EGG FARMING MOST PROFITABLE 45 



feet, as the house is of sectional construction, 20 feet 

 being a section. 



In the back yard of a gentleman living in Bound 

 Brook was kept a small pen of birds, in all eighteen, 

 composed of hens and pullets. These were .a mix- 

 ture of Barred Rocks and Rhode Island Reds. The 

 pullets were of early hatch and should have come into 

 eggs at least in the first week of October. The hens 

 completed the moult much earlier than is generally 

 expected, and still the owner was without eggs. 



Different methods, and nostrums of guaranteed 

 egg producing foods, were tried, but all without sue- | 

 cess. After a call at The Corning Egg Farm, he 1 

 stated that in one week and three days the first eggs 

 were found in the nests, and the continuance of the 

 Corning Method of feeding and working the hens 

 produced eggs steadily through the Winter months, 

 beginning with the middle of December, and the birds / 

 continued to lay more than an average output until 

 they went into the moult the following Fall. 



A gentleman, who has a small place within a mile 

 of The Corning Egg Farm, some four years ago pur- 

 chased hatching eggs from our Breeding Pen, and the 

 following Fall he also bought a small pen of Breeders. 

 He aims to produce and carry through the Winter 

 about one hundred pullets, and for four years now, 

 by adhering strictly to the Corning Method, and with 

 the Corning Strain Single Comb White Leghorns, he 

 has met with a success almost phenomenal.
