II.—SUPPLIES AND SERVICES AT MUKTESAR.
(a) Veterinary Section.—The total number of each species of animal
purchased was 1,134 hill bulls, 462 goats, 41 sheep and 11 ponies, as
compared with 1,163 hill bulls, 3 plains bulls, 450 goats, 30 sheep and
18 ponies in the previous year.
Twenty-seven hill bulls, 47 goats, 6 sheep and 2 foals died prior to
experiment, the percentage mortality amongst hill bulls being further
reduced to 2.4, as compared with 3.87 in the previous year.
Two hundred and seventy discontinued hill bulls and 3 buffaloes
were sold either privately or by public auction during the year, resulting
in an income of Rs. 740, as compared with Rs. 787-8-0 from this source
in the previous year.
During the year under review 1,005 commands for pony transport
were complied with, as compared with 559 in the previous year. Of
the above number 197 were for Government purposes and 808 we e
private commands, the latter resulting in an income to Government of
Rs. 1,943-10-0.
The average number of gwallas on the strength of the Section
during the year was 188.3, as compared with 173.1 in the previous
year.
This Section dealt with 163 indents for Rinderpest bull virus and
55 for goat virus received from the field and the Imperial Veterinary
Serum Institute, Izatnagar, during the year.
(b) Estate Section.—By reason of further reclamations of land in the
old Apple Garden and at Latoli, the total area under cultivation was
increased from 250½ acres to 270½ acres.
The total expenditure and receipts of the farms were Rs. 21,359-13-2,
including an amount of Rs. 1,444-10-0 for supervision charges, and
Rs. 20,303-15-6 respectively. This gives a loss of Rs. 1,055-13-8 only,
as compared with one of Rs. 1,264-12-10 in the previous year.
The Ritani Vegetable Garden shows an expenditure of Rs. 1,122-5-11
and receipts amounting to Rs. 2,150-3-3, which gives a profit of
Rs. 1,027-13-4 as compared with a profit of Rs. 1,031-10-10 in the
previous year. The rates at which vegetables were sold to the staff were
still further reduced during the year.
MUKTESAR, FOR THE YEAR ENDING THE 31ST MARCH, 1933.

From the above it will be observed that, taking all the cultivation
work of this Section together, the receipts and expenditure almost
balance themselves, a result which has been obtained more quickly than
was anticipated.
This Section supplied the Institute with 10,747 mds. and 21 seers
of fodder during the year, and in addition 8,773 mds. and 30 seers of
green grass at 12 annas per md., and 11,175 mds. and 34 seers of hay,
most of which was obtained for 13 annas per md., were purchased
through Contractors. Contractors also supplied 8,871 mds. of grain at
a cost of Rs. 24,345-8-9.
The produce of the Reserved Forest consisted of 17,792 mds. and
25 seers of firewood, 2,426 mds. and 10 seers of charcoal, 2,953 mds. of
green fodder, 4,781 mds. and 14 seers of leaves, 925 mds. and 7 seers
of pine needles, 24 bundles of ringals and 1,414 posts. Ninety-eight
mature trees were sold to employees of the Institute during the year,
resulting in an income of Rs. 256-3-0. The prices at which firewood
and charcoal were sold during the year were Re. 0-7-0 and Re. 1-3-6
per md. respectively, as compared with Re. 0-7-6 and Re. 1-4-0 per md.
in the previous year.
In his capacity as Conservator of Forests, the Director dealt with 21
offences under the Forest Act, for the compounding of which a sum of
Rs. 30-4-0 was collected.
Tenders were called for the extraction of 80 mds. of lichen, but
only 16 mds. and 35 seers were extracted. Royalty, amounting to
Rs. 30 at 6 annas per md., was, however, recovered on the full amount.
The pro forma accounts maintained for the Reserved Forest show
an expenditure of Rs 2,879-2-6 and receipts amounting to Rs. 4,316-
11-0, which includes grazing fees of Rs. 1,727. The net profit is
thus Rs. 1,437-8-6, as compared with one of Rs. 1,561-3-2 in the
previous year.
The average number of animals in the Dairy Herd was 42, of which
the number of milch cows was 15.5, as compared with 16.2 in the
previous year. The average daily milk yield per cow rose from 8.15 lb.
to 14.6 lb. during the year. Twelve animals were sold during the year
for Rs. 423, against a book value of Rs. 570, and 5 cows were trans-
ferred permanently to the Veterinary Section for experimental pur-
poses. One cow died during the year as a result of an accident, and 3
bull and 2 hiefer calves died from various causes. No new purchases
were made from outside, but 15 calves were born during the year, as
compared with 23 in the previous year. The financial results of the
Dairy show a profit of Rs. 935-13 3 on the year's working, as compared
with one of Rs. 325-10-4 in the previous year, and the cost of produc-
tion of milk dropped from Re. 0-4-8.65 to Re. 0-2-8.7 per seer.
The average daily attendance of coolies in the Estate Section was
186, of which 100 were employed on cultivation work, as compared
with 160 and 85 respectively in the previous year. Forty-four
Kumaonis were engaged during the year, and the present strength of
this sect in this Section is 49.
