Corning Farm Making More Than $6.41

At The Corning Egg Farm, to-day, the hen is making considerably more than $6.41 per year. A large number of cockerels, which formerly brought merely the live weight broiler price, are now being reared and disposed of for breeders. Hatching eggs are sold in large quantities, but, it must be remembered, before one can reach this point, his Strain of birds must be brought to a high point of perfection, he must establish his reputation, and his customers must find his claims are substantiated. As an illustration, purchasers of hatching eggs from The Corning Egg Farm, in the season of 1910, came back with orders for the season of 1911 increased by the multiple of ten, and these same customers are already booking large orders in September and October, 1911, for the hatching season of 1912.

This chapter is written to emphasize our statement that anyone possessed of the ordinary qualifications to succeed with poultry, can, by following The Corning Egg Farm Method, surely build up a large and profitable business.
