RESOLUTION.—During the year under review Mr. Grainger visited various
places in the districts marginally noted and in Sind
to inspect stallions and to brand mares brought to
him by breeders. He also visited Deesa and was
present at the Horse-Shows held during the year at
Poona, Rájkot, Jacobabad, Sibi, Bhuj and Ahmedabad. The following table
shows the results of the working of the Department as regards the branding of
mares:—

It appears from these figures that there was a very considerable falling off in
the number of mares branded during 1888-89 as compared with the number
branded in 1887-88. When contrasted with the number branded in 1886-87
the results of the year under review appear still more unsatisfactory.
Mr. Grainger is of opinion that while in Sind the cause of horse-breeding is
progressing favourably there is no improvement in the Deccan or Gujarát. He
however explains that the decrease in the number of mares branded during
the year under review is to be attributed to causes which are from their nature
temporary. The scarcity of fodder and the general bad season affected mares,
in common with all other stock, so injuriously that with a view to the success
of breeding operations, Mr. Grainger did not deem it advisable to brand many of
the animals brought to him. His explanation on this point may be regarded as
satisfactory.
2. His Excellency in Council has read with interest Mr. Grainger's re¬
marks with reference to the buying up of young stock by " Daláls," and the
result of his investigations should be noticed in the report for the current year.
3
seeing that although they covered 890 mares as against 819 in 1887-88 the
increase in the number of foals produced was only 27 and apparently only about
one in every nine mares covered produced a foal.

7. The financial results of the working of the Department during the year
1888-89 were also more satisfactory than those of the previous year. The
total expenditure of the year amounted to Rs. 67,889-15-9 showing a decrease
of Rs. 10,071-9-7 as compared with that
of 1887-88. The amount debited to
Provincial Funds was Rs. 45,795-11-11,
the corresponding sum last year being
Rs. 49,645-10-0. There is a decrease
under each head of expenditure except
that of donkey stallions' keep. The
sources of the contributions towards Horse-Shows should have been given in
detail in Appendix XIX.
8. The acknowledgments of Government are due to the officers mentioned
in paragraph 64 of the report—Colonel Hogg, Mr. R. Giles and Mr. Adams—
for the assistance they have given in furtherance of the operations of the depart-
ment.
