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.

-'''FURBELOWS AND APRICOCKS'''. AKA - "[[Mad Frolick (The)]]." English, Country Dance Tune (6/8 time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears in all four editions of John Young's '''Second Volume of the Dancing Master''' (1710, 1714, 1718, 1728), and in all three editions of Walsh's '''Second Book of the Compleat Country Dancing-Master''' (1719, 1735, 1749). As "Furbelow'd Apricocks" it was also printed by Johnson in '''Wright's Compleat Collection of Celebrated Country Dances, vol. 2''', of 1749.

-'Apricocks' are what we call today the fruit apricot. A cordial was made of apricots that in Queen Anne's time was called 'Ratafia of Apricocks'. However, ''Furbelows'' refers to an aspect of womens' dress in the era, a pleated ruffle or ornamental frill. Mrs. Centlivre's play '''The Platonick Lady''', written in 1707, relates the country lady who comes to town to learn 'breeding':
-[[File:furbelow.jpg|200px|left|A furbelow]]
-<blockquote>
-'''Mrs. Dowdy''': ''Ladyship, why what a main difference is here between this town and the country. I was never called above forsooth''
-''in all my live. Mercy on me, why you have spoiled my petticoat, mum, zee, Peeper, she has cut it in a thousand bits.''<br>
-'''Peeper''': ''Oh, that's the fashion, these are furbelows madam--'tis the prettiest made coat.''<br>
-'''Mrs. Dowdy''': ''Furbelows, a murrain take 'em, the spoil all the zilk. Good strange, shour London women do nothing but study'' ''vashions, they never mind their dairy I warrant.''<br>
-'''Turnup''': ''Ladies have no other employment for their brain--and our art lies in hiding the defects of nature. Furbelows upwards were''
-''designed for those that have no hips, and too large ones, brought up the full-bottom'd furbelows.''
-</blockquote>
-However the term ''furbelow'' also came to mean 'a decoration of color or interest that is added to relieve plainness', and in that context a 'furbelow of apricocks' might mean a decoration of either the fruit or the color.
