REMARKS.
J. K. GRAINGER,
Superintendent, Horse-breeding Operations,
Bombay Presidency.
2
very good reason to expect much improved results in the future. The early
removal, as suggested, of the Government Stallions from Káthiáwár seems in the
circumstances desirable, and should be carried out. A question has been
separately raised and is now under consideration as regards the normal number
of stallions required in this Presidency.
4. The only other point connected with horse-breeding which seems to
call for notice is the extremely poor results as regards castration which con-
tinue to be reported. The work of the salutris, the cost of whom in salaries
and travelling allowances amounted to Rs. 1,525, appears to have consisted in
the year under review of castrating 76 colts, or in other words each castration
cost Government over twenty rupees. However desirable a general extension
of gelding may be, such wasteful expenditure can no longer be permitted, and
Mr. Grainger should be asked to report at once whether the salutris should not
be forthwith discharged. It is assumed that the only work on which they are
employed is that referred to above.
5. In mule-breeding which is almost confined to Sind some improvement
is noticeable but the number of mules foaled in 1887-88 was small in proportion
to the number of donkey stallions employed in the previous year. 819 mares
were covered by donkey stallions in the year under review as compared with
616 in the previous year. The number of such stallions on the register was
reduced from 32 to 23 during the year, a result chiefly of transfers to Bengal.
6. The expenditure incurred in the year under review, excluding payments
from Local Fund and by the Government of India, amounted to Rs. 49,645-10-0
consisting of—
Superintendence and establishment
Keep of stallions ... ... ...
Purchase of stallions ... ... ...
Horse-Shows ... ... ... ...

The total was considerably less than in the previous year and the reduction was
effected, as anticipated in Government Resolution No. 7443 of 2nd November
1887, almost entirely under the head " purchase of stallions." The expenditure
of Rs. 2,443-15-10 reported under this head presumably relates only to local
purchases—one horse, two ponies and one donkey.
