THE Lam GSHAN FOWL.

The Langshan fowl was discovered a
is said, by an English exploring party un-
der the command of Major Croad of Her
Majesty's army; and it is to his exertions
the credit is given for its first importation
into England from whence America first
obtained the fowl. In general appearance
the Langshan resembles the Black Cochin.
but it has longer tail and larger comb the
plumage is different, that of the Lanpshan
being of beautiful greenish-black color.
With metallic reflection like that on the vino
OF beetle The shape is different. the
breast of the Cochin being rather narrow
and thinly meated, while the breast Of the
Langshan is full. The color of the legs and
feet is different from that of the Cochin. the
latter being tinged with yellow, while the
legs OF the Langshan are blueish-black. In
fact the Langshan and Black Cochin are to-
tally distinct breeds in almost every distin-
gushing feature, and its distinctive merits
may be briefly stated as follows.
1t possesses extreme hardness, and ma
lures rapidly. The great size that the old
birds attain is accompanied with a fnll
breast, yet the bony framework is quite
small, and the flesh possesses a delicacy Of
flavor without the dryness and coarseness
OF texture SO common in most OF the other
large breeds. The hens lack that intense
desire to sit which is so essentially a charac-
teristic of the Cochin.

SETTING RASPBERRIEs IN SUMMER.

For the red or surkering varieties of rasp-
berries says the Country Gentleman, the
practice OF setting in summer is not difficult
II rightly performed. and in some neghbor-
hoods it has been extensively practiced.
Inc green plants after few weeks grow tn,
may be taken up early in summer and TOR
several weeks atterward. They should be
carefully lifted from the soil and the roots
Immediately placed in a vessel containing a
mixture OF water and soil in a liquid stale.
Inc operation succeeds best ii performed
N rainy or moist days. but with care the
removal will succe at any time, keeping
the plants wet and in the shade. The
ground should be in a good mellow condi
ton. Ser deep and press the soil about
them. Under favorable influences they will
make good growth the same season. bear
some fruit the next year, and good crop
the year following. But it should not be
forgotten that taking up the plants right is
all important. They should be removed
from between the hills so that the cross
root, with the tibrous roots from the base
OF the stem, are all secured, cutting them
carefully off without disturbing the other
roots. When the work is done carelessly
and hurriedly, and they are torn out by
pulling, success must not be expected, and
such plants will have no buds on the roots
and few tibres. The tops are tp.be cut back,
leaving only a few inches tor the smaller
plants or eight or ten for the larger ones.

GRAssHOPPERS-A SUGGESTION,

Grassh"pperS have appeared in a few
places in Montana this year in such num-
berS as to do considerable damage. and il is
well that we M0utanans post ourselves as
much a> possible about the pests. A cor
RESPONDENT Of the Pacific Rural Press says:
" This year The hoppers have appeared in
ten counties OF the S ate of California. Now,
the locnsts, as is shown by Spanish records,
first appeared in 1726. and have done con-
siderable damage for years together when
California was under Spanish and Mexican
rule. | saw the great army OF graSshoppers
darken the air in San Francisco in 1855 :;
however, at that rime mining occupied peo-
ple's attention. II California had been cul-
tivated then as now the damages would
have been millions of dollars. | believe the
hoppers and the locusts are one and the
same. and we know how the States of Iowa,
lated lately for years together, even to max
ing the land for time unstable. We for
tunately have the Sierra Nevada to the east
of us, thus barring off eastern locusts. 1t
is easily seen where the locusts lay their
eggs. So, in the State, if we look out in
time by plowing the eggs under, we can
keep the number down to a small proper
ton. Would it not be tor the best for the
government to instruct the supervisors of
all the counties where the hoppers appear
to see that the eggs are plowed under, pay
ing the farmers for the work, if necessary? :?
| saw in some magazine lately that the
Governor of the Isle OF Cyprus went after
the lecusts of that Island, appointing the
proper officials to see the eggs plowed un-
der. Famine has time after time come to
Cyprus from lOcusts, but the energy of the
British Governor, though not entirely kill
ing the locusts, kept down the number to
small proportions. If funds were wanted,
