►M2. Bertram'+e wife, the former
. Jeanette Todd. Ewing of Seaforth,
Ont., and their daughter, Janet, went
to the Hotel Roosevelt last evening
from their home in New Rochelle.
Mr. Bertram was 62 years old. the
entered Mr. Carnegie's service in
1891, and his close association with
the philanthropist was rewarded with
one of the two life trusteeships that
the philanthropist provided, for in his
letter of gift in 1911. Mr. Bertram
likewise received a $10,000 annuity
under Mr. Carnegie's will.
Born in Edinburgh, he was educat .
ed in Daniel. Stewart's College in that
city. He =tarried in 1904.
It was reported yesterday that Mr.
Carnegie first met Mr, Bertram in
Johannesburg, !South Africa, although
the date was not 'known. .Mer. Bert-
ram became associated with .the Car-
negie educational and library inter-
-eats in 1897, serving the first year
eutside the United States. He came
to this country in 1898.
When the Carnegie Corporation
was formed in 1911 he became its
'first secretary, and death found him
$till in the position. The only other
person besides i'Ir. Bertram who re-
,cei+ved a life trusteeship in the cor-
poration was Robert A. Franks, the
present treasurer.
Associates said Mr. Bertram's
major interest in life was the organ-
ization which is expending the inter-
est on a fortune of $135,000,000 for
the advancement of adult. education.
-fine arts and scientific knowledge and
the improvement of libraries in the
colleges and universities of, the Unit-
ed States, Canada and other parts of
the British Empire.
He owned a farm near Groton
Lake, N. Y., where he spent much of
his leisure. He was a golf enthusiast.
A private funeral service was held
aat his home in New York on Thurs-
day and a public service at North
Avenue Presbyterian Ohurch con-
ducted by Rev. 'R. G. McGregor, D.b.,
and immediately after the remains
were taken to Seaforth for inter -
intent in the Ewing family plot in
Maitlandbank cemetery on Saturday,
the services at the grave being con-
ducted by Rev. I. B. Kaine. '-The pall-
bearers at Seaforth were Messrs. J.
A. Wilson, Oscar Neil, W. Brine, J.
C. ;Mullen, 'J. MacTavish and Mayor
A. D. Sutherland. The remains were
.accompanied from New York by Mrs.
Bertram and daughter, Miss Jean
Bertram; Mr. Miller, assistant secre-
tary to the late Mr. Bertram; and
Mr. and Mrs. John F. McLaren, of
Toronto, who were guests at the
Queen's while here.
FARM NOTES
Richest Farm Manure
Poultry manure is und'ou'btedly the
richest produced on the farm. Poul-
try manure, however, ferments very
quickly, losing if left exposed, a
Large proportion of its nitrogen as
rammonia. This fact emphasizes the
desirability of systematically and fre-
quently cleaning off the boards be-
neath the roosts, a plan that also
conduces to the general good health
and thrift of the fowl. In summer
the manvre,previously mixed with
loam to destroy stickiness and facili-
tate distribution, may be applied di-
rectly to the land and worked with
the surface soil—its best preserva-
tive. In winter (and at other seasons
when the manure cannot be used di-
rectly) it should be mixed with a fair
proportion of loam, dried peat, muck,
sawdust, together with a little land
plaster or superphosphate to fix the
'nitrogen. It should then be packed
tightly in barrels or boxes and stored
protected from rain until required in.
the spring. Lime and wood ashes
should not be used for this purpose
:as they set free nitrogen. Poultry

manure !being estsentialliv eli:trogen-
ous is particularly valuable for gar-
den and leafy crops generally, and
the majority of poultry keepers will
no doubt do well to reserve it for
this use. However, if the amount a-
vailable permits, 'it can be .profitably
employed fore the cereals, grasses,
roots and , corn.
Improvement of Sheep
At this season of the year when
farmers are marketing their lambs
and 'making preparations' to cull out
their ewe flock and place a pure bred
ram at the head of .the flock, many
will he interested to know that ram
grading is now nearing completion.
A list of officially graded rams of the
varioes breeds is available for each
county' at the office of the Agricul-
tural Representative. Through the
assistance of the Federal Department
of Agriculture purchasers of graded
pure bred rams are entitled to the
following premiums if they comply
with the rules and regulations for
Ram Bonus Policy.
XX Lamb $2.00.
XX Yearling, $3.00.
XXX Lamb, $3.00.
XXX Yearling, $5.00.
