fire every 3 days in dry season means 10 X 750 X 3 = 22,500 spent on wages & 12,500 left as profit for owner of the tomang
- Pak Mohsalih said he never borrows capital & doesn't want to; production stops in the rainy season
- at beginning of each dry season he sells off 1 cow (sapi) for 150,000Rp which gives him his starting capital
he buys the cow young at the end of the dry season * raises to sell off at beginning of next dry
- he generally pays wages when sells product but if has money will give advances - true for all tomang owners
- women do farming
- stones come from own land; look for wood on neighbor's land, pay per tree - lime makers do the cutting - dry leaves may be taken free
