Result of breeding.

The Chairman of the Local Board reports that one bull has served 17 cows
successfully. The other proved a failure for some time, but is said to have
served nine cows lately. The effect on the breed of cattle is accordingly so
far unimportant. The bulls are appreciated so far as the results produced
are successful.
The Vice-chairman of the Dum-Dum Municipality reports that he knows
nothing of the bulls.
These bulls are used for cart work and for covering local cows that are
brought to the College.
Remarks by the Civil Veterinary Department.

They are very much finer animals than the local bulls.

REPORT
ON
SANITATION, DISPENSARIES AND JAILS IN
RAJPUTANA FOR 1920
AND ON
VACCINATION FOR THE YEAR 1920-21.
SECTION I.—SANITATION AND VACCINATION.
METEOROLOGY AND ITS RELATION TO FOOD SUPPLY.
Rainfall in Ajmer.
1. During the year under report 21.98 inches of rain were registered, in
Ajmer against 16 inches in 1919, the
average for the previous six years being
22.46 inches.
2. There was good rainfall in the first half of the monsoon season and the
second half was almost dry.
Rainfall in Indian States.
3. The rainfall recorded in Rajputana was on the whole good in the first
part of the monsoon season. During the
latter part it was deficient, owing to which
the Kharif and the Rabi Crops suffered to a certain extent. Fodder however
was sufficient for requirements.
4. Water supply was not affected by the scanty rainfall.
VITAL STATISTICS, BIRTHS AND DEATHS.
Births in Ajmer-Merwara.
5. According to birth returns 13,927 births were registered in 1920 against
15,063 in the previous year, a decrease of
1,136.
6. Of the total births registered 7,443 were males and 6,484 females. The
birth rate was 27.77 per mille of population as compared with 30.04 per mille
in 1919. The percentage of male to female births was 114.79 as compared
with 113.90 in the previous year.
7. The birth rate exceeded the death rate by 2.06 per mille as compared
with 1.37 per mille in 1919.
Deaths in Ajmer-Merwara.
8. The total number of deaths registered was 12,892 in 1920 against 14,375
in 1919, a decrease of 1,483. This dec-
rease was due chiefly to there being no
outbreak of Influenza and Plague during 1920. The death rate per mille of
population was 25.71 as compared with 28.67 in the previous year.
9. The mortality among children under five years of age was 14 per cent.
of the total deaths against 43 per cent. in the previous year.
10. 9,497 deaths from "Fevers" were reported against 11,054 in 1919, a
decrease of 1,557 due to scanty rainfall.
11. Small-pox appeared in the month of December 1920 and continued
till the close of the year. 325 deaths were reported against 73 in 1919.
