This being completed, we had six teams at work, two horse, two bullock, and two elephant; and the ploughing was soon finished.

The whole piece was then sown with oats.
It was an interesting sight to see the rough plain yielding to the power of agricultural implements, especially as some of these implements were drawn by animals not generally seen in plough harness at home.
The "cultivator," which was sufficiently large to anchor any twenty of the small native bullocks, looked a mere nothing behind the splendid elephant who worked it, and it cut through the wiry roots of the rank turf as a knife peels an apple.

It was amusing, to see this same elephant doing the work of three separate teams when the seed was in the ground.

She first drew a pair of heavy harrows; attached to these and following behind were a pair of light harrows, and behind these came a roller.

Thus the land had its first and second harrowing at the same time with the rolling.
This elephant was particularly sagacious; and her farming work being completed, she was employed in making, a dam across a stream.
