fIEDGEs.-We have seen itfrequently stated by the correspondents and. editors of New England agricultural papers that the buck thorn is proved there to be far the best plant for hedges. The seed or plants can be pro cured III Boston. l. also grows from cut tings. A correspondent i'll late Massachu- sets Ploughman says:

 After some experience in growing them, and from frequent and continued observations, should select the buckthorn. My reasons for giving the preference to this variety, are the facts that 1t is easy of culture, of very rapid vegetation, having beautiful foliage, is compact and unyielding in it's natural growth, and is more hardy than any other variety It also possesses certain medical qualities which render ii impalatable and nauscous to cattle, and deters them from browsing upon

 t. The usual age at which the plants are set

 is two yetrs. and as the price now asked for them by the nurserymen is rather high, it would perhaps be the most economical plan for farmer, who may wish to set consid arabic length of hedge, and who has land and manure to spare, to procure seed and raise the plants for himselfo Doliar Farmer.
