Winter and summer, it's non-stop production for Ontario's beef industry. In order to meet
the increasing consumer demands for top quality beef, many farmers are moving to
automated feeding systems. Innovations such as ,self -loading bunker feeders, carousels
and self -unloading silos, allow producers to feed a greater number' of cattle than ever
before. It is estimated that more than 660 -thousand feeder cattle will be fed to market
weight this year. (Photo by Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food).

this drop-in type that is supplied in lengths for be-
tween joists and parallel to joist -installations will fit
perfectly into any area.

Electricity travels
speed of light
When you flip a switch to
turn on a light, the TV, or the
hair dryer, the electrical energy
needed to operate this equip-
ment has come a long way
before it enters your home
through the utility's meter,
perhaps several hundred miles,
and - it --has travelled at the
speed of light.
The electrical energy comes
from many generators in p`o'wer
houses throughout the country,
because the output of the
stations is synchronized and
fed into a common pool or grid.
The generators can produce
power up to 18,000 volts. From
the generating station the
power is transformedAtr a' much
higher .volta ems. In Canada this
could be _75,000 vot-t. This- is
the highest voltage in the world
and was pioneered in Canada
by Hydro Quebec.
Bulk power is carried more
economically over long distan-
ces at a higher voltage because
of the reduction of "line losses"
which in a very non-technical
(and somewhat inaccurate) way
could be •described as
evaporation.
When the power lines reach
the - city,, the high voltage is
reduced to,a lower level and is
sent to distribution stations
throughout the city where it is
again reduced to 2,300 to 6,900
volts to be fed out along the
streets. Transformers mounted
on poles, on pads, or located in
vaults if the service is un-
derground, serve a small group
of homes with 120/200 -volt
power. In an industrial area,
the transformers would provide
600 -volt power plus 120/240
volts for lighting.,
In the home, lights and small
appliances- operate at 120 volts
but there are usually two lines
which cap be connected to give
a higher voltage of 240 volts to
power stoves, clothes dryers.,,
and heavy appliances.
Large industrial or commer-
cial complexes may buy their
power from the electrical utility
in "wholesale" quantities at
some voltage up to 115,000
volts and provide their own
distribution substations.
In its journey fronnn the
• generator to the reading lamp,
the jig saw, the refrigerator, or
the hot water heater, the
stream of power has gone
through switches, transformers,
meters, fuse boxes, and
' automatic protection devices
which reclose the circuit if
there is a temporary, fault: It
has travelled via two-inch
overhead cables on steel
towers, insulated conductors
along the street and into the
'smaller Wires in the walls of
your home.
It has been in a hurry to
serve, you as' it has travelled at
a speed which would take it
seven times around the world
in slightly less than �a second.
} Iat has travelled from . the
generator to the appliance' at
the speed of light -- 186,281
miles per second -- quicker than
you could pronounce the "E"
in Electricity.
