Edward Corning

Edward Corning is known as the co-author, with Gardner Corning, of The Corning Egg Farm Book, by Corning himself, originally published in 1912. The book presents the history of the Corning Egg Farm in Bound Brook, New Jersey, along with its methods for breeding, feeding, incubation, housing, and marketing eggs.

Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive both identify him as an author of the work, and the book itself is framed as a complete account of the farm's development and system. That gives his writing a direct, hands-on quality: it is less a literary memoir than a practical record of a specialized business built around egg production.

Little biographical information about his life beyond the book was easy to confirm from reliable sources available here, so the safest picture is of an early 20th-century agricultural author whose reputation rests on this influential poultry-farming manual.
