THE CUBA REVIEW 



:%3&»t^a?«!ijgB!^-l* 



A herd of heifers, representing some of the Im'~i l.icctis from the I'nited States, most ly 

 Cuban-born yearlings, at Estacion. 



The present is a poor time to buy ranch land or cattle in Cuba, because both are at 

 exceptionally high prices. 



In order to succeed in the cattle-raising industry here it is necessary for the owner to 

 speak Spanish and to have had a year or two experience in the Imsiness in this country. Hired 

 help can not be depended on to conduct the lousiness without the ])ersonal supervision of the 

 owner.
