Cattle Diseases IN Cuba.

How about cattle dlseases7"
Cuba has no special cattle Diseases
replied Captain Rice although we have
such drawbacks as ticks and screw worms.
Ticks are by far the worst; but they can
be gotten of by washing the animals with
a mixture of kerosene, water and salt, or
with other preparations used for the pur-
pose The screw worms are caused by flies
blowing scratches or cuts on the animals,
and they are cured by the use of crude
chloroform with an application of pine tar.
Neither ticks nor screw worms bother fat
cattle or those in good condition. They are
chiefly confined to the poor among the
newly imported cattle. Such cattle must be
treated for them or they will get the Texas
fever and die"
Colonel Donovan, a well-known stock man
of st. Joseph, Mo, in speaking to me OF
the cattle possibilities in Cuba, said:
1T seems to mo that the market for
Cuban stock will be limited to the popula-
ton. Cattle brought from the states and
other countries are now bringing high
prices, but they were very cheap before the
war, and at one time beeves sold for 81 a
head. This Cuban meat is grass fed and It
will not stand curing and shipping like
grain fed meat. The grasses here grow
twelve feet high, and they produce fine

meat is sound enough for general shipping"
Hog Raising without Grain.
find many Americans are looking toward
hog raising as a coming industry of Cuba.
The country is now annually importing
about S,5OO,OO0 worth of pork and bacon and
more than $3,OOOOOO worth of lard. All the
big packing firms of the United States
have branch houses in Cuba; and the
Armours and Swifts have smokehouses
here, where theey cure their own hams.
one sees American hams for sale in nearly
every provision store and our lard is used
everywhere.
The average wholesale price OF live hogs
has for years been from to cents
pound and it is not likely to fall. Hogs do
well all over the island, and that without
grain. They feed on grass. the nuts OF the
oil palms and vegetables. They have regu-
lar trails from palm tree to palm tree. and
go from one to another picking the nuts
they fall. It is estimated that It should
not cost more than from 50 TO 81 each to
produce hogs of from 200 pounds weight and
upward. which hogs sell readily at from
$15 to $25 per head

AMAGUEY, Cuba. Aug. d.-(spe-
cial Correspondence of The Bee)
Let me give you some pictures
IEKk9RI OF Camaguey. The United States
G will hear much of II within the
next few years. 1t is likely to be a great
tourist resort and bakers dozen Of Amer
lean millionaires have stopped here this
season. Camaguey is a halfway station on
Sir William Van Horne's new trunk line
which connects eastern Cuba with Havana.
The new port which has just been
opened on Nipe bay will be the Cuban port
nearest New York. and American travellers
coming that way will be brought there and
shipped across to Havana by steamer d.
rect. The same will be done for those who
land at Havana and wish to return across
the island via Nipe bay to New York. The
result will be that nearly every traveller
will stop here. The Cuba railroad has al
ready anticipated this in building magni-
f1cent hotel, about which 1 may write

good story is told OF the experiences in

liberal. He was stumping Alberta with
Patrick Nolan of Calgary, a conservative.
The rival orators spoke at Ponoka, where
nine out OF ten of the farmers are Amer

hotel and mingled with the farmers TO
overhear comments on their addresses.
