Let a farm be inclofed by means of a ditch all 

 round, with a bank thrown up upon one fidej and 

 ifftones can be had, let the face of that bank be 

 lined widi the ftones from bottom to near the top j 

 this lining to flope backward with an angle of about 

 fixty or feventy degrees from the horizon. Any 

 kind of ftones, even round bullets gathered from 

 the land, will anfwer the purpofe very well : upon 

 the top of the bank fow whin feeds pretty thick, 

 and throw -a few of them along the face of the bank. 

 Young plants will quickly appear. ' Let them grow 

 for two years, and then cut them down by means of 

 a hedge-bill, ftripping down by the face of the bank. 

 This mode of cutting is very eafyj and as the feeds 

 foon infinuate themfelves among the crannies of the 

 ftones, the whole face of the bank becomes a clofc 

 hedge, whofe (hoots fpring up with great luxuriance. 

 If another ditch be made on the other fide of the 

 bank, and if this be managed in the fame way, 

 and if the hedge be cut down only once every fe- 

 cond year, (and in this way it affords very good food 

 for beafts) and the inOde and the outfide be cut 

 down alternately, the fence will always continue 

 good, as the hedge at the top will at all times be 

 compleat. This mode of rearing whins is both 

 convenient and (Economical. But where ftones 

 cannot be obtained for making the facing, the bank
