Joseph Glidden, the man who fenced the plains with barbed wire, opens this January 1884 issue of a great Midwestern farm weekly. Inside: notes on seed corn, a plea to build a farmer's library, and columns on the newest farm machinery and implements. A snapshot of Illinois agriculture at the moment steel wire changed everything.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
