INDUSTRIES OF CUBA.
AGRICULTURAL HISTORY OF THE
ISLAND REVIEWED.
Land Owner, Formerly Cattle Orax
em. Are Mow Bucceaaful Planters
Fruits and Vegetables Arc Fine
Btiuar and Tobacco.
Agriculture, which Is (lie main Indus
try of Cubu, lias been given the most
careful attention In the United btntcs
census report, which hns hut recently
been Issued. There are several chap
ters lu the bulky volume which have
been devoted' to the subject of agricul
ture with interesting aud valuable re
suits. Special schedules were prepared
for tho taking of census statistics trom
the plantations. Even so the greatest
dllllculty was experienced In procuring
accurato statements, since the majority
of the farms had been abaudoued
throughout tho war and were still un
settled. Traveling over miles of rough
country the census enumerators found
everywhere devastation and ruined
homes, still deserted and uncared for.
Tending to complicate matters also was
the fact that many of the plantations
had been divided Into small patches of
ground lu order to avoid the taxes
levied even on the smallest subdivision
of ground at the rate of ?5. The ma
jority of the tenants resulting were
but of temporary residence and were
able to give almost no Information con
cerning the land aud Its productive
ness. The schedules which were after
much work returned therefore are
somewhat defective. Previous to tho
last war there wero In Cuba, 00,000
plantations, farms, orchards nnd eatllo
ranges, which were valued at 220,000,
900 pesos, or about f200.000.000. The
Dtily manufactories were those produc-

ing raw sugar, molasses and rum. t
Cattle-Ualalnir Vormorly Generiti.
In tho early days of tho Island cattle
raising was tho principal Industry, ag
riculture being very generally disre
garded. Tho laud was held In great
open ranges, privately owned but un
fenced aud almost unguarded, llko one
great wild country. Tho chief agricul
tural products of Cuba are now tobacco
and sugar, with some frult-ralslug,
which of late years has depreciated ow
ing to tho almost universal fruit-growing
of California. At present thero Is
scarcely more coffee raised than Is re
quired for horn use, although tho soil
and climate of tho eastern provinces
are particularly adapted to coffeo-rals-Ing,
and It Is believed that the Indus
try will again bo revived. It Is llko
wlso believed that tho growth of fruit
for exportation will receive a now stim
ulus and that Cuba will rival California
In the raising of limes, lemons, oranges,
olives, pineapples ami many other

fruits nnd vegetables. Oraugea will

unrivaled for their delicacy of flavor
and amount of juice. Tho largest of
tho banana,furms tiro lu Porto Principe
and Santiago, from where thoy wero
shipped lu large quantities to the Uni
ted States boforo tho war. Tho grow
ing and preparation of sugar and to
bacco for tho forelgu market are tho
largest aud richest of Cuba's Industries.
Statistics for the years from 1803 to
1800 for the production of sugar are as
follows:
185U 81B.804 1800 223,221
1804 1,054.214 1807 212,031
1803 1,004.204 1808 300,000
Tho report coutlues: "Wo could faavo
ground that year more than 1,100,000
tons of sugar had It uot been for the
war."
United States the Main Market.
Statistics showing tho distribution of
tho crop for tho year 1807 Is a fair es
timate of all preceding years. They
are as follows:

