the Dera Ismail Khan District during the year.
Mortality—Table II.
7. The total mortality from all causes, as shown in Table II, was 1,145
against 95 last year. As noted by me
in last year's Report, the figures were
probably misleading in that year owing to the system of reporting being im-
perfect. The Revenue Commissioner at my request brought this to the notice
of the revenue officials with a view to an improvement being effected.
( 5 )
Grants-in-aid.
27. Out of the grant of Rs. 35,000 made by the Government of
India for agricultural improvements
in the North-West Frontier Province,
Rs. 10,000 were given for veterinary improvements and allotted as follows:—
Kurram Agency ... ... ... ...
Kohat ... ... ... ...
Bannu ... ... ... ...
Peshawar ... ... ... ...
Hazara ... ... ... ...
Dera Ismail Khan ... ... ... ...
Rs.
1,500
1,000
1,500
3,000
2,000
1,000
At Kohat and Dera Ismail Khan the money was utilized in improve-
ments to the existing hospitals. In Hazara the money was allotted for the
dispensaries at Haripur and Mansehra. The grant to Bannu lapsed owing
to the difficulty in acquiring a suitable site for the hospital. The money allot-
ted to the Kurram Agency could not be utilized, and it was transferred to
Peshawar, where Rs. 4,500 were spent on the dispensaries at Charsadda
and Mardan.
Receipts and Expenditure at Veterinary Hospitals—
Table VI.
28. The receipts and expendi-
ture at Veterinary Hospitals are shown
in Table VI. No charges are made at
any of these institutions.
III.—BREEDING OPERATIONS.
(1) Bovines.
Stud Bulls—Table VIII.
29. It will be seen from Table VIII that there are 6 stud bulls at work
in the districts, which is an insignifi-
cant number compared to the require-
ments. The bull purchased during the year by the Dera Ismail Khan District
was of the Dajil breed from Dera Ghazi Khan District. I have inspected
him and he appears suitable. A few bulls for Hazara District will, it is
hoped, be obtained at the next Choa Saidan Shah Cattle Show in the Jhelum
District. Bulls of the Dhunni and Dajil breeds are generally suitable for the
districts of the North-West Frontier Province.
One suitable bull a year should be purchased, if possible, for each
tahsil, and then possibly some improvement in the existing cattle might be-
effected.
Care of bulls.
30. In Muhammadan districts there is some difficulty experienced in
the supervision of bulls, as if they run
loose they are not looked after. Each
district should be able to make some suitable arrangement with a trustworthy
agriculturist. The method of putting bulls in charge of syces does not com-
mend itself to me.
31. Even if District funds will allow of one bull for each tahsil being
purchased every year, as recommended above, I fear some difficulty may
be experienced in obtaining suitable animals at moderate prices.
Bull Farm probably required.
32. As stated last year, a Bull Farm will probably prove a necessity,
and this matter should be taken up as
soon as a Superintendent is appointed to
the Province, as then he will be able to supervise it.
(2) Equines (under Local Bodies).
Horse and pony stallions in non-selected districts—
Table X.
33. At the beginning of the
year there were 4 horses and 4 pony
stallions present in the non-selected dis-
tricts, vide Table X.
( 6 )
Replacement of stallions.
34. As pointed out last year, this number was quite inadequate to the
needs of the Province. In consultation
with District Officers and after a per-
sonal enquiry I submitted a scheme for Government assistance on the lines
that had been adopted in the Punjab.
A standard scale was fixed, which involved an addition of 8 horses and
4 donkeys. An expenditure of Rs. 16,800 was sanctioned by Government for
their purchase.
All maintenance charges will be borne from District or Political funds,
and the cost of replacement will be shared by Government and districts accord-
ing to an approved scale. The horses, which were all Arabs, were purchased
in Bombay through the Inspector-General, Civil Veterinary Department, and
supplied to the following districts and Agencies:—
Peshawar ...
Kohat ...
Bannu ...
Dera Ismail Khan
Kurram Valley
Tochi Agency

Of these 3 were classed as horses and 5 as ponies. In addition the
Municipality of Peshawar purchased a horse and the District Board a pony.
