Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fence Problem in the United States: As Related to General Husbandry and Sheep Raising; Facts and Statistics From Authoritative Sources, With a View of Fence Laws and Customs
First. IT Is strong. A strand of Glidden Barb Wire has pounds tensile strength.
Second. By the use of a double twisted wire, the fence material is strength ened, and at the same time given the property of adapting itself perfectly to all changes of temperature. The fence is strong and tight in all seasons.
Third. It is the easiest handled and transported of fence materials. The usual market package, a compactly wound spool of wire (two of which occupy as freight about the same space as a barrel of flour) weighs 100 pounds and carries feet, or over eighty rods of wire. Thus the farmer's team can carry in one load, to any part of his farm, enough fence material to enclose a very large field. The railroad company can transport in a single car-load, enough Barb Fencing for twenty miles of fence.

The Fence Problem in the United States (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1882, delves into the adoption of barbed wire fencing in rural America. As the readily available supply of timber for wooden fences dwindled, this sturdy, new fencing material made of steel gained popularity. It presented a formidable defense against livestock and trespassers, yet was easy to erect and maintain. Deemed superior to iron fencing due to its strength and the protection from the elements afforded by its galvanized coating, barbed wire became the choice of farmers and ranchers alike. The increased ease of fencing large areas and the affordability for those with smaller properties led to barbed wire's wide implementation. Further, as the author points out, the fencing provided environmental benefits by safeguarding forests and served as a cost-effective way to prevent sheep from wandering onto neighboring properties and falling prey to predators. Through an examination of official reports, the author presents a compelling argument for the adoption of barbed wire fencing, emphasizing its many advantages over traditional wooden fences. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282734626_0