The Province of Ontario has made
substantial progress in the' inept-ove-
n-sant
neprove-n- ant of its sheep industry. This is
evidenced fby the winnings of pure
bred breeders at National Exhibitions
such as the Royal Winter Fair at
Toronto and the International Live
Stock Exposition at Chicago.
The quality of lambs marketed in
Ontario is due largely to the use of
pure bred sires. Toronto is now the
largest lamb consuming market in
Canada and provides a market out-
let for good quality well -finished
lambs at all seasons of the year.
Graded pure bred rams are available
at very reasonable prices from the
various breeders of pure bred'sheep
and no farmer who keeps a flock of
breeding ewes should be without the
services of a pure-bred ram.
Straw For Winter Feed
While straw is not generally con-
sidered as a nutritious feed for live
stock, yet in times of fodder scarcity
it is very valuable. Horses and dry
cows may be wintered entirely on
straw, if supplemented by one-half
to three-quarters of a pound of lin-
seed oil meal a day, or other similar
protein feed. A ration of half straw
and half legume hay will carry such
stock through the winter in excellent

condition. Little sthaw should be
used for bedding this year when •it is
needed for feed. Good oat straw
contains a considerable amount of
total nutrients, though ,practically no
protein. This is why straw alone
makes a poor showing as an exclu-
sive feed for live stock, .but when.
supplemented with a little high pro-
tein feed, its carbohydrate content
can be utilized to excellent advant-
age. When feeding straw, always
provide (plenty of mineral matter in
addition. Give cattle, horses and
sheep free access to a mixture of 28
pounds of bone meal, 50 pounds of
finely ground limestone, 20 pounds of
salt,' 2 pounds of iron oxide, one-.
half ounce of copper sulphate and one
ounce of potassium iodide.
In feeding value, oat straw leads,
with barley, wheat and rye straw
following in the order named. Corn
fodder, when harvested before the
leaves dry up and blow away, is con-
siderably More valuable than the
straw of the small grains. Sweet
clover straw, after threshing out the
seed, is specially valuable in a year
like this.
An Interesting Experiment
Because of 'the extreme shortage •of
hay and high prices this year a small
field of excellent feed owned by Wil-
liam Couse of Streetsville is of un-
usual interest to Ontario farmers.
Mr. Couse has demonstrated thatit
is possible to get an excellent yield
of the best quality hay from seed
sown in the same season. Moreover
hi. Drop is not of the emergency
character, like green oats or millet
something that requires s p e c i a 1
knowledge and special care, but is
largely alfalfa with a little red . clov-
er and ttn�?'�othy, and unlike the em-
ergency t 'ops, the field will be good
for further yields of shay next year.
The field was sown about the first
of May last spring with a mixture
composed of 15 pounds of alfalfa, 5
pounds of Ted clover and one pound
of timothy. No nurse crop was used
and the field had not been previously
in alfalfa for fifteen years. No in-
oculation was used but an excellent
catch resulted. Owing to dry wea-
ther .the stand was on the thin side
when the first cutting was made a-
bout the first of July. At that time
the plants averaged 34 inches in
height and a crop of close to a ton
per acre of cured hay was taken off.
Had there 'been the usual amount of
rain Mr. Couse believes that twice
this yield would have been secured.
The .hay was of excellent quality,
with plenty of valuable leaves.
Aided by timely rains the second
growth was much finer and thicker
with mach of -the original seed, ap-
parently, not germinating until af-
ter the first cutting had been remov-
ed. While the first crop was almost
entirely alfalfa, by the middle of
summer both the, red clover and tim-
othy began to appear. This crop
was cut in early October and aver-
aged three tons of green feed per
acre, orbetween a ton and a half
and two tons of cured hay. Mr.
Couse estimated that one acre would
provide pasture for a good milk cow
for 144 days, if it was decided that
hay was not needed.
This experiment seems to prove
that it is possible even in the face
of dry weather to produce over two
tons per acre of cured hay from the
first year's seeding. If applied on a
general scale it would indicate that
winter killing of meadows on a scale
like last year need not be as' serious
as is the case to -day with the hay
acreage very seriously reduced. From
every standpoint the experiment ap-
pears practical and indficates that
year-old meadows, killed out in early
spring may be made to produce nor-
mal shay returns by moderately heavy
sowings without nurse crops. Fur-
thermore, as a mixture rather than
straight alfalfa, is advised by Mr.
Colse, the cost of the seed is very
low, such mixtures as he used sell-
ing for less than straight alfalfa, or
red clover. Fortunately for any far-
mer who may wish to follow Mr.
Couse's example next spring, ample
supplies of home-grown alfalfa seed
are in sight for next spring, though
red clover is going to be scarce.
