BUFF COCHINS. 

 We cannot show the beautiful color which 

 its name indicates, as a clear uniform buff; 

 sometimes light ; n shade, and often deeper, 

 the deep buff being considered the most de- 

 sirable in color. Buff Cochins are nearly as 

 large as Brahmas, but different in shape : are 

 more fluffy, deeper and broader astern than 



the Brahmas. Buffs are practically found to 

 be hardy and good layers during the winter 

 months, and if not too old,- and kept in good 

 condition, will moult and lay early and con- 

 sequently become broody early ; and those 

 who wish to have early chickens can use them 

 for sitting, as they are extremely reliable tor 

 sitters. When full grown, cocks weigh 11 

 pounds and hens 9 pounds. They breed true 

 to feather, hardy, easi'y kept in confinement 

 and are very docile. Of late years they have 

 become quite popular. Setting of thirteen 

 eggs, $2.50 : Hens. $3.00 each : Pullets, $2.00 

 each ; Cocks, $5.00 each ; Cockerells, $3.00 

 each. They are fine breeding stock.

BLACK LANGSHANS. 



The Langshans belong to tbe grand old 

 Asiatic class of fowls. No variety of fowls 

 have risen to distinction and prominence 

 more rapidly than have the Langshans. They 

 have gained the entrance to the front ranks 

 in the poultry fraternity. Langshans were 

 imported to this country twenty years ago — 

 origin claimed to have been in the northern 

 part of China. They are very pro'ific. thrive 

 well in either small enclosures or running at 

 large. The chicks when first hatched are 

 about half white, and quite frequently they 

 will show some white feathers in wings after 

 they are feathered out. but after they moult 

 those chick feathers, black feathers will come 

 in where the white ones were sven. In color 

 the Langshan is a beautiful glossy black
