On November 24, 1874, Joseph F. Glidden of DeKalb, Illinois, was granted a patent for fencing material consisting of barbs wrapped around a single strand of wire and held in place by twisting that strand around another. His original double-strand design, the Winner, lived up to its name; it is the most commercially successful of the hundreds of eventual barbed wire designs. Glidden was also the winner in a welter of litigation that reached all the way to the Supreme Court after some dozen other inventors claimed legal priority. Barbed wire was not immediately successful in Texas and elsewhere, especially with smaller cattle ranchers who depended on an 'open range' to sustain their operations. Their opposition led to the barbed wire conflicts of the 1880's, but eventually the ranges were fenced off. Although open range became a thing of the past, barbed wire helped cattlemen to breed herds in protected environments, thus negating the reliance on long-horned cattle that were more suitable to the open range.

-"The Shepherd's Wife" is an air, perhaps a slow dance tune, sometimes used as a waltz in modern times.  It was printed in Johnson’s '''Scots Musical Museum''' (vol. IV, song 362, pp. 372-373) as the vehicle for the song “The Shepherd’s Wife,” with pastoral but comic verses by poet Robert Burns. They begin:

-The song consists of a husband answering his wife's questions. Poet Robert Burns re-wrote an older song, the original of which Robert Chambers <ref>Chambers, '''Songs of Scotland Prior to Burns''', 1862.</ref> traced back to David Herd's '''Ancient and Modern Scottish Songs, vol. ii''' (1775).  The 19th century antiquarian Stenhouse, in his notes to the '''Scots Musical Museum''', suggested that the original tune for the song was "[[Bab at the Bowster]]"/"[[Babbity Bowster]]", AKA "[[ Country Bumpkin (The)]]," a rather better-known melody, while Chambers thought the "Shepherd's Wife" melody could also be traced to Herd. John Glen ('''Early Scottish Melodies''', 1900, p. 175), disagrees with both conclusions, saying that there is no evidence of precursor melodies or earlier appearances in print.  Glen finds that the first appearance of the tune was in William Napier's '''Selection of Original Scots Songs, vol. 3''' (1794, p. 29).

-A jig or quadrille version of the tune appears as "[[Tennessee Hornpipe]]" in Bayard's 1981 collection (No. 499, p. 458), collected in southwestern Pennsylvania.
