Are All Recognized Poultry Systems BACK NUMBERS ? 
Read how two city men, with only four years 
experience, cleared last year $6.41 per hen, or 
OVER $12,000 PROFIT 
On 1953 Laying Pullets 
T HE ordinary poultryman will say it can’t be done—that $2 to $3 per™ 
hen is the very utmost that even an expert can make, clear. He will 
say that even if a few experienced men could make $6.41 per hen, it is 
impossible for two mere beginners to do it. 
And yet that is exactly what the Comings DID DO LAST YEAR. Starting four years ago with only 30 
hens, with no experience, with that wonderful poultry man, Prof. Gowell’s bulletins as their foundation, with 
many experiments and much hard work, this was the result last year—over $12,000 clear profit. Read the 
whole story in the 
Corn.in.gJ FgJgJ-Book 
(entitled “$6.41 Per Hen Per Year”). Not what the Comings might do, or could do, or want to do, but 
what they DID DO. Facts, figures, names, dates, photographs of their plant, plans of their houses, all 
proving the remarkable claims.

Where the $6.41 profit is made. 1500 hens in one house which they never leave from October 1st to May 15th. Did you ever hear of such a thing? 
Must Recognized Theories be Discarded? 
The reader of the Corning Egg-Book will draw his own conclusions. The book tells everything—where the Comings find their 
market, why they raise only white-shelled, sterile eggs, how they keep hens laying regularly in winter, when they hatch chicks that are to do 
their best work in December and January, how to mix the feed that produces the most eggs, how to prevent losses, how they found the best 
breed for egg-producing, and how their whole system works to that one end— eggs, EGGS, EGGS. It gives photographs of their plant, and 
complete working plans of their buildings, which can be made in sections, large or small, as needed. 
Next year the Comings expect to have twice as many hens,—that is, 4000. Will they make twice $12,000 ? 
The Corning Egg-Book is valuable especially because it shows how ordinary, every-day people, without capital or special training, but 
with gumption ” and industry, can make money in a business that can be carried on anywhere. Egg-raising is much simpler than poultry¬ 
raising. The hard work of killing, dressing, and marketing fowls is left out. *The rest can be done by persons who are weak, old, or in 
poor health. Corning methods have proved successful on both a small and a large scale. There is a ready market everywhere. Everybody 
wants fresh eggs. Your own family wants them. When high you can sell them, when low you can eat them. You can sell one dozen or 
one thousand dozen a week, and for READY MONEY, and if you can only learn the secret of raising a regular supply for customers IN WINTER, 
you can get fancy prices. 
Our offer is, we believe, unequalled in the history of poultry journalism ; here it is :— 
FARM JOURNAL two full years ) 
Copy CORNING EGG-BOOK, postpaid ) 
Book and paper may go to different addresses if desired. 
ONLY 50 CENTS 
FARM JOURNAL—“Unlike any other Paper.” You Will Like It. 
FARM JOURNAL is the paper taken by nearly every busy, thrifty farmer, the man who wants to know for sure about agriculture. They value it so highly that 
it is kept year after year and is continually re-read and referred to. It is a departmental paper with a convenient arrangement for the reader to find what he wants, and 
it is what he wants when he finds it. 
The Farm, the Home, Horses, Swine, Sheep, the Cow and Dairy, Bees, Poultry, Fruit and Garden occupy 
their proportionate share in every issue. Then there are the less technical and material pages devoted to matters 
of the home—fashions, housekeeping, recipes and bright, fresh reading for the younger members of the family. 
FARM JOURNAL is a farm paper, but it is far more than this. It is for everybody outside a big city fiat; 
it is equally at home in town, village, suburbs, or on the rural routes. It is for “ humans,” not fat hogs; fat 
hogs are all right, but they do not come first. Every Rural New-Yorker reader will enjoy and learn to love the 
FARM JOURNAL as do its nearly 700,000 present subscribers, scattered all over the United States. 
FARM JOURNAL need never be carried out of the house with the tongs. The advertising columns receive 
the most careful scrutiny of our editorial department and the bars are up all the time against medical, deceptive, 
suggestive or nasty advertising of any kind whatever. 
FARM JOURNAL is thirty-three years old, and has grown to be the leading farm and home paper of the 
world. Its score of editors are men and women who write ” with their sleeves rolled up.” They know what they 
are talking about, and can quit when they are through—a rare virtue. FARM JOURNAL is cream—not skim milk.
