An example will show the use of this table : Suppose a hen 

 laid 84 eggs between March i and July i. What would be its 

 percentage production? A glance at the table shows that from 

 March i to July i there are 122 days. To determine the per- 

 centage production we have then (84 X 100) -^ 122 = 68.9%. 

 Similar calculations may be made with equal ease for any other 

 period of a year.
