Cover illustration shows the entrance and patio of one of the beautiful residences on 

 the Prado, Havana. 



The leading articles are: "A Typical Cuban Farm," on pages 7, 8 and 9, and "Profitable 

 Hog Raising in Cuba," on page 10. The first describes the great richness of the 

 average "finca" or farm in Cuba and the characteristic antique methods in vogue. 

 The enormous profitable possibilities of such places are indicated by an expert. 

 Prof. Mayo's article on "Profitable Hog Raising in Cuba" gives valuable information 

 to intending settlers who, the Doctor says, have neglected this industry. Both 

 articles are illustrated.

 on the Western Railways noted and business railway activities in Matanzas and 

 in eastern Cuba.
