been assigned by the District Board Veterinary Officer, Ajmer, for the
decrease in the number of animals treated this year.
18. Beawar Veterinary Hospital.—Salutri Innayat Ahmed remained
in charge of the dispensary up to the 15th November 1925 when the
Municipal Committee secured the services of a Veterinary Assistant
named Sardar Kabul Singh who held the charge up to the end of the
year. Four hundred and forty-nine patients (52 in-patients and 397
out-patients) were treated at the Hospital during the year as against
351 (62 in-patients and 289 out-patients) treated in the previous year.
Medicines and advice were given to the owners of 221 cases not brought
to the dispensary for treatment. In addition, 2 animals were castrated
during the year.
19. Neither Salutri Innayat Ahmed nor Veterinary Assistant Kabul
Singh have done any touring in the district. The Municipality is, in
the undersigned's opinion, not responsible for suppressing the outbreaks
in the District Board area. The District Board, Ajmer-Merwara, should
either contribute towards the maintenance of the dispensary at Beawar,
as before, or they should pay all the touring expenses of the Veterinary
Assistant Surgeon, Beawar, when attending outbreaks of contagious
diseases.
III. BREEDING OPERATIONS.
20. No breeding operations were carried on in the Province by the
Civil Veterinary Department.
Fairs and Shows.
21. Table XIII Horse Shows.—The Pushkar Horse Show was, as
usual, held in October. Two hundred and six animals competed for
and prizes to the value of Rs. 676 were awarded as against 105 animals
and Rs. 468 awarded in prizes in the previous year.
22. Cattle Shows.—A Cattle Show was held at Pushkar in conjunc-
tion with the Horse Show. One hundred and eighty-two animals com-
peted and a sum of Rs. 199 was awarded in prizes, as against 106 animals
and Rs. 183 awarded in the previous year.
IV. SUBORDINATE ESTABLISHMENT.
23. Table VII.—There was one Veterinary Assistant Surgeon on
1st April 1925. The Salutri at Beawar was replaced by a Veterinary
Assistant Surgeon in November 1925. There were thus two Veterinary
Assistant Surgeons at the close of the year. Their work has been shown
under the head "Veterinary Hospitals."

V. EXPENDITURE OF THE DEPARTMENT.
24. Table XIV-A.—-The expenditure of the Department, during the
year, was Rs. 5,147 as against Rs. 4,201 in the previous year.
VI. GENERAL REMARKS.
25. The working of the Beawar Veterinary Dispensary still continues
to be most unsatisfactory.
For want of funds the dispensary work is much hampered. The Dis-
trict Board should contribute an adequate amount towards the main-
tenance of this dispensary. The Board derives a substantial amount
of income at the Pushkar Fair, in fees; and it is but reasonable that a
small sum out of this should be given to the Beawar dispensary for
the welfare of the animals.

of animals.
