Prof. Henry in the Western Farmer
says: ii should say that n common
two-strand, galvanized barb-wire, well
put up, is superior to many of the rods
rs put up by agents at great cost. If
one intends to use barb wire it would
be better TO twist half a dozen strands
into one than use a single wire. Hav-
NC done this, bury the lower end OF
the wire in moist earth, digging if pos
sible down to water; or, all the better,
running the wire into a well or cistern
below the water. Without a good
Ground connection the wire may be
more than useless. Having the wire
properly planted attach it firmly to
the building every two or three feet
by common staples, just as you would
to the posts when using the wire for
fencing. The common practice OF
using glass thimbles for insulators to
keep the rods away from the building
is altogether wrong; agents no doubt
use this plan to add to the expense
and mystify people. Carry the wire
to the highest points of the building,
and let it rise several feet vertically,
supported by a staff raised to the roof
The wire may be supposed to insure
safety for a distance in every direction
equal to its height above the building.
Thus, if it rise eight feet above tho
peak of the house it guards a circle
sixteen feet in diameter"
