(6) KANGRA DISTRICT CATTLE-BREEDING SCHEME.

35. In Kangra District where the district authorities
and the Public Health Department have repeatedly pressed
for improvement of the milk supply of towns like Dharamsala,
Sultanpur and Kangra, etc., Montgomery bulls of small
stature were introduced in the year 1929-30 by the location
of 40 bulls, free of cost, at suitable places from the Jahangira-
abad Cattle Farm, in addition to 5 bulls already working in
that district. These bulls have produced good progeny which
are liked by the people. During the year 1930-31, two
bulls, and, during the year under report, ten more bulls were
sent from Jahangirabad Cattle Farm. Five casualties have
so far been reported, thus leaving a balance of 52 at the close
of the year.

(7) IMPROVEMENT OF CATTLE-BREEDING IN LAHORE DISTRICT.

36. One hundred and twenty-eight District Board
Hissar bulls were working at the close of the year in the
selected area of Kahna Nau in Lahore District. This area is
now well equipped with pedigree Hissar bulls, and there is a
remarkable improvement in the local cattle. To supplement
the services of the existing Hissar bulls in the tract 25 private-
ly-owned bulls have been issued in the area.
