For fastening barb-wires to the post nothing has been found so satisfactory as staples made for the purpose from No. 9 steel wire. They are cut with sharp points to drive easily into the posts, and are of different lengths, from one inch and a quarter to one and three-quarters. [Figures 72] and [73] show the usual staples for wire, and [figure 74] a staple made specially for strap fencing.
