The LANGSHAN FowL.-The Lang
han fowl was o ed a number Of
years since in Northern China, 1t is said
by, an English exploring arty under the
command of Major CrOad of Her Najes-
tvs army; and it is to his exertions tie
credit is given for its first inn ortation
INTO England from whence Anne lea first
nbtalued Il e fow. In general app, ar
ance the Ian, shan resembles the Black
Cochin but IT has a longer tail aud lar, er
comb; the plumage is different, that of
the Langshan bcirg a beautiful green;sh-
black colour with metallic reflection like
that on the wing of a beetle. The shape
i different, the breast of the Cochin be-
ing rather narrow and thinly meated.
while the breast of the Langshan is full.
The color OF the legs are different from
that OF the Cochin, the latter being ting
ed with yellow while the Langshan are
blush black. Ia fact the Langshan and
the Black Cochin are totally different
breeds in almost every distinguishing
feature, and its distinctive merits ma,
be briefly stated as follows:
1t possesses extreme hardness and ma
lures rapidly. The great size that the
old blris attain Is accompanied with a
full breast, yet the bOny~ structure is quite
small, ana the flesh possesses a delicacy of
flavor without the dryness and coarseness
of texture so common In most of the 9TH
err large breeds. The hens lack that in
tense desire to sit which is so essentially
a characteristic of the Cochin.
