On Live Hedges. 27 
ridge ; set them in the same order as above, it flourished 
very well; but will require longer nursing, and will not 
stop the small animals so complete as the other. I cal- 
culate the hedge on the mound will be sufficient fence 
in three years from the time set out; the lower kind in 
five or six. Two good men will lay up ten rods ina 
day of the mound. I expect to make one or two hun- 
dred rods this season. I was going to let it rest one 
year more before I informed you; but in considering 
the matter I thought if you should approve of the me- 
thod you would like to try the experiment or to recom- 
mend it this season, if any further information is wanted, 
or any proof I will give it with the greatest pleasure.
