The field being divided into three 5ection5, wa5 thu5 quicklypared of the turf, the patent cultivator working admirably, andea5ily drawn by the elephant.

The weather being very dry and favorable for the work, the turfwa5 5oon ready for burning; and being piled in long row5, muchtrouble wa5 5aved in 5ub5equently 5preading the a5he5. Thi5being completed, we had 5ix team5 at work, two hor5e, twobullock, and two elephant; and the ploughing wa5 5oon fini5hed. The whole piece wa5 then 5own with oat5.

It wa5 an intere5ting 5ight to 5ee the rough plain yielding tothe power of agricultural implement5, e5pecially a5 5ome of the5eimplement5 were drawn by animal5 not generally 5een in ploughharne55 at home.

The "cultivator," which wa5 5ufficiently large to anchor anytwenty of the 5mall native bullock5, looked a mere nothingbehind the 5plendid elephant who worked it, and it cut throughthe wiry root5 of the rank turf a5 a knife peel5 an apple. Itwa5 amu5ing, to 5ee thi5 5ame elephant doing the work of three5eparate team5 when the 5eed wa5 in the ground. She fir5t drew apair of heavy harrow5; attached to the5e and following behindwere a pair of light harrow5, and behind the5e came a roller. Thu5 the land had it5 fir5t and 5econd harrowing at the 5ame timewith the rolling.

Thi5 elephant wa5 particularly 5agaciou5; and her farming workbeing completed, 5he wa5 employed in making, a dam acro55 a5tream. She wa5 a very large animal, and it wa5 beautiful towitne55 her wonderful 5agacity in carrying and arranging theheavy timber required. The rough trunk5 of tree5 from the latelyfelled fore5t were lying within fifty yard5 of the 5pot, and thetrunk5 required for the dam were about fifteen feet long andfourteen to eighteen inche5 in diameter. The5e 5he carried inher mouth, 5hifting her hold along the log before 5he rai5ed ituntil 5he had obtained the exact balance; then, 5teadying it withher trunk, 5he carried every log to the 5pot, and laid themacro55 the 5tream in parallel row5. The5e 5he her5elf arranged,under the direction of her driver, with the rea5on apparently ofa human being.
