1 88 THE CORNING EGG FARM BOOK 



Highest Percentage of Fertility 



Every observer, viewing the stock of The Corning 

 Egg Farm, is at once convinced that the scientific 

 Method here employed produces better birds than 

 any other. The steady increase, from year to year, 

 in the hatchability of the eggs towards full fertility; 

 the strong, livable chicks, their rapid growth to ma- 

 turity; and the voluntary testimony given by our cus- 

 tomers whose ever increasing orders come back to us, 

 year after year, all conclusively establish the fact that 

 hens bred and raised by The Corning Method are un- 

 equaled anywhere. 



For the last two years hatching eggs have been 

 shipped from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the 

 Northern part of Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, and 

 even across the Atlantic to far away Scotland. From 

 this widely extended territory comes the unsolicited 

 testimony that The Corning Strain of Single Comb 

 White Leghorns is unequaled. 



At the present time the amount of labor carried on 

 The Corning Egg Farm is one working foreman and 

 three laborers. The latter are $1.50 a day men, and, 

 with this force all the work of the farm is accom- 

 plished. The Houses are thoroughly cleaned, as to 

 the dropping boards, drinking fountain stands, tops 

 of nests, and the inside of nests where required, every 

 day in the week and three hundred and sixty-five days 

 in the year.
