Egg Farming is profitable not only when carried on in a large way, but, to the suburban dweller, a small number of hens in the back yard is a profitable investment, and the system, as worked out on The Corning Egg Farm, succeeds with a few hens, and enables the owner of a small plot of land to always have sanitary, fresh eggs, to reduce his grocery bills, and materially increase the pleasure of suburban life. Corning Method in Small Flocks Two illustrations of the working out of the Corning Method in a small way would doubtless be of interest. While it is true that the 16 feet wide House is the most desirable from all standpoints, the length of the house may be anything from 20 feet to 200 feet, as the house is of sectional construction, 20 feet being a section. In the back yard of a gentleman living in Bound Brook was kept a small pen of birds, in all eighteen, composed of hens and pullets. These were a mixture of Barred Rocks and Rhode Island Reds. The pullets were of early hatch and should have come into eggs at least in the first week of October. The hens completed the moult much earlier than is generally expected, and still the owner was without eggs. Different methods, and nostrums of guaranteed egg producing foods, were tried, but all without success. After a call at The Corning Egg Farm, he stated that in one week and three days the first eggs were found in the nests, and the continuance of the Corning Method of feeding and working the hens produced eggs steadily through the Winter months, beginning with the middle of December, and the birds continued to lay more than an average output until they went into the moult the following Fall. A gentleman, who has a small place within a mile of The Corning Egg Farm, some four years ago purchased hatching eggs from our Breeding Pen, and the following Fall he also bought a small pen of Breeders. He aims to produce and carry through the Winter about one hundred pullets, and for four years now, by adhering strictly to the Corning Method, and with the Corning Strain Single Comb White Leghorns, he has met with a success almost phenomenal. Before he became conversant with the Corning Method (and with the stock he was then carrying before beginning with the Corning Strain) his success was represented by zero, but to-day his balance sheets, which he displays with great pride, are extremely interesting reading. This gives a very fair illustration of two small flocks of different size, and of the results obtained. On Large Farms Turning now to the story of two egg farms which have been built within the last two years, one in New Jersey and the other in Pennsylvania, we find again most interesting and successful conditions.
