more senses than one, and their pro-

them a profitable fowl for the farmer

of the oldest varieties of poultry and
have always been held in popular es-
TEEN. The shape of Langshans is dis
tinct from that of the Brahma or CO.
/ chin, and should not be confused with
either of the last-named varieties.
Langshans have white flesh and dark
legs, while the others are yellow SKIM
ed and yellow-legged. The quality IF
the flesh of the Langshan is excellent,
being fine grained, tender and nicely
favored. AS layers they rank among
the best, averaging from twelve to
thirteen dozen a year, and as winter
LAYERS they are to be recommended.
The chicks are hardy and mature early.
Langshans are good sitters and moth
ers. being of gentle disposition; they
are easily kept in confinement or on
free range. Being excellent foragers,
they are ideal fowls for the farm, and
will gather during the year a consid-
cradle proportion of their food. The
Langshan is a stylish, medium-sized
bird, not overgrown or gawky in ap-
pearance, of active nature and lively
disposition. Many confound the Black
Langshan with the Black Cochin. This
need not be, as the following compari-
son between the two varieties shows:
The Black Cochin is square in shape,
with heavy-looking neck and legs, plen-
ty of fluff and leg feathering, cushion
rising from middle of back to tail, tail
short small and almost concealed by
cushion; neck, breast, cushion and tail
all represented by convex lines. Lang

medium sized, well up in front, and

vex cushion. Langshan fluff, moderate
