 but figured on her weight and product and food consumption, 

 and from other figures on other farms — she had produced 

 72 pounds of voidings (Fig, 16). So you see we have here 

 represented the machine, the raw material, the finished 

 product and the waste material in the process of egg manu- 

 facture.
