Fig. 84.—The Clark Stretcher.
For stretching barb wire there are various implements in the market, and other quite simple and effective devices can be made on the farm. [Figure 84] shows the Clark stretcher and the manner of using it. Another stretcher, called the “Come Along” stretcher, [figure 85], is used not only for tightening the wires, but also for handling it, in building or moving fences.
