13. The question of the provision of an isolated ward referred to in
paragraph 38 of the report is receiving the Commissioner's attention.
14. The preparation of a note on the Cattle of Sind has been postponed
owing to Khán Bahádur Haji being on six months' privilege leave. He has
been asked to assign a definite date within which he will complete the work
and adhere to it.
15. The Veterinary dispensaries visited by the Commissioner were doing
good work. The Department has done as well as was possible in the past year,
considering the difficulties alluded to above.

nary Assistants visited 1,571 villages, treated 2,908 animals for contagious and

The total number of patients treated at dispensaries was 18,527 against
17,241 in the previous year. Medicines and advice were given to the owners
of 3,821 animals which were not brought to the dispensaries, making a total

The number of castrations performed at dispensaries was 45 as against
71 in the previous year.

Boards had to be postponed.

Table X, XI & XII.

the previous year.
The cost of feed and upkeep of the stallion was Rs. 665-12-3 against
Rs. 623-2-8 in the previous year. The small increase in expenditure was due
to enhanced prices for grain and fodder.
(2) Bovines.
Table VIII.

Frontier district. They covered 63 cows during
the year.

ment's Farm at Mirpurkhas at the begining of the year. During the year
