Cuba has the richest iron mines in the world, and the largest sugar mill, capacity 5i33,000 bags of 32'5 lbs. each. Sugar is king here, exportations last year being $121,000,000. Tobacco comes next with exports last season amounting to $35,000,000. There are also many large cattle ranches, as there is plenty of grass the year around, and no other feed is required. Xot much is done in hog raising, although nature produces an abundance of good food, and they are always worth 10 to 14 cents a pound on the hoof. This is a good business as you will see by the importations of lard and hams. Eggs are always worth five cents each in the cities, and. poultry does well if properly handled. There is nothing in raising.
