Pelleted: Rations?

Feeders of hogs, ,chickeri broilers and
turkeys derive' the greateSt feeding
advantages from pelleted rations. With
broilers and turkey's, the, purpose is to

hogs there are big advantages . .
improye,ci feeding efficiency (about
'10%), and improved 'rates of gain
(7-8%). The . eXplan6tion is that the
pelleted rations provide increased
digestible energy, increased availability
of whet' nutrients, and reduced feed
wastage through-th-e-WICT61 eliminatrbn
of firkes and dust.
For other classes of: livestock,
'notably laying 'hens and cattle, the
advantages are largely in handling.

We left Toronto at 8,in, the
evening, so had reserved Room-
ettes for the night. trip. They
-were dinky little .rooms with.all
we needed for :corrifort and con-

that the beds had to be partly,

We spent the morning Watching
the changing scenery through a
;gentle rain. It stopped before we
arrived in Moosonee but it was
cloudy , cold and windy. We ,
walked from the station to our
Motel - about half a mile and
our cases were very heavy before
we were there! The Motel (there
are two) was all one could-want-
in comfort , and had its own din-
ing room. There are taxis and •
mini-buses in the Village but they
were not around when we wanted
them.. There were cars, truc
motor cydles - we saw two, young
Indian boys riding a small-Honda -
but bicycles are not as popular as
here. Therailway reached Moos-
onee in 1,931 and most of the vil-
lage has been built since then.:
The streets are, mostly unpaved ,'
and there are some sidewalks.

mixture of the old and the very
modern. The houses range from,

probably 10 years old and is
, brick and there is 'another build-
ing , just finished, housing other
Government offices. (One can
almost date the election years•by
the age of such bundingsT) There
are some very small shops and
the •fairly.large Bay Store which
is just like any small department
store Mere and even the prices
are' just about the same The
'Lions' have a gift Shop:
of Indian and Eskimo crafts of
various kinds. There are four
churcheS in the village. 'We
visited the Anglican which is '
undergoing renovation, and the
Oblate which is a large brick
Catholic Church. •You may' know'
that the present Anglica.n Bishop
Moosonee was in the Lucknow

the brilliant sun was'shining on
acres of mud flats with a few tiny
rivulets running across. We had
forgotten that the Moose was.a
tidal river. • We found an Indian
with a cargo canoe with motor to
take us across to nose Eae_tory
on one of those Islands. Moose
Factory' was one of .the early trad•
ing posts of the "Governor and
Company of Adventurers of Erig-
land trading into Hudson's Bay"
formed in 1670. What a grand-
iose name! Quite a comedown
to' "The Bay" as the stores are
known now .. In those days, busi-
ness was all by barter, and con-
sisted of furs brought in by the
Indians and traded for whatever
caught their fancy. Moose Fact-'

very welcome. At/Cochrane 'we
were to change to The Polar Bear
Express in 15 minutes, but that
was the Excursion Train and we
thought the regular train, an hour
later might be more interesting.
The Excursion train makes one or
two stops but the regular•train •- .
stops anywhere in the winder-
ness to take on or put off passeng-.
ers or freight. 'We saw one
trainman jump off and carry a.
• parcel to a house beside_ the
tracks and at another place two
boys from Pennsylania got off
to camp in the bush after .the
conductor promisted to pick
them up two days later. Both
boyS carried heavy back packs.
For a number of years, I have
been promising myself 'a trip
north to Moosonee. I remember,
that there were some school child•

around Kingsbridge last spring and
