FENCES. 



In these several Norfolk enclosures, the fences consist 

 of a ditch four feet wide an.d three deep, the quick laid in-

The Banham and Carleton enclosures are well grown, 

 and the fences excellent ; but this much depends on good 

 care and attention; for if the banks are made too steep, or 

 negledled, they slip down, and gaps are the consequence. 



Mr. Reeve, of Wighton, in forming new fences, 

 gives a complete summer-fallow to the lines where the 

 quicks are to be set, and dresses the land with a good com- 

 post: and instead of leaving the bank in a sharp angle 

 at top, he flattens it, to retain the moisture. 



Mr. Hill remarks, that in making new fences, a south- 

 erly aspedl, in strong land, will be a fence four years 

 sooner than a northerly one ; but on light sandy land, the 

 north best, for the sake of moisture ; on mixed soils, he 

 prefers the east and west.
