II was necessary to find our yards. I piped all

THE CATTLE BUSINESS
is one OF the greatest industries of Nicaragua.
Every year about 10000 head Of cattle are
driven into Costa RIGA alone, the latter country
being but an Indifferent grazing place. Mica
raguans have always been known as the ''peo-
pie of the plains" and the broad area of the
country is well suited for cattle mis-
ing. The government encourages the
importation Of blooded stock for breed
ing purposes, and not only is there
no duty on such importations, but the govern
ment pays the freight for their transportation
from abroad. In this way the native breed of
cattle is being crossed and improved. It is
very recently that there has been any attempt
to improve the stock. The cattle estates are
left by their owners in the hands of overseers,
the former living in town, where more COM
forts are to be had.
The cultivation Of cacao and indigo also
proves very profitable, though the tree bearing
the former needs seven years before it begins
to bring a return, though it then continues pro-
ductive for lifetime.
ENCOURAGING MoNoPoLIKs.
Monopolies in every branch of business need
ing exclusive privileges are encouraged in or
der to introduce new industries. An ice ma
chine now running at Managua has the monop-
oily for that business within certain limits and

knows something of the language or is apt in

The need felt for skilled labor is shown by a
contract the government has just made with
one Dolores Morales, by which the latter is to
bring to this country within one year twelve
French persons who are efficient as tailors. bar

are to be from eighteen to forty years OF age
