Farm Fencing—Part IV

Abstract

Put the coil of wire on the spindle or reel before cutting the ties. The outside strand is pulled out threaded through the posts and fastened to the first straining post. If two or three men haul on the wire while it is being fastened a nearer job can be done .run out the wires haul by hand and cut to required lengths. A native assistant should be instructed not to pull out wire in a jerky manner. He should be provided with an old sack to put over his shoulders to carry the wire and told to walk away steadily.
