It will thus be seen that while both lots of hens lost weight 

 during the experiment, the los.s was slightly greater with those 

 fed nitrogenous food, but these produced by far the most eggs. 



The chickens fed on nitrogenous food just about doubled in 

 weight, while those fed carbonaceous food only added about one 

 third to their weight.
