FENCES. 



The whole works recommended in the preced- 

 ing month, under this article, are (till to be car- 

 ried forward. 



This is perhaps the beft feafon of any for mak- 

 ing new fences of deciduous plants. If the land 

 is dry, they will have made fine roots before the 

 fevere weather of winter ; and fo be ready to pro- 

 ceed with vigour in fpring* When, however, 

 hedges of any of the deciduous forts are required 

 where the foil is wet or ftrong clay, it will be 

 proper to defer the planting of fuch till fpring. 



As formerly obferved, dryflone and Galloway 

 dikes may ftill be carried on with propriety, but 

 by no means any walls that require to be built 

 with mortar, for reafons formerly afligned. It 

 may be proper to notice here, that a dryflone 

 or Galloway dike ought never to be founded up- 

 on ground when it is deep frozen, otherwife it 

 will be in danger of being much loofened when 

 the froft goes off.
