EGG SHELLS AS MANURE.
Egg shells are for the most part lime, though, from other matter adhering, they may possess some other fertilising value.
They may be used at the rate of 4oz. per square yard, being finely ground before application and then mixed with soil in the ordinary way of preparing ground for crops. The dressing will certainly be
useful where there is a deficiency of limo iu the soil and in no case is there likely to be any harm resulting, but possibly more lienefit than may result from lime alone.
