Fig. 108. — The African trait of frequenting country roads for business 

 and for pleasure is not neglected in Haiti. A few of the many hundreds

Fig. 109. — Mills for the grinding of sugar cane have not improved much 

 since the departure of the French from Haiti more than one hundred 

 years ago. The manufacture of rum from the juice of the cane is still 

 the mainstay of the sugar industry. Mills of the type here shown from 

 the vicinity of Leogane are propelled by diminutive Haitian horses.
