. Principles and practice of poultry culture . Poultry. End frame of long house in Figs. 146 and 147 square, structures the sides of a double-pitch roof may face either north and south or east and west. In houses with two or more compartments a double-pitch roof must, as a rule, face north and south; in single- compartment houses the tent-roof type of con- struction may be used (or approached), with sides very low and the slopes of the roof facing east and west. Shed or single- pitch roofs on single- compartment houses may pitch in any direction desired; on houses with two or more com- partments they must, as a rule, pitch either north or south, — and preferably south, because that gives the greatest amount of sun in the house with the most eco- nomical construction. Be- sides these simple styles of roof several others are occasionally used. Double-pitch roofs with unequal sides are some- times made to adapt the roof to other features of construction. Thus in some brooder houses with sunken walks in the rear, the roof has a long pitch to the south, over the pens, and a short pitch to the north, over the walk. In some of the open-front plans of houses, too, the front slope of the roof is longer than the other, and sometimes at a different angle. In what is known as the semimonitor- top style of construction the part of the house under the front slope is several feet lower than that under the rear slope of the roof, to allow placing windows in the.
