Násik (Itinerating).
63. Veterinary Graduate Mr. H. R. Kshirságar.—This appointment was
made on the 1st of July 1894, and the graduate com-
menced work from that date. He toured throughout
the year, with the exception of 15 days, when he was in charge of the Veterinary
Dispensary at Násik. He treated 392 animals, attended 6 outbreaks of rinder-
pest and 4 aptha epizootica. He appears to have received little help from the
village authorities and encountered a certain amount of opposition from the
villagers in the steps he took towards suppressing outbreaks. It is to be hoped
that time and tact will rectify these matters. It would, I think, be advisable
for him to travel slower, thoroughly treat his own cases, and let the people
realise the advantages to be gained by the advice of the skilled men. The
work done is satisfactory.
Dhulia.
64. Veterinary Graduate Mr. Somnay.—Inspected by me on the 19th of
December 1894, and found to be in the same dirty
and insanitary condition as pointed out in para-
graph 129 of my last annual report. In spite of this disadvantage, the institu-
tion is progressing favourably, and a new building is to be erected for the
accommodation of the in-patients this year. The total number of animals treated
during the year is 1,506 against 1,203 last year; of which 199 were in-patients
and the remaining 1,307 were out-patients.
According to the report of the Veterinary Graduate, an outbreak of rinder-
pest occurred during the year and aptha epizootica was raging throughout the
year, whereas only 93 cases of the latter disease were treated by him and no
reports were received from the District officials to the effect that either of these
diseases were present. The abovementioned outbreaks were treated by the
Veterinary Graduate. He visited all the local cattle markets and attended
Government stallions. Only one case of castration is reported :—

65. Veterinary Graduate Mr. Kulkarni.—Inspected by me on the 20th or
December 1894, and found to be in exactly the same
state as that of Dhulia, it being amalgamated with
the Pinjrápol, a most undesirable state of affairs. It is hoped that a more suit-
able site will be selected and a building erected as soon as possible. The total
number of animals treated amounted to 709. The Veterinary Graduate reports
an outbreak of aptha epizootica in the month of March and 58 animals were
treated. No case of castration is reported :—
