THE STRAWBERRY. g9 



Substitute for the Wattle Hurdle. 



hurdle is not generally known for its utility 

 in agriculture; and for the special purposes of 

 penning or fencing otf turnips and cole-seed 

 for the feeding of sheep ; and being required 

 in the present business at a season when they 

 are to be considered useless for almost every 

 other purpose, but little charge can be sup- 

 posed to be attached to their being thus 

 employed ; and the light wood used in their 

 formation, required for the purpose of wat- 

 tling between the bars, being of little other 

 use, may be applied for fuel at the end of the 

 season. Should any objection be made to 

 this shade, under an idea of its unsightly ap- 

 pearance, others equally beneficial may be 

 formed, by nailing thin bars of light wood 

 lialf inch wide, and at such even distance 

 from each other, on a frame of similiar form, 

 but more finished make ; but which, from 

 the present high price of wood of every de- 

 scription will be found far more expensive, 

 without the least advantage in point of 

 utility.
