Make Your Hens Lay.

How to make hens lay is shown by
the following L. S. government en-
pertinent with the same hens during
- days.
Experiment No. l., without oyster
shells produced only six eggs.
Experiment No. =, with oyster
shells and bone compound produced
33 eggs.
A hen has more dilticultyin getting
the needed carbOnite and phosphate
of lime to form the shell, as well as
the egg, than any other element OF
food, and for this reason she does
not lay. In dressing non-laying
hens. large numbers of embroyo eggs
are found, for which no material for
the shell has been furnished, there
fore no eggs. Oyster Shells and
Bone Compound furnish 90 per cent
carbonate and phosphate OF lime.
Each pound gives the above named
constitutes for seven dozen eggs, j.