Local consumption, whole year. . . 58,000
Tons of '-I.-40 pounds.
For many years the tobacco trade of
Cuba was a crown monopoly, with a
royal office and warehouse at Uavaua
.and branch houses throughout the
provinces. In these storehoa tat
planter could store their Uhc re
' iz '
cclvbtc "uch prices' as might be estab
lished by the erowu for each crop. 'In
later years the tobacco monopoly was
sold to private companies and was
again resumed by the crown In 1700.
Finally In 1817 by a royal decree tho
trade aud cultivation of tobacco were
declared freo on payment of a tax by
each planter equivalent to one-twentieth
of the product. Since that date
tho taxes have varied, but have usually
been very high.
The average production of tobacco,
In bales, In 1804-0 was In the neighbor
hood of 500,000 bales of llfty kilos, or
02,000,000 pounds of leaf, valued at
$22,000,000. Of this amount nearly 40
per cent was retained for home con
sumption and used lu the manufacture
of cigars ami cigarettes, aud this Is
about the proportion with normal crops.
Since 1895 the crop has been as fol
lows: 181)7 875.000 1800 220.000
1808 88.000 1000 4110.000
The amount of the exports to tho
United States during thoso years Is
thus given:
Pound. Vnlue.
1807 4.410.07:1 $2.a00.0ll7

1800 8.102,074 ll.OlO.aOO
1000 ....." 11,810.151 0,704.381
Except for cigars and cigarettes the
numerous forms In which tobacco. Is
used arc uot manufactured In Cuba.
Tobacco Is raised as an article of com
merce lu but four of the six provinces
of Cuba, Plnar del Hlo, Ilabaua, Santa
Clara aud Santiago do Cuba, although
there Is no question but that It could be
advantageously raised In the other two.
One of the Industries which Is now
practically dead, but which was form
erly tho source of wealth and fame to
tho Island, Is coffee raising. It is one
of the Industries for which a great fu
ture Is promised, since It Is known that
for richness, flavor nnd the productive
capacity of the trees the coffee .of Cuba
ts not surpassed by that of any other
West India Island or by South America.
Illatory of Coffee Production.
In tho years 1843 and 1840 violent
hurricanes visited Cuba and seriously
damaged tho coffco crop. Owing to
these disasters the Increased coffco
trado of tho East Indies and South
America aud the larger and more cer
tain profits of sugar cultivation, tho
coffee Industry of Cuba rapidly de
clined and by, 1830 tho amount export
ed was but 102,000 nrrobas. Tho cof
fee plantations wero converted to other
uses and tho trade lu coffee practically
disappeared. Tho world's estimated
coffee crop of WOO Is 15,283,000 bags of
134Vi pounds each. Of this amount
Cuba Is c edited with 130,000 bags, not
enough fo.' home consumption. A con
sideration of these facts may result In
tho revival of this Important Industry,
which, under freo Institutions, It Is be
lieved will regain It former position
among tho agricultural resources of
Cuba. , ' ' '
The raising of stock, which used to
bo one of tho Important resources of tho
country, Is no longer of any Importance,
excessive taxes having driven the land
owners Into other branches of farm
production Thero are, however, few
better countries for stock-raising than
Cuba and future promises are bright
for those who again undertake It.
A Qurtliit Ijomlon Custom.
It is curious how few jwrsons have
noticed the ancient and quaint custom
which Is observed every evening dur
ing term In tho walks of tho Middle
Temple of sounding the call that warns
members of the Inn that It Is time to
dress for dinner lu tho hall at six. -The
custom la as old as tho Middle Temple
Itself, where It alone exists.
At about Jive-thirty p. m. tho warder
on duty emerges from a side door of
the hall with an old-fashloued cow
horn, richly ornamented with silver,
and, commencing In Fountain court,
blows a sustalued blast on It, which he
repeats In New court, Esser court.
Brick court, Pump court, Elm court
and at tho entrance to Crown Otllce
row. me wnoie operation lasts about
ten minutes, and when It Is over the
warder, who Is a kind of beadle In
plain livery, returns the horn to the
butler's pantry.
Nobody seems to take any notice ot
tho horn blowing except small boy
and ticket porters, who occasionally
chaff tho warder while he Is engaged
In his musical efforts.
Moved by Klectrio Power.
A house In Wellsvllle, Ohio, was rt
cently moved by electric power taken
from a trolley line. The house win
belug moved along the street where
there was an electric car Hue. Two can
were hitched to the bouse by a rope,
and it was quickly pulled to Its new
destination.
