VI. Replanting WORN-OUT HEDGES. It wiH 

 be doing juflice to the Norfolk management 

 to mention a practice, which at prefent pre- 

 vails, of grubbing up old worn-out hedges, 

 and planting nevr ones in their flead. 



In this cafe the old hedge is (or ought to be) 

 thrown down in autumn — that the foil may be 

 thoroughly foaked and tempered with the win- 

 ter's rains and frolls : — early in fpring the foot 

 of thc^ bank fliould be formed, and, In due fea- 

 fon, the layer put in, and the fence completed. 



By this means a difgraceful nuifance is re- 

 m.oved, and a new flraight hedge obtained; 

 and this at a fmall additional expence. — The 

 roots alone, if the old hedge be full of large 

 ilub*, and loaded with ilem^ — will pay for 



p-rubbingr :
