7. Veterinary Major Morgan has submitted separately a scheme for the
improvement and maintenance of the country breeds of cattle. His summary
of the results of the cattle camps in Gujarát and of his experiments with wells
in Ahmednagar will be communicated to the Famine Department.
8. It is satisfactory to note that the work of the Veterinary Graduates has
reached a very generally high standard, and that their usefulness in the
repression of outbreaks of disease is increasing ; but the Collectors and
Committees of the Veterinary dispensaries in Násik and Kaira will be requested
to note the Superintendent's remarks regarding the graduates in those districts.
Government concur in the commendations awarded by the Superintendent, and
especially in those bestowed on Messrs. Hyam and Bhatt for their work in
Ahmedabad.
9. Government would have been glad to have had fuller remarks
regarding cattle disease in the Province of Sind, and the reason why 92 per
cent of the cases reported were vaguely ascribed to " other diseases." It is
very unlikely moreover that the Shikárpur, Upper Sind Frontier and Thar
and Párkar Districts should have remained free from disease, and it is clear
that more attention must be given to this important subject. No mention is
made by the Superintendent of the cattle mortality in Thar and Párkar.
Government are satisfied with the work done by the graduates, especially
Mr. Háji, whose duties have been very heavy. The attention of the Collector
will be drawn to the high fees levied at Hyderabad.
10. It is satisfactory to note that no animals had to be destroyed in
Bombay on account of glanders. Veterinary Major Mills' remarks regarding the
improvement in the method of importation of horses and of the readiness of
importers to adopt his suggestions have been noted with satisfaction. The
attention of the Municipal Commissioner will be invited to Veterinary Major
Mills' remarks regarding the undesirability of gully traps in stables.
11. The Governor in Council desires to acknowledge the excellent work
done by Veterinary Major Morgan in a trying year, and the successful adminis-
tration by him and Veterinary Major Mills of the Departments under their
charge.
