Once it 'le' established, deep Utter requires only occasional stirring •as Compar- ed. with the amount of labor requir- ed in removing and renewing the litter at frequent inteevals. Deep litter often fails during prolonged cold spells or during the mild wea- ther following extremely cold spells. Often the dampness is the result of insufficient ventilation during such periods. During the cold weather the tendency is to close the poultry house up tightly to conserve heat and as a result not sufficient moisture is removed and the litter becomes damp. It is preferable to have a ventilator part- ly open even though the tempera- ture in the house drops below freezing. Poultry are capable of giving good performance at tem- peratures below freezing assuming that the water supply is maintain- ed by frequent changing or by wa- ter heaters. If this is done produc- tion will not, be affected to any great extent. Reporting on results at the Ex- perimental Farm, Indian Head, Sask., poultryman A. P. Piloski says that deep litter has been main- tained there all year round. Flue and slot systems of ventilation have been used and found to be equally efficient in ventilating insulated poultry houses. Deep litter was suc- cessfully used even in pens where no dropping boards or pits were provided and all droppings were deposited in the litter. It would seem that conventional systems of ventilation are adequate during cold spells, but there should be supple- mentary ventilation such as the op- ening of one or more windows whenever the weather permits. Deep litter should be started in the summer or early fall so that it may build up the necessary vol- ume to function properly in the winter and spring. Four or six inches of straw, shavings or saw- dust are used for a start but this is added to until the required depth of six to twelve inches is reached. If newly started litter begins to cake it should be stirred and hydrated lime may be added at the rate of one pound to every five square feet. When old litter begins to cake it generally is an indication that it has not sufficient volume to absorb the droppings and dampness, and so more litter should be added. Fre- quent turning of the litter is un- necessary to keep it in condition and facilitate evaporation of mois- ture. Feeding whole grain in the litter will encourage the birds to scratch and so reduce the amount of hand stirring. Cross Breeding Ups Quality Scotland is the cradle of commer- cial cross breeding of cattle and sheen for market purposes and in sheep long established breeding practices have been developed to supply the required ewe stocks. The word "half bred" to a British farmer means the progeny of a Leicester ram and a North Coun- try Cheviot ewe. As market lambs in Britain are mainly the result of using Down rams on "half breds", it is signifi- cant to note in a review of lamb marketings for Scotland in 1952, that 97 per cent of the lambs "graded" first quality. The same report shows 96 per cent of their home bred steers grading either "Special" or "A". As the system of "grading" used by the Ministry is based on calculated carcass yield, it is evident that Scottish farmers are expert feeders as well as top breeders. The breeding practice followed no doubt can claim a share of the credit.
