BUILDINGS ON THE CORNING EGG FARM AND MANY HANDY DEVICES

These plans and drawings are of sufficient size to show quite clearly the construction of every building on the Farm. Those who care to do so are entirely welcome to duplicate the entire Plant, or any part of it.

As the dimensions are also given, it is a simple matter to reduce the size of the buildings to suit a flock of any number, because, as we have made clear in the Book, the Corning Method and Buildings are equally suitable for the largest flock, or the few hens and a rooster kept by the average family.

We do not want to be thought egotistical, but believe we have the most complete and economically arranged lay-out in the country, but if any reader thinks he can point out improvements we shall be very glad to hear of them, and to discuss those that are worth while in some future edition of the Book.

Of course it is easier to build from an architect’s plans, and we can furnish working size blue-prints of the principal buildings.
