many inftancrs, honeyfucklc, fwcet-briar, all forts of 

 common briar, dog-rofes, Sec. are let in with the tem- 

 porary hedge j this contraft produces a moft (hiking 

 effeft, and, by the time the dry hedge is decayed, 

 thofe articles become a moft formidable fence. When 

 this plan is adopted, which muft be always in dry foils, 

 the back hedge is altogether omitted. 



On the whole, this is a very cheap fence, fincc it is 

 attended with little more trouble than that of planting 

 a common hedge. "When hedges are to be formed 

 behind, the beft way is to open the drill or trench, to 

 the breadth of five feet, by which means both the dead 

 and the living hedges may be carried on together, and 

 thus prevent the opening of a fecond trench, which 

 would only ferve to loofen the ground about the horn- 

 work.* 



The fluff, ufcd in this fence, is not fufficient for ribs 

 for cabins, (heep-hurdles, common paling, &c.; and 

 as it muft be cut away at certain periods, it would, of 

 courfe, go to lofs, to prevent which, the above ufe is 

 found the moft eligible.

 Except to enclofe corn and hay-ftacks, turf, &c., very 

 little ufe is made of common paling : the foregoing 

 fence fuperfedes it, and is performed confiderably 

 cheaper , befides, the materials, neceflary for a ftrong
