Read how 

 two men make 

 $12,000 a year 



clear profit, on a small egg-farm 



FOUR years ago the Comings, father and son, both in 

 poor health, and with no practical experience, began egg-raising 

 on a few acres of land at Bound Brook, N. J., with only thirty hens. 

 To-day they have one of the greatest egg-producing plants in this 

 country, and a business that, with 1953 hens, paid last year a clear profit 

 of more than twelve thousand dollars. 



Next year they plan to have 4000 hens. What do you think 

 their profits will be? Get the FARM JOURNAL and find out. 



The CORNING EGG-BOOK 



(entitled "$6.41 per Hen per Year") tells HOW these two men did it. Not theories, but facts; not air-castles, not expectations, but 

 methods, tested and proved by experience. It tells how they found a market eager to get choice eggs at high prices. It tells how they 

 learned to meet that demand with an unfailing supply, in winter as in summer. It tells of their problems and failures, and how they 

 overcame them and won SUCCESS. It gives photographic pictures of their plant, plans of their buildings, etc. 



And it gives beginners just the help they need to make money in this unlimited field. Your chances of success are far better than 

 theirs, for you have their experience to guide you. The knowledge which cost the Comings thousands of dollars and years of ex- 

 periment is at your command for the price of a dozen eggs. 



Here are some of the things that the CORNING EGG-BOOK tells: 



The troubles of great hotels in getting reliable eggs. 

 The prices paid for CORNING eggs throughout the year. 

 The number of eggs sold each month throughout the year. 

 How to get the most eggs when other people get none. 

 When to hatch chicks that are to lay winter eggs. 

 How to grow juicyjbroilers in nine weeks. 

 How to mix the food that makes the most eggs. 



How to prevent the drafts that kill chickens. 

 How to save 97 per cent, of the young chicks. 

 Why and how they make the hens scratch for food. 

 Why they send hens to roost with full crops. 

 How to make hens attend strictly to business. 

 Why they raise only white-shelled eggs. 

 How to have May chicks laying eggs in October.
