Ti^OST Rural New-Yorker readers are familiar 
with the story of the Comings and their egg farm. 
How they started in 1905 with 30 hens and no experi¬ 
ence; how they now have in New Jersey 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. This 
winter they have 4000 hens, and have been getting 70 
cents a dozen and more for eggs. What do you think 
their profits will be? 
The Corning Egg-Book 
(entitled “ $6.41 per Hen per Year ”) tells HOW these two men do it. Not theories, but fact*; 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. The book is freely illustrated with photo-engravings of the Comings’ farm and buildings, 
and full detailed working plans of brooder and colony houses, cockerel and laying houses, door and floor 
construction, etc. Any carpenter or builder can reconstruct the whole plant from these drawings, in full 
or part size. 
YOU probably cannot take up egg-farming as a profession; but if you keep even a few chickens you 
should know the latest developments of poultry science. Many features of the Coming’s system are new 
and startling. Old theories, hitherto accepted by everybody, are discarded. Every chicken owner owes it 
to himself and his flock to keep up with the procession.
