The BOYS
". ABOUT THIN SHIELDED EGGS

Have you any hens which are lay
ing soft shelled eggs? Do You know
why? Well, it is because they aren't
getting any lime to make egg shells
out of.
You couldn't expect a mason to
build silo without cement. 80
you can't expect hens to put shells
around their eggs without lime.
They must have the materials TO
work with before they can build
eggs. And the better materials they
are furnished, the better eggs they
manufacture.
Speaking about masons, common
plaster makes fairly good source
OF lime for hens. Crush il up and
put it in hopper, where they can
get it. They will make very good
shells from il.
