GIVING OUR AFRICAN ELEPHANT AN OIL BATH 
To keep an elephants skin in a comfortable and satisfactory condition for the owner, requires an occasional application of neat’s- 
foot oil. After thoroughly washing the elephant, the oil is applied with a big sponge. He emerges from this soothing operation 
and proceeds to eliminate every trace of his treatment by throwing dust over his entire body.
