APPENDIX LVIII.
Report on the Stallion "Ruby."
"The Arab stallion ' Ruby' is under my charge since 1892. It is very highly appre-
ciated by the people. Small pony mares, as well as ponies of the size of 13 and over 13
hands, have been Served by the stallion. The produce of small pony mares below 13 is
comparatively excellent, but the foals of the mares of 13 or of over 13 hands turn out excellent
and valuable animals, especially those of well built mares, and consequently people of
Gazipur, Ballea, and of the entire Shahabad district, who think of breeding bring their mares
at a joint cost and trouble to themselves to be served by the stallion. Many of the foals, the
produce of the stallion, were sold in last Berhampore Fairs, which are held in this subdivision,
and though they were the produce of small little mares, still on acoount of their good
structure and breed they fetched high prices. These mares and foals belong to his subdivision
and this has still more stimulated the people to get their mares covered by the stallion.
Similarly, the owners of the big and good mares have got excellent produce, and though they
get high offers for them, still they are not parting with them. This is the best demonstration
of the successful result of the working of the stallion, and this result induced many gentlemen
of Patna, Ghazipur, Bellea and of this district to get their mares covered by the stallion.
In short, the result of the breeding by the stallion is very successful."

In both cases Preventive Officer on board will prevent the landing of the stable fittings
except under the orders of either the Veterinary Officer at the Remount Depot or of the Civil
Veterinary Superintendent, Belgatchia.
7. The above procedure with respect to horses will apply also to cattle.
8. The earliest possible notice shall henceforth be sent by this office to the Superinten-
dent of the Remount Depot, Garden Reach, of the impending arrival of a vessel from
Australia with horses or cattle, with such details as may be known with regard to the date
and hour of the vessel's arrival in port, the name of her agents, the berth or moorings at which
she will tie up, the number of horses or cattle she is bringing out, and the port or ports at
which these were shipped.
9. The arrangement detailed above will take the place of that described in office order
No. 845 of the 1st October 1897.
APPENDIX LXVII.
No. 1463—76—2, dated Simla, the 25th September 1897.
From—F. G. SI.Y, ESQ., C.S. Under-Secretary to the Government of India,
To—The Secretary to the Government of Bengal, Revenue Department.
WITH reference to your letter No. 593T.—R., dated the 19th June last, regarding the
proposed grant of a local allowance of Rs. 100 per mensem to the Superintendent of the
Civil Veterinary Department, Bengal, which is recommended by the Local Government,
I am directed to state that on a comparison of the work at present falling on the Superin-
tendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Bengal, as Principal of the Bengal Veterinary
Institution, with the work of the Principals of the Bombay and Lahore Veterinary Col-
leges, the duties devolving on the former do not appear to the Government of India to be
sufficient to support a recommendation being made in respect of the proposed allowance to
the Secretary of State. There are 96 scholars in the Lahore College, and only 47 in the
Bengal Veterinary School. This difference in numbers implies a corresponding difference in
the scholastio work and responsibility devolving upon the Principals of the two institutions.
Moreover, the status of the Bombay and Lahore Institutions is that of a college. As
regards Rangoon the cost of living there is admittedly much greater than in Calcutta.
2. I am to add that since my letter No. 128—168—2, of the 25th January 1896, was
written, the Government of India have had occasion to examine the general question of the
allowances received by Civil Veterinary Officers holding certain appointments, and have
recently informed the Secretary of State that they do not propose at present any increase
in the number of such allowances.
3. In these circumetances the Government of India regret they are unable to transmit
to the Secretary of State the recommendation made by the Government of Bengal respecting
the Principal of Bengal Veterinary Institution. The matter must lie over until the numbers
attending the Bengal Veterinary School approximate more olosely than at present to the
attendance at the Lahore College.
