FANC|ERS
BEST LITTER TO
USE IN BROODER
Shavings, Cut Straw and Cut
Hay Meet With Favor.

One of the commonest questions
asked of the poultry department OF
the New Jersey agricultural expert
ment station during the spring Is,
"What is the best litter to use in
the brooder housep For the bene-
fit of all poultrymen who are trou-
bled with this problem the station
issues the following statement:
There is no best litter, but there
are certain requirements that litter
must meet in order to be satisfac-
tory for use in brooding chicks.
These requirements are that 1t
should be: Light in weight, thus al
lowing the droppings and dirt to
work to the floor so the chicks are
not likely to pick up contaminated
material; absorbent, and therefore
capable Of keeping the brOoder
house floor dry; cheap, so one can
afford to replace it every five days
after the first four weeks; and
clean, which means freedom from
mold, mustiness, and dust.
Shavings, cut straw, and cut hay
meet these requirements. They are
not the only materials that one can
use, but they are among the best.
Straw or hay used for litter should

always be cut. If the straw or hay
is not cut it becomes matted, and

therefore of no value for litter.
