in proportion. This should not be the case, but on the contrary the herds of the land should be increasing in numbers, even with supplying the neighbouring markets with prime beef together with abundance for local consumption. Not only cows, but sheep in great numbers, could be raised in Siam. By Importing improved breeds of sheep and cows into the, country ind by establishing breeding farms, the work of cattle-raining in Siam could be developed to an enormous extent, and made a great source of wealth both to the inhabitants of the country as well as to the Government. The work, of course, will require capital and enterprise to commence with, but there should be found in Siam many rich and enterprising gentlemen who could establish such farms, and assist and encourage the peasantry in the work. The much teglected, but very useful and enduring pony of Siam could also, be improved. As a beast of burden and labour its services will be always required, in all parts of the country; and in proportion as roads are made in the various provinces connecting the different localities the services of the pony will be in greater demand than ever.
