Lime and Soft-shelled Eggs 
When hens lay soft-.shelled eggs, they 
tell us to feed lime, oyster shells, etc. 
Now it is being stated most emphatically 
by those who ought to know that neither 
men nor animals can assimilate any min¬ 
eral that has not first become part of 
•me vegetable growth, that lime, phos¬ 
phorus. iron, in any mineral form, cannot 
be used by the body ; it must be vegeLible 
lime, vegetable phosphorus, etc. Cau a 
hen use anything hut vegetable lime in 
making egg shells? I cau guess; I would 
like to hear from someone who knows. 
New Jersey. F. G. 
ILow many things that you believe to 
he true do you^aiow to he true, and on 
what do you l»:ise your positive kno\\d- 
edge? Faith plays a far greater part in 
our daily lives than does knowledge, and 
yet faith is frequently misplaced and 
often becomes mere credulity. A hen 
shows by habitually produciug soft egg- 
February 9, 1918 
shells that either her body is deficient iu 
shell-making material or fails to use it. 
We feed her carbonate of lime in mineral 
form (oyster shells) and her eggs imme¬ 
diately become jiroiierly encased in min¬ 
eral carbonate of lime (eggshells) again. 
A young girl becomes pale and apparently 
almost bloodless. An examination of her 
blood shows it to be deficient in iron. 
Her physician prescribes iron in mineral 
form, perhaps carbonate of ii’on. and she 
soon becomes ruddy and full-blooded 
again. h''requent oh.servations of like 
kind convince us that these results are 
not due to mere coincidence, and yet we 
do not know, for we have not carried out 
the elaborate, and. t<5 us. impossible phys¬ 
iological studies that alone can furnish 
proof of our assumptions. So there are 
two kinds of knowledge the proven and 
the assumed. We deal chiefly in the lat¬ 
ter, for we have proven but few things. 
The editor has sent your request for a 
reply from one who “knows” to me. A 
high compliment, surely, and may he 
never find out how little I really know. 
But, to give a direct answer to your 
question. “Can a hen n.^e mineral lime in 
the making of egg-shells?” I think so. 
M. R. I). 
A Massachusetts Hen Man’s Figures 
I have been interested in the articles 
appearing from week to week in The K. 
N.-Y. on the proposition whether poultry 
can he made to pay a profit with the very 
high price of feed. It pays to keep 
books, as you will see. I think our case 
may be an exception, for we have re¬ 
ceived more than the 35 cents of the con¬ 
sumer’s dollar, most of our poultry pro¬ 
ducts being sold dii-ect to the consumer.

You see the eggs sold at an average 
price of nearly 49 cents per dozen. W’e 
used the small eggs, and the price aver¬ 
aged a little better than 43 cents. I 
make no mention of the manure, which is 
of coiisideiuible value, as we would find 
if we had to buy. Just a few things that 
helped to reduce our profits; We hatched 
2.(537 chicks, sold 2.(K>4 at all ages, from 
day-old to matured pullets. We lost by 
death, hawks, crows, aud we may have 
by foxes. 573. and we lost about 14 fowls 
by death. Now I Avill leave it to you 
and The R. N.-Y'. readers to say what 
you and they think about poultry pay¬ 
ing. 
Our stock is AVhite I’lymouth Rock, 
and as true as we can keep them. If 
they were all 200-egg heus. what a show¬ 
ing we could make! There may he a 
few that trap-nesting might discover. One 
pen of 30. of which we kept a separate 
record, laid in their first year 4,664 eggs, 
an average of 155 14/30. w. T. avallis.
