43 FENCE?. [June. 



FENCES. 



THE whole of the hedges which were either 

 new planted or cut down, or planted laft winter 

 and fpring, are now to be examined and cleaned. 

 It was noticed formerly, that a day fpent in de- 

 flroying weeds in their infancy prevents much 

 after labour : Beiides, the ftirring of the ground, 

 in killing the weeds, greatly promotes the health 

 and growth of the young hedge plants, and en- 

 courages thofe which were cut down to pufh forth 

 numerous and vigorous moots. 



We need hardly repeat, that this is a proper 

 time for carrying forward the building of fences 

 with mortar. It may be right to hint, however, 

 that in all cafes where dryftone or Galloway dikes 

 are intended to be built, the ftones mould be pro- 

 cured and laid down while the roads are in a 

 good flate.
