An exceedingly scarce 1800 Havana imprint that publishes a tract from 1797 that delivers instructions and suggests potential improvements for animal husbandry in Cuba. The author, Juan Antonio Morejon, offers advice on the raising of cattle and mules, gives guidance for increasing reproduction, and provides sample budgets outlining the costs for Cuban haciendas of following his guidelines. "Sobre uno y otro punto dir�, no solo aquello conduce al mayor aumento de las haciendas, sino tambien � mejorar sus crianzas, pues la felicidad que buscamos, no debe consistir unicamente en la abundancia, sin el requisito de bondad, � qu� �s tan inclinado nuestro suelo."
