short time after it has been made. This 

 mode, I must confess, appears to me very 

 novel, and I cannot be answerable for its 

 success, but here you have it as it was 

 given to me. Fence out a certain quan- 

 tity of land (waste, of course, if possible,) 

 and merely stick up a number of faggots 

 endways, at certain distances from each 

 other, perhaps a couple of yards apart, 

 taking care that the points are stuck deep 

 enough into the ground to prevent all 

 danger of the wind blowing them down. 

 In the course of a very few months, or a 

 single summer, the rank grass, and long 

 weeds growing between the faggots, will 

 make the whole an almost impenetrable 

 mass; whilst the long weeds, partly sup- 

 ported by the sticks and faggots, are ena- 

 bled in a great measure to resist the effects 

 of a winter's frost and snow, or at least if 

 killed, do not fall to the ground, but con- 

 tinue to afford dry lodging for a fox.
