A WORD IN CLOSING 195 



Strain for breeding and hatching is a very large and 

 profitable one. The Corning Egg Farm cannot pro- 

 duce enough birds and eggs to fill its orders, and prob- 

 ably never will, because we do not believe in increasing 

 the size of the Farm beyond our ability to be person- 

 ally in constant touch with every detail connected with 

 it. 



Utility, Not Show Birds 



We want to write just a word or two as to the 

 difference between a Strain for the production of eggs 

 and of Show Birds. It must be remembered that a 

 great laying Strain cannot be, at the same time, a 

 Show Bird, at least not under the present require- 

 ments of the Association, because a great egg layer 

 must have size, and must be bred to produce size, and 

 not inbred to secure fancy Show points, which produce 

 a bird without constitution, and eggs from birds of 

 the show class are small, the fertility runs low, and, 

 in many instances, their hatchability is so poor as to 

 be hardly worth speaking of. 



Corning Largest Specialty Farm in World 



The Corning Strain Single Comb White Leghorn is 

 an egg machine, a large bird, of vigorous constitu- 

 tion, and typical Leghorn shape. The Corning Egg 

 Farm is the largest poultry farm in the World de- 

 voted entirely and exclusively to one single purpose
