Cattle Fairs could be started advantageously in connection with them, and he
was of opinion that an attempt should be made to start them as an experimental
measure.
IV.—SUBORDINATE ESTABLISHMENT
45. At the beginning of the year there were 5 Veterinary Graduates in
charge of the Veterinary dispensaries in the Province. During the year under
report a Veterinary Graduate was appointed to the Jacobabad Veterinary
dispensary. Thus there were 6 Veterinary Graduates employed in the province
during the year 1905-1906.
46. Mr. Haji, in charge of the Richmond Crawford Veterinary Dispensary,
Karachi, deserves very great credit for his work. The dispensary was inspected
once during the year. Mr. Haji, as usual, assisted in the selection of milch
cattle for the Military Farms in the Bombay Presidency, worked as an examiner
at the Agriculture College, Hyderabad, and acted as a judge at the Sind Horse
and Dog Show held at Karachi in October, in addition to his duties at the
dispensary.
47. Mr. Asudu Mall was in charge of the Steele Veterinary Dispensary,
Hyderabad, during the year. This dispensary was inspected twice during the
year and always found well kept. Mr. Asudu Mall does his work well. He
lectured on Veterinary science three times a week at the Agricultural College
at Hyderabad and attended the Horse Show at Talhár and assisted in the classi-
fication of animals, &c. The Salutri of this dispensary was deputed to attend
the outbreak of foot and mouth disease in Thar and Parker district, but he
applied to the Collector for leave of absence.
48. Mr. Ahmed J. Ansari, Itinerating Veterinary Graduate, was in charge
of the Veterinary dispensary at Nausháhro Feroz, district Hyderabad. This
dispensary was visited twice during the year. It is one of the most useful insti-
tutions in the district and the energy displayed by Mr. Ansari with regard to
district work is worthy of all praise. The Salutri attached to this dispensary
attended the outbreak of contagious disease in Thar and Parker and did his
work fairly well.
49. Mr. L. R. Vedh was in charge of the Veterinary Dispensary at Shikár-
pur. The dispensary was inspected twice during the year and always found in
good order. Mr. Vedh is well suited to his post.
50. Mr. N. B. Kapur took over charge of the Larkana dispensary from
Mr. Joshi in January 1906. This dispensary was inspected once during the
year. Mr. Joshi resigned his appointment to go to Singapore as he had
obtained employment there. The Salutri is also a new man.
51. Mr. D. T. Wadhwani was in charge of the Jacobabad Veterinary Dis-
pensary, started during the year. This dispensary was inspected once during the
year. It is a new institution and it is hoped that in the near future it will be
doing good work. Mr. Wadhwani should show a little more energy in work-
ing up the institution. He attended the Horse and Cattle Pair held at Sibi
and assisted in the classification of animals. The Salutri at this dispensary
appears to be an intelligent man and did his best when in charge of the
dispensary during the absence of the Veterinary Graduate when he was sent to
Bareilly for training.
