$12,000 PER YEAR 



on their flock of 1953 hens. 



THE ordinary poultryman will say it can't be done — " 

 that $2 to $3 per hen is the very utmost that even 

 an expert can make, clear. He will say that even if a few 

 experienced men could make $6.41 per hen, it is im- 

 possible for two mere beginners to do it. 



And yet that is exactly what the Comings, father and son, DID DO in 1908. 

 Starting five years ago with only 30 hens, with no experience, with Prof. Gowell's bulletins as 

 their foundation, with many experiments and much hard work, this was the result in 1908 — 

 over J I 2,000 profit from 1953 laying pullets. Read the whole story in the 



Corning Egg-Book 



(entitled "$6.41 per Hen per Year"). Not what the Comings might do, or could do, or want to do, but 

 what they DID DO. No impossibilities, no wild promises of fortunes from a few hens in a dry-goods box. 

 Simply a cool, careful, comprehensive account of how scientific egg-raising makes money ($12,000 per 

 year) for two hard-headed business men.

The Coming Eg^g-Book tells everything— where the Com- 

 ings find their market, why they raise only white-shelled, sterile 

 eggs, how they keep hens laying regularly in winter, when they 

 hatch chicks that are to do their best work in December and 

 January, how to mix the feed that produces the most eggs, how 

 to prevent losses, how they found the best breed for egg- 

 producing, and how their whole system works to that one end 

 — 'gg't EGGS, EGGS. Many photographs of the Comings' Sunny 

 Slope Farm, with complete working plans of their buildings, 

 showing brooder and laying houses, colony houses, breeding 

 pens, door and floor construction, etc., etc. Froin these 

 plans any builder can reproduce the plant, in whole or in part. 



(This last winter the Comings had 300(1 hens, and in Janu- 

 ary were getting 75 cents per dozen for eggs. )
