INTRODUCTORY
The Method, and the style of the buildings, evolved and worked out
on The Corning Egg Farm, when put into book form proved so helpful
to so vast a number of poultry keepers, that the sale of this first
literature, which for a time was added to as the months went by,
reached the enormous total of over 140,000 copies in eighteen months.
The writings were the simple, plain statements of facts, and enabled
others who followed them to reach a success which, until this System
was used, may have been dreamed of, but was never realized.
The literature from this Farm has gone out over the entire civilized
World, and the visitors, who arrive in ever increasing numbers from
month to month, come from every quarter of the Globe.
The Corning Egg Farm has been written of in periodicals of every
nature, and in almost every language the World over. For the last
twelve months the requests for further, and more explicit, detailed
information relative to breeding and feeding for eggs, the specialty
from which The Corning Egg Farm has never swerved, have become a
demand. So that, after mature deliberation, it was decided to write the
history of The Corning Egg Farm, from its inception to date, including
the work of the last two years, which has never before been fully
published.
“The Corning Egg Farm Book by Corning Himself” is to-day the only
publication giving facts in regard to the Farm and its unique Method
right up to date.
