the July “Corner.” This was the puzzle: X W, and 
this is the solution: “Write often; or W right of X. 
We do not know as this rebus was an uncommonly 
hard one, but think such must have been the case, 
as we did not receive an answer to the same. 
Should “Lackawanna Lad” succeed in collecting 
a million soiled postage stamps we cannot conceive 
any use he could make of them. Were he able to 
get a hundred a day, that would give him but 36,600 
a year, and at the end of twenty-seven years he 
would have about 985,500. A million is a much 
larger sum than many seem to consider it.— H. M. E., 
If you are unable to solve all the puzzles, always 
send your results such as they are. We are pleased 
to receive the few answers with the many, for they 
prove to us how much interest is taken in the Gar- 
nerings and you will see your name among the G&r- 
nerers. Young Harvester: Your teacher is right. 
Keep your hat off in the house, especiaily in the 
presence of your mother; for it is a mark of gross 
disrespect to her not to do so. Parents and teachers 
should inculcate this matter among the their first 
lessons. Politeness costs nothing, yet is “worth its 
weight in gold.”— E. N. E.: What do you think of 
the answer to Sally’s rebus? How easy these puz¬ 
zles appear when we know their solutions .—Kittle 
Clover: The Garnerings first appeared in the mag¬ 
azine for August, 1883; consequently, they cele¬ 
brated their birthday last month. As they have 
grown older, we trust they have become interesting 
and that they may live to celebrate many more an¬ 
niversaries of their birth. You can now see what 
Sally meant. Very good advice she offered and we 
hope our readers will take the hint and X W.— 
Mufti: You have been one of the long and faithful 
workers in puzzledom. Could you not, for the sake 
of “good old times,” send us a few Garnerings? 
Anything you compose would find a welcome, for 
we have seen many of your fine productions in friend 
Rutliven’s departments.— Lamps: A budget of your 
puzzles would make us feel happy, for those you 
have favored us with showed you to be an adept in 
the art.— O. Mission thinks “Seed-Time and Har¬ 
vest an awful jolly little magazine, and the story in 
July number the funniest kind of fun”. We tbink 
so, too, for how can we help it?— Garnerers: If the 
“Corner” does not seem as full as usual it must be 
because we had few missives in July—although 
answers came in fast—possibly because many were 
away, and vacation, visiting and hot weather are 
not conducive to letter-writing. Now that the days 
are growing cooler and the evenings longer, the 
wanderers returning to the old familiar places, and 
people will “stay put” we shall hope our friends will 
send long letters and report every month.

How to Grow Celery. 
We have heard a good story of a success¬ 
ful market gardner who when asked how 
to grow a certain crop replied, “Make your 
ground very rich, and keep out the weeds, 
any crop will succeed then.'” Mr. W. D. Phil- 
brick recognizes the wisdom which is em¬ 
bodied in this brief essay and expands it as 
follows in the N. K. Farmer : 
“I don’t know any good reason why good 
celery cannot be grown near Worcester as 
well as anywhere else, except that farmers 
up there are reputed to be afraid of using too 
much manure, and celery is not a bit afraid 
of any such thing. One of my old friends 
in Northboro raises good celery, and carts 
it twelve miles to Worcester market, but he 
was “raised” near Boston, and is not afraid 
of manure. You cannot grow good celery 
on poor land, nor can you work enough 
manure into good land in one year to put it 
in order for celery; but if you will take a 
piece of good rich clay loam, and plough 
under this fall ten or fifteen cords per acre 
of horse manure, and then plough under 
ten cords per acre of fine compost next 
spring, you can raise celery near Worcester, 
or any other city that will pay for it; but 
even after such a heavy dressing the celery 
will not be so good the first year as after 
several years cropping on the same land; 
the land needs to be very rich, and the 
banking of celery makes the land better than 
any other preparation for the next year’s 
crop.”
