COCHIN EXERTS GREAT
INFLUENCE In POULTRY
Responsible for Exhibition Sys-
tem-lts Blood i'm Many
Other Newer Breeds.
By EDWIN MEGAREEE.

As breed the Cochin has exerted n
wonderful influence on the development
OF the poultry industry II was re-
sponsible for the original epidemic OF the
poultry fever" which ragged about the
middle of the last century and which
caused so many influential people TO take
UP poultry keeping. II stimulated the in.
terest in improved breeds. and through
this the exhibition system arose. Its
blood has been freely used In the creation
OF many OF the modern kinds OF fowls
which are so popular to-day. And so
though no longer extensively bred by
commercial poultrymen. the grand Old
Cochin has played great part In the
poultry world and deserves much credit
therefor.
Our domestic fowls had their origin IN
southern Asia. and for centuries poultry
growing has been largely practised in
that part of the world. Several distinct
races have there been developed. to be
improved and refined later by the breed
ers OF America and England Such races
are similar In type. As rule they are
large I'm size. are heavily feathcrcd. have
long necks and legs. and are remarkable
for v!gor and hardness. Their eggs are
usually Of good size and have brown
shells. Many Of these characteristics APP
pear in the breeds carrying this blood.
The Cochin was first introduced into
America and England between the years
1870 and 1850. The first importations APP
parently came direct from the port OF
Shanghai. For this reason the breed was
first called the Shanghai. Some Of these
original birds were somewhat yellow or
bun In color and from these the modern
Buff Cochn-shown herewith--has de-
scended.
Though formerly fowl OF much utility
value the present day exhibition type
OF Cochin can scarcely be classed with

appearance and has been bred to won
derful perfection In form and color. In
this respect II Is triumph OF the breed
er's art, but 1t must be confe ssed that
these points have been secured at the
expense OF practical qualities.

Chasm From Burning Tenement.

NEW YORK, July Soto Schasberger,
a policeman. single-handed, this morning
saved a family of six from death by
swinging them across a five-foot chasm
between buildings. Fire had broken out
in the five-story tenement at East 10TH
street.
Mrs. Hannah Nfckoll and her daughter
Sarah, seventeen years, were burned to
death and four other persons were Sc
riously injured.
The police and f1remen treasured a
score of women and children who rushed
to windows in a panic following the first
alarm. The fire was soon extinguished.
The loss is small.
Jacob Finkelstein, one of the injured,
died in the hospital, bringing the death
list UP to three.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. July 3.-Fear of black rust
damage to the spring crop brought about
a fresh advance today in the price OF
wheat Whereas cool weather and sun
shine were needed to avert the pest. dis
patches from the northwest told of com
paratively high temperatures and Of pre-
dicted unsettled conditions. Bullish
cables and a forecast of big shipments
down the lakes from Duluth tended also
to strengthen the market. After opening
a to "a above last night, prices held
considerable of the gain.
Somewhat larger offerings from the
country made corn easy. There were
prospects. too of increased shipments
from Argentina The opening. which was
4 off to u up, was followed by ma
terial decline all around.
Oats weakened with corn. Selling by
commission houses was especially notice

Higher prices for hogs lifted provisions
