The Langshan

England, received MS urSt I'M
portation Of Langshans from
China. The following Novem-
Der he exhibited them at the
Crystal Palace, and six years
later the fowl was introduced in
to the United States by the late
Mrs. r.. w. Sargent, of Kittery,
Maine.
Both in this country and in
England, the introduction Of the
breed brought forth a regular
storm of opposition, no doubt on
account of the boom it at once
created. But to-day the Lang
shan is all the better for the war
fare, and fears no rival.
AT the time of the introduce
ton Of the Black Langshan, it
was as much like a Black Cochin
as any two breeds could resem-
Bile each other Since then the
Cochin has been greatly changed.
The Cochin of today has inn
mense feather development,
square build, short legs, and
great cushion almost hiding the
nearly aborted tail. The Lang
shan of to-day is rather tall, with
extremely high tail, long sickles,
andl great activity. There is
now so much difference between
the two that no further trouble
in that direction need be feared.
An English writer some years
ago declared that the first Lang
shans were identical in appear
ance win the Black Shanghias
he used TO keep, averring the
latter possessed not only the
same shape and color of plumage
\ but the lightly feathered shanks,
n pink feet and white skin that are
n the Langshans' badge of purity;
\ while many others expressed
\ themselves substantially to the
same effect.
Stephen Beale, in comparing
x the two breeds says there can

nd a capitable table fowl, not

H most valuable fowl for general
purposes the other is just OPP
posite Of all these. The Cochin
handsomer in appearance, but
hat is all. We are disposed to
hiuk the truth of the whole mat
er that the Black Cochin of
50 orty years ago, if not exactly
IS he same, very nearly so; but the
liter has been spoiled by the
reeding Tor fancy points alone.
One of the best proofs that the
,angshans are pure and dis

self upon cross. A good illus
