48. The cost per head for diet is higher in both Asylums than it was in
1894. This, as before noticed, was due to the high price of provisions.
Compared with 1894, the outlay on clothing and bedding was lower in
Lahore but higher in Delhi. The reason for the apparently lower expenditure
in Lahore has been already explained.

MANUFACTURES AND LUNATICS LABOUR.
49. Lahore.—From Statement XI the profits of the factory appear to
be Rs. 1,314-0-6, a satisfactory increase on the figure of 1894, which was
Rs. 1,027-10-0. An average of 40 lunatics was employed in the Asylum garden, and
the value of the garden produce was Rs. 809-1-10. Of this sum, Rs. 652-12-5
represented the value of vegetables supplied to lunatics, and Rs. 156-5-5 that of the
grass, &c., for the bullocks. Since the beginning of the current year the Asylum
has been selling small quantities of vegetables to the general public, and efforts
will be made to increase the income from this source. The result will be noticed
in the Report for 1896.
50. The Lahore Asylum is such an unsuitable building, that in the way
of manufactures nothing much can be expected; but gardening is still capable of
development. Only 3 lunatics were employed in making new clothing, and
what little was made was of the coarsest description. Ten lunatics found
occupation in mending clothes.
51. Delhi.—The profits amounted to Rs. 793-4-5, compared with
Rs. 862-15-4 in 1894. This was a falling-off of Rs. 69-10-11. On an average about
40 lunatics were employed on skilled labour, i.e., grinding wheat, weaving dasuti,
spinning cotton, making munj matting and gardening. The Asylum supplies
all its own matting and the tobacco required for lunatics ; and, under certain
conditions, is also prepared to supply the Lahore Asylum with these articles.
The matter will be seen to in the current year. Both Superintendents are
endeavouring to develop Asylum manufactures and garden produce.
ESTABLISHMENT.
52. The warder establishment at Lahore did not work well. There were 4
escapes, although all were, fortunately, recaptured; one lunatic died from injuries
