TEA ‘Fresh from the gardeng‘ Theso recalcitrant elephants send forward pilot bulls in advance of the herd when about to raid farms and, if driven back, generally allow a fortâ€" night to elapse and then try again in the hope that the watcher has gone away. In a recent case, however, ditâ€" ferent tactics were followed. After being detected and turned back in an attempt to cross a main road into some extensive shambas (farms), inâ€" stead of waiting two weeks before tryâ€" ing again, the pilot bulls led the herd 3 miles to the west to a point which had evidently been prospected and found unguarded previously, travers ing the road at a point where they bad never before been known to crogs. More than 1000 elephants followed them and it was evident that the whole affair had been carefuly worked out in advance. L It is a common local joke that, thanks to years of education on the part of the Game Wardens‘ Depart ment, every elephant in the colony carries a complete map of i in its head. Some, in fact most of them, are now using this knowledge to avoid prohibited districts, but others use it to invest methods of clreumventing the Game Warden. They understand they are free to roam without molestation over large specified areas, whose boundaries they quite understand, but that they must not cross certain roads to raid the native farms in contiguous reâ€" gions, and that if these regulations are broken they are at once driven back into their own territories. Later, as an experiment in control tactics, a huge herd which, in May, al ways gathers by a certain river, was purposely disturbed and it was noticed how they had learnt to associate the crossing of roads with danger as they formed groups hundreds strong. beâ€" fore rushing over them, As soon as they had reached the ordinary fully reserved areas they ceased their reâ€" treat and took up a massed position for defense. They were prepared to fight if interfered with in what they had now been taught was free terriâ€" tory for them. It is estimated that male elophants in Uganda are increasâ€" ing at the rate of 1000 a year while, with the increase in population and agriculture, the land avâ€"ilable for them is becoming less.

One herd, known as the Buyaga, has been notorious for many years for its sagacity, These elephants prefer to live alongside the natives and secure food from their farms, taking advantâ€" age of the desire of the Game Warâ€" dens‘ Department to drivo them away to less populated areas without harmâ€" Ing them. On one occasion they deâ€" tached three of their worst members to hunt the subâ€"warden observing them, and he had a very exciting time.
