 III Milk Supply. 



3. The milk supply was greatly affected as shown above. 



220,572 Ibs. of milk were produced during the year. The 

 Sassoon Hospital contract was continued. No branch dairy was 

 established at Mahdbaleshvar, but all milk was sold in Poona and 

 Kirkee, and no Ghee was made. 



Some cows have been selected to furnish milk suitable 

 for infants. These animals are always those that have freshened 

 within five months. They are never fed with oil-cake, cotton 

 seed, or green food, and are never allowed to graze. The demand 

 for this special milk is increasing. 



IV.-Yield. 



4. The largest yields for the year under report are as 

 follows : 



Among cows, the first in yield for the year, now that 

 Harishi, the cross bred English-Aden has died, is Pitarabari 

 (Sindhi) 4,430 Ibs., second Bulakhi (Sindhi) 3,778 Ibs., third Shendi 

 (Sindhi cross) 3,750 Ibs , fourth Bhavali (Gir) 3,712 Ibs., fifth 

 Yeshi (Sindhi cross) 3,571 Ibs., and sixth Budhi (Gir) 3,552 Ibs.