It was also found possible to buy another pony for Kohat out of the
savings from the Imperial grant. This animal replaced a pony stallion that
had become too old for work.
35. No casualties except the stallion at Kohat, which was sold, occurred
during the year.
36. Thus at the end of the year the number of horse stallions in the
non-selected districts of the Province stood at 8 horses and 10 ponies.
Services of stallions—Table XI.
37. 4 horse and 4 pony stallions were actually employed at stud during
the year. The average number of mares
covered was 67.75 and 53.5 respectively
as against 56 and 67.75 last year.
In consultation with the Inspector-General, Civil Veterinary Depart-
ment, it was decided to make a special limit to the services of the newly arrived
stallions for the first year, and districts were informed accordingly.
Cost of feed and keep—Table XII.
38. The average cost of the feed and keep of horse and pony stallions
was Rs. 325-8-10 and Rs. 226-6-3
against Rs. 266-5-3 and Rs. 226-7-3 the
previous year.
Donkey stallions—Table X.
39. There were 7 donkey stallions at the beginning of the year. Pesha-
war and Bannu districts each purchased
a stallion from the Hissar Cattle Farm,
and there were no casualties.
Shortage of donkey stallions.
40. As stated above, the purchase of 4 donkey stallions was sanctioned
from Government funds. An indent for
this number was sent to the Inspector—
General, Civil Veterinary Department, but none could be supplied.
It is much to be deplored that no donkey stallions could be provided as
they are urgently required. Several of those at present at work are of doubtful
utility, and owners do not bring their mares for service. It is hoped that in the
ensuing year the donkey stallions at work in the Province may be brought up
to strength and renewed where necessary so that mule-breeding may not
suffer.
( 7 )
Services of donkey stallions—Table XI.
41. 9 donkey stallions were employed at the stud during the year, and
they covered 327 mares. The previous
year 7 donkeys covered 390 mares.
Cost of feed and keep—Table XII.
42. The average cost of the feed and keep of donkey stallions amounted
to Rs. 183-9-2 against Rs. 148-4-9
during 1904-05.
Syces trained.
43. Through the kindness of Captain Farmer syces from Bannu and
Kohat were deputed for a month to
Hissar for instruction.
(3) Others.
Sheep-breeding.
44. It had been brought to my notice that some 40 years ago some
Merino sheep had been imported from
the Cape and placed in Kagan, Hazara
District, with the object of improving the quality of the wool. During a tour
in that locality I satisfied myself that the effects of the importation had been
productive of good results. The inhabitants of Kagan had appreciated the value
of the imported breed and expressed their anxiety to get some more animals as
the strain had practically died out.
It has finally been decided to purchase 6 Merino rams for Kagan,
and the Inspector-General, Civil Veterinary Department, is kindly making
arrangements to get them from Australia. It is probable that Australian
sheep will be found to be hardier than Cape sheep. If they prove a success, a
regular importation for some years is indicated.
(4) Fairs and Shows.
Fairs and Shows—Tables XIII and XIV.
45. The combined Bannu and
Dera Ismail Khan Horse Show was
held in March at the latter place.
Rs. 1,000 and one silver medal were allotted from Imperial funds, of
which Rs. 614 were actually awarded.
A combined Horse and Cattle Show was inaugurated at Peshawar, and it
was very encouraging for a beginning. A grant of money in aid was given by
Government from the Agricultural grant, and, in addition, funds were allotted
by the districts of Peshawar and Kohat. I attended both shows and submitted
separate reports on them. A Cattle Show is to be started at Haripur in the
Hazara District next year, and an allotment of Rs. 500 from Government funds
has been made.
A schedule has been drawn up, and it is proposed to hold the show in
October.

The services of the unqualified man
referred to in last year's report were dispensed with.
Veterinary Inspectors.
47. The Veterinary Inspectors were appointed in May. They were
selected from the Punjab list and
seconded for employment in the North-
West Frontier Province.
These men have fully justified their appointment, and their time has
been very fully occupied. They have done good work in initiating and supervis-
ing inoculation work, and the work of the Veterinary Assistants generally has
much improved under their agency.
