The increase in the amount drawn from the treasury and the decrease in
the value of the articles received from the manufacturing department are due
mainly to a change in the system of accounts, by which the cost of raw
material used in manufactures is included in the sums drawn from the treasury,
and excluded from the value of the articles manufactured as shown above.
Apart from this, however, the net profits of manufacture show a decline of
Rs. 1,648, which occurred chiefly at Dullunda. The total expenditure decreased
by Rs. 4,410, mainly under rates and taxes and public works.

different asylums, and the cost per head of average strength, for the past two

11. The dairy farm at the Dullunda Asylum is reported to have yielded a
net profit of Rs. 1,092-4-9 against Rs. 1,108-6-1 in 1894, and a similar dairy at
Dacca, besides affording a sufficient supply of milk to the inmates of the
asylum, realized Rs. 550-10-9 from the sale of milk to the public. The calves
were also used for the supply of vaccine lymph to the asylum, the jail, and
the outside population. The proposed dairy at Berhampore was not opened
during the year, while the dairy at Cuttack, which had been working at a loss,
was closed.
12. The number of patients in the European Asylum at Bhowanipur was 54
against 64 in 1894. Of these, 39 were old patients and 15 were admitted
during the year. Three of the latter were criminal lunatics. During the
year ten persons were discharged as cured, compared with four in the previous
year, two were deported to Europe under the Merchant Shipping Act, five
were made over to the care of friends, one was despatched to Europe as a civil
pauper lunatic, and four died, leaving 32 under confinement at the close of the
year. The daily average strength was 37.63 against 40.37 in 1894. There
was no overcrowding in the asylum, the accommodation being just sufficient for
the number of patients under detention. Only eight persons were admitted into
