How to Trim an Usage Hedge
From the Burlington IIeNkeye


saw an honest farmer trimming an
Usage hedge over in Henry county. It
il Il very peculiar operation, and | lis
tened t" it with Il goou deal of interest.
| say listened, because the interesting
feature of trimming Il hedge consists
not so much in what the farmer does,
as in what he says. The honest farmei
had a crooked knife. on the end of /.
hoe handle. He stuck this into the
hedge and gave it i jerk.
Then he raid:
"Ah,'
Then he e:ierl1el again and down came
a hedge switch. Then he said:
"Ah-h!!"
Then he took hold Of the witncrc.!
switch and therw it away from the
hedge. Thcnho put his thumb in his
mouth and stood OF one iout, and said
Ah-h-Ht II -!
Then he once more unto the breach,
dear, dear friends. made another prod
with the hook. and said. loudly:
Gee whiz "
Then he :jcrke.l up q wicked Hooking
branch with his hook, and ioarcd:
Great snakes !"
Then he pulled ont 4 crooked branch,
so full OF thorns that it made your back
over it and it wrapped itself around his
legs, lie stood still for "a second, thc1,
dropped his hook, lifted his hands to
Heaven, and screamed:
"Oh Bloody mursier."
The next RAKE, he made he lro;lyht
a whole top OF :. hedge plant, with five
or six branches. right down on his back
Then he threw his hedge hook fifty feet
into Il trn-arre field, opened his mouth
thrice in voiccless gasp. spread his arms
out and fell down t! It on his face. dug
his t"es into the turf, drlulmed on the
turf in agony witt, his cies,r!ed fists and
walled like !, storm of wrath. "Oh dad
essentially Take him OIL Somebody
take him off -"
When he got up he said seemed in
tercsttd in hedge trimmings and he
would teach me how tn do it myself !
said no, ! wouldn't fry to learn: |
would like to know low, but WAS too
awfully lazy.
