Cutting down an Old Hedge.--An old hedge, however, that has reached its natural height of 10 feet, should be cut down with the axe within a few inches of the ground. In all cases of cutting the stems of thorn plants, the cut surface slopes upwards to the back of the hedge. The cuts on the stems are not in the plane of the line of hedge, but at an angle to it; so that, when viewed in the direction the hedger is cutting, the cuts are not visible, while from the opposite direction they almost face the spectator. Mismanagement of Hedges.--Hedges are wofully mismanaged in the cutting in many parts of the country. Without further consideration than saving the expense of a paling to guard a newcut-down hedge, or in ignorance of the method of making a dead-hedge from the remains of an old live one, the stems of an old hedge are often cut over about T, y2 feet high, to serve as the fence. The consequence is a thick growth of young twigs where the hedge was cut over, at 3)4 feet or so above the ground upon bare stakes. To make an old hedge a valuable fence, it should be cut over near the ground, and a deadhedge made with the part cut off to protect it. But still worse mismanagement is in the mode of making the cuts when hedges are cut down.
