the United States and the prices Of
fered for meat animals have renewed
interest in the possibilities Of cattle
raising where land is still cheap.
In a recent issue OF the government
commerce reports Consul Henry M.
Wolcott answers numerous inquiries Of
Americans by quoting letter from a
man who has been engaged in the Gu
ban cattle raising industry for IA years.
The correspondent believes that con-
ditions for the stock farmer are not
so good now as they were several years
ago, but those familiar with the situa-
ton in the United States may find
them more attractive.
Prior to 1901 good pasture land could
be bought for about So an acre. The
same land today will cost about SIS to
500. Good ranch land is rather scarce
at present, but some can be found in
the provinces of Camaguey and Oriente
at the above prices. Several native
perennial grasses are used for graz
ing, the Guinea and Para species berg

lowed to recuperate a month or two
from time to time in order to prevent
