The Corning Egg Farm book, by Corning himself

A practical history and manual recounts the farm's founding and lays out a systematic approach to large-scale egg production. It explains housing layouts, the large-flock system to reduce costs and labor, and sanitary methods for preparing eggs for market. Breeding advice emphasizes selection of prolific white Leghorn stock, line-breeding to preserve type without close inbreeding, and producing unrelated cockerels for mating. Incubation and brooding guidance stresses uniform temperature, ventilation, and producing livable chicks, while feeding chapters prioritize succulent green foods (notably sprouted oats), mineral supplements, and animal-food substitutes. The work also covers watering systems, coal ash use, fixed routines for feeding and egg collection, and farm security and pest control.
