How Coming Farm Is Able To Get Great Egg 

 Records 



The salient reasons which make possible such egg 

 records as The Corning Egg Farm is able to show 

 are: 



1st, — Careful selection of breeders by the Corning,; 

 Method, which is the only proper Method and has al- 

 ready been described. 



and, — Pullets raised on free range, feeding to them 

 a strengthening and upbuilding ration, which con- 

 stantly supplies new tissues, and is, therefore, a nu- 

 tritious and not a forcing food. 



3rd, — Housing them in The Corning Laying 

 House, which to-day stands unequaled, where they are 

 practically outdoors yet protected from extremes of 

 heat and cold, for if hens are to lay to their capacity 

 they must be kept always in a perfectly comfortable 

 condition. 



4th, — The succulent, green food, which is so neces- 

 sary to their welfare if they are to lay strongly, and 

 which must be given to them in large quantities. 



Hens on the ordinary free range, in the general run 

 of seasons, after July ist., cannot find succulent 

 green food in sufficient quantities to enable them to 

 keep up even a fair average of eggs. Receipts of eggs 

 at all large market centers, begin to fall off at about 

 this date, and prices correspondingly increase.
