The great aversion which tin- ne groes have to splitting rails and tin* scar<*ity of timber in many sections, will compel our farmers to devote their attention to the subject offences. Live fences or hedges, a good many years ago were tried in many sections of our State, us may be seen now by what remains of the briars that have been left. We have many plants that will do well in Georgia as hedge plants. What is best or what, is suit ed for different localities wv are not prepared to say. The great difficulty we nave seen in hedges not succeed ing in our section has been the want of attention. Asa general rule Geor gia farmers are negligent, and when t hey set out a tree or try anything now if it succeeds without attention it is well and good. We luu'e seen in Tex as a Cherokee or McCartney rose hedge* around a whole farm through which nothing could pass. Twice each year this hedge was trimmed and all bushes that had come up among the briars was cut down to pre vent the bushes from growing up which would injure the hedge. After the war this was neglected, and in two years the bushes had grown up, the briars had died out and there was many breaks in the hedge. The same farts are known to us in regard to an Osage orange hedge, which, as long as attended to did well and was a fine fence, but in two years of ne glect it had grown out of shape and Imd taken up so much ground as to be come unmanageable. From ohsorv- I ation we are convinced that with prop ier attention live fences can be made I to succeed in our section and in these ! days rtf pilfering from our fields it ! would be a great protection to our i crops, and when timber is scarce 1 would be economical. Wc have a i native shrub or tree which in England I is used as a hedge plant, namely, the i hawthorne. The black locust might ! also be used for the same purpose. . Added to these is the McCartney rose, ! Cherokee rose, Pyraeanthus, Prickly I near or Cactus. Mr. P>. H. Wrigley's | Fairview Nursery, near Macon, has a ! beautiful hedge of the flowing bear i which no doubt will prove a valuable 1 plant for at least inside hedges. L. Administrator’s Sale.
