  1. An amount held in a hedge.
    — One thrush or robin may mutilate a hundred bunches of grapes in a day, with one or two pecks at a bunch, and Nature “does the rest.” Count the robins by flocks and the thrushes by hedgefuls, and what one knows all soon know, and they go to the place where food is plentiful—the result can be easily computed.
