A series of facts, hints, observations and experiments on the different modes of raining young plantations of oaks : "for future navies" from the acorn, seedling, and larger plants shewing hte difficulties and objections tha thave occurred in the practical part ; with remarks upon the fencing, draining, puring and training young trees a clear and copious statement of the early and great Profits and Advantages which may be derived from Plantations of mixed and various trees, by care and attention and the contrary effects from negligence ; also how trees are retarded or accelerated in growth by the management of young plantations with hints and experimental remarks upon fruit trees ; the whole derived from actual experience on a most extended scale . andwant of proper materials at hand, I wasinduced to dwell more at large on thenature of fencing, and to suggest myideas to obviate the difficulties by point-ing out a cheap and easy way of enclosingsuch land. The earthen banks I have been speak- ing of appear to me to furnish the mostlikely means for enclosing such land, asbeing at once the cheapest and best; and ifthere should be no wood at hand to protectthe young whin hedge, heath or broommay be substituted under the uppermost 22 turf, as I have frequently seen round therabbit warrens in some parts of Lincoln-shire ; but if the whin is strong enoughto adhere to the soil, it is the better, asthe ends cf the materials, reaching intoor past the middle of the bank, mayprevent the whin hedge from thriving ;and there are, I suppose, but few situationswhere some of these kinds are not to bemet with.
