Start of a Hedge Fence

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The system of fencing for these farms is a most permanent one. Dirt is piled up about two feet and a half high and two feet wide at the bottom. This is sodded on both sides so that pasture area is gained rather than lost. Then on top a thick hedge is planted. In a few years will attain a dense growth high enough to make a real barrier for all classes of livestock."
