Jasper County Democrat, Volume 3, Number 43, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 February 1901 — CRUSHED OYSTER SHELLS. [ARTICLE]

CRUSHED OYSTER SHELLS.

This is one of the best egg pro ; ducers known. Hens have more difficulty in getting carbonate of lime to form the shell than any other part of the egg, and fail to lay for this reason. Crushed Oyster Shell contains 96 per cent, of pure carbonate of lime, and one-third more eggs are positively received from hens that have free access to it, trusting them to eat the amount necessary to form the shell on the eggs. Sold by B. 8. Fendig, Poultry Dealer, Rensselaer.
