~Hissar District.~--Hissar is the south-western district of the division
and has a long common boundary with Bikaner. It is divided into five
_tahsils_, Hissar, Hansi, Bhiwani, Fatehabad, and Sirsa. There are four
natural divisions, Nali, Bagar, Rohi, and Hariana. The overflow of the
Ghagar, which runs through the north of the district, has transformed
the lands on either bank into hard intractable clay, which yields
nothing to the husbandman without copious floods. This is the Nali. The
Bagar is a region of rolling sand stretching along the Bikaner border
from Sirsa to Bhiwani. In Sirsa to the east of the Bagar is a plain of
very light reddish loam known as the Rohi, partly watered by the Sirhind
Canal. South of the Ghagar the loam in the east of the district is
firmer, and well adapted to irrigation, which much of it obtains from
branches of the Western Jamna Canal. This tract is known as Hariana, and
has given its name to a famous breed of cattle. The Government cattle
farm at Hissar covers an area of 65 square miles. North of the Fatehabad
_tahsil_ and surrounded by villages belonging to the Phulkian States is
an island of British territory called Budhlada. It belongs to the Jangal
Des, and has the characteristic drought-resisting sandy loam and sand of
that tract. Much of Budhlada is watered by the Sirhind Canal. Of the
total area of the district only about 9 p.c. is irrigated. The water
level is so far from the surface that well irrigation is usually
impossible, and the source of
