here, the results of the chance impOrta-
tons from our ships employed in the
foreign trade! Those interested at
once observed that the birds we had
called Cochin Chinas were of a race
akin to the newer importations. New
England was carefully canvassed, and
every fowl that matched the newcom-
ers in color was at once absorbed with
them as Shanghais.
1t was in 1865 that the Shanghais
appeared as COchins. with neither pre-
fixes nor addenda, and in the exhibit
ton OF 1866 there appeared the Hog
don trio of Bluffs, to sell at auction in
that exhibition for $315-up to that
time an unprecedented price This
was their second rise in the fanciers'
favor. Then they dropped into a sub
ordinate position till a few years ago.

Madison Square Garden, when $500
was paid for pair and 1915 for a sin

Shanghais and Cochins they have sold
for higher prices than fowls Of any
other breeds and as far as breeds of
fowls go they have had a greater in
fuence upon the fowl stocks Of the
land than any others and their infu-
ence upon poultry culture is of all
agencies second in importance.-J. X.
