Agricultural engineering. 418 AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING This side of roof in two sections goof of C*/am 3a. rn do&rcfo prefer a cloth covering for the windows in place of window glass. This type of house is generally built on skids or runners, which facilitate its moving from one location to another. These runners may best be made of 4 x 6 pieces, although 2x6 pieces are quite often used. Reinforced concrete skids have been used successfully for portable houses and have the advantage of being free from decay. Shed-roof House. The shed-roof house takes more material than any other shape, and is not generally made. The floor, sides, ends, and roof may be so made as to be taken apart for moving. Such construction might be an advantage where the house is to be moved a long distance; otherwise the use of skids would be far more conven- ient. Gable-roof House.

This can be done more effectually when the house is located east and west and a section of the south half of the roof is made to open.
