eggs from her during the Winter, but to give her a 

 long rest, and to build her up, and put her in the 

 pink of condition for the coming breeding season, and 

 it is the aim at The Corning Egg Farm to have as 

 few eggs produced as possible from the breeding pens 

 until about the first of January, when an increased 

 amount of animal food is added to the daily ration for 

 the purpose of bringing the hens into eggs, and within 

 a few days there is a very rapid increase in the number 

 of eggs from these pens. 



It must be remembered that the profit in Winter 

 eggs is made from pullets, and to be successful in this 

 line the Laying Houses must be well stocked with 

 them. 



Yearling and two year old hens are the proper 

 breeding females. The Corning Egg Farm Method 

 is one of continuous rotation, as follows : 



Incubator to Brooder House. 



Brooder House to Range. 



Range to Laying House. Those selected as com- 

 ing up to the Corning Standard go to the Breeder 

 House. 



At the end of the second year the Breeders are all 

 sold for foundation stock. 



This gives an opportunity to the public to procure 

 the very best Breeders at a most reasonable price.
