Our business is running The Corning Egg Farm and not writing books, so that in telling our Story we may have lacked some of the polish of the experienced author, but every word that we have written is true, and we shall be very glad to welcome any of our readers at the Farm, and let them see for themselves just what we have.
The Corning Egg Farm actually does enjoy the supreme position among the egg farms of the World that we claim for it, and that the great authorities, after thorough, personal examination, have frankly admitted.
And we have been far more open in telling you everything that has been done on the Farm than, for instance, owners of large manufacturing plants would be.
Methods and problems in the successful and profitable production of eggs for table and hatching purposes have been worked out on The Corning Egg Farm, and we are quite willing others should have the benefit of our very expensively acquired experience.
Nothing to Hide
We have nothing to hide; nothing to keep to ourselves. We started in a very modest way, and believe that is the preferable way to successfully build up a paying poultry farm. Those who have an abundance of capital might be tempted to work out too many self-evolved theories and to begin on too elaborate and extravagant a basis, whereas, in our opinion, it is wiser to follow precedent, known successes, and start in a smaller way and expand.
Illustrations are Photographs
The illustrations in this Book are all from photographs, and the camera cannot be persuaded to exaggerate or to show buildings where there are none. The diagrams are drawn of sufficient size, and such measurements given, that our plant in its entirety, or any part of it, can be readily reproduced by anyone who cares to do so.
The Corning Success
The success we have made on the Farm gives us a certain feeling of satisfaction that we are entitled to enjoy, and yet we have accomplished nothing that cannot be done by any person who will give as much thought, time and attention to the work as we have.
