Egg Shells for Food.

Egg shells are commonly thrown away, but, according to the Gazette de Campagnes, this is a very regrettable practice, since they are rich in calcine salts as well as in phosphates. Pulverized <*rg shells mixed into the nourishment of young live stock and poultry will be of considerable advantage to the farmer, as they constitute a very useful nourishment, particularly for the younger animals. Stock and poultry-breeders should even purchase the egg shells from confectioners. bakers and restaurants, as large quantities of them may be used with advantage.
