This bull is reported to be in good health, and still appears to be efficient.
During the year 1897-98 32 cows belonging to the jail were served by the
bull with the result that 14 brought forth healthy calves, 112 are bearing,
and 6 apparently have failed to bear. Only 14 cows belonging to outsiders
were served by the bull, and the result thereof is not known.
The subdivisional officer reports that out of the three, one was sent to Mr,
H. E. Crowdy of Belsandh Factory, other was bought by the Raja
of Parsauni, and the third was kept at the Sitamarhi Veterinary Hospital.
1. Mr. Crowdy reports that the bull is very much appreciated by the
villagers. He has served 42 cows, and there are uplto date ten calves by
him. The calves are very fine.
2. The Raja of Parsunni reports that the bull was kept tied up for several
months, through fear of his straying, and he was out of condition, and
could not cover any cows, but since these last 12 .months he has been let
loose, and has served two cows only. The people like him very much.
3. The bull at the Sitamarhi Veterinary Hospital has served six cows, one
of which has given birth to a she-calf. The number of cows served, by
him is Small, as he was lost for seven months in Nipal. During that period
he is said to have served good many cows, but nothing is known for
certain about this.
The Superintendent of the jail reports that the bull is not totally impotent.
He takes long time in covering cows. Several local cows were covered
during the year under report, and the result of breeding was succeess-
ful. The people like this bull.

The Superintendent of the jail reports that the Hissar bull was of very little
use during the year 1897-98 on account of age.
.... .... ....
The bull is too young to be reported upon this year ... ... ... ...
The Chairman reports that the bull was placed under order of the
District Officer in charge of the Jail Superintendent, Mymensingh, who
reports that the bull proved impotent from the middle part of 1896, and
that it did not serve a single cow in the year under report. The animal
died on the 11th August 1897. It was not considered by the people of
any use.
The bull is reported to have died in January last ... ... ... ... ...
Partial success ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
The Manager reports that the bull has served ten cows, and is not apparently
appreciated by the raiyats.
The Superintendent of the Jessore Jail reports that only two cows belonging
to outsiders and 15 cows of the jail were covered by the bull in the
year 1897-98. The young onces of the jail cows covered by the bull are
somewhat Iarger in size and of different breed. The bull has become
rather old and exhausted, but the people of the place like to have their
cows covered by the bull.
The bull is a success. One of bis sons was sold
through this Department to the North Sankara
estate, Damka, and I have no doubt will do well.
The bulls are a success now. I should be glad to
learn that bulls 2 and 3 had more practice,
as these animals are just as likely to become lazy
Coverers from too little as from too much serving.
I have seen this bull and a son of his by a good cow.
The bull is a fine animal, but as it is reported to be
impotent, it baslbeen sent to Belgachia, where
I hope to render him serviceable.
The bull died last year. Babu Hardhyan Sing, a
Pleader of Buxar, who had charge of the bull,
reports that several castrated calves of the late
Hissar bull are available for sale, butl scarcely any
entire calf for breeding purposes will be available.
As these bulls have only recently arrived, it is not
possible to report on them this year.
A promising young balf-Hissar bull, purchased on
my suggestion from the jail.
I have seen this bull, and he is impotent, and has not
covered a cow for a very long time. Moreover, he
is not well made in front. I think he might now
be made to do cart work.
This was a well made bull, but he was not liked.
I tried to get a purchaser for him, as the Muni-
cipality wanted to sell, but when I had secured
a buyer, it was reported that the bull had died.
This bull died in December 1896, leaving 11 calves.
Of these seven are cow-calves and four bull-calves,
with the exception of three of the latter which take
after their sire, the remainder all take after their
mothers, which are all country cows.
The Board of Revenue having sanctioned the purchase
of a bull for the estate, the Deputy Commissioner
of Hazaribagh proposed purchasing a bull in
consultation with this Department. But before
I made local enquiries as to what sort of bull
was required, the manager had purchased a half-
bred English bull in August 1897.
Too fat.
