the luxury Of speaking out their real sentiments
frankly admit their astonishmen at the pa
Hence of the South. While Southern submis-

given them to back out after busterinc, North
ern men cannot refrain from applauding their
philosophical equanimty under wrongs and in
suits as unparalleled as they are unprovoked.

Kloss White Blue Stan Wheat

We have received another communica-
ron from "Querist," partly in answer to
Br. Drew's communication in the Farmer
of April oath, and partly in answer to an
editorial article of his in the last Banner.
The "Querist" abounds in the coustic and
sarca.t;ic, and we think on the whole, had
better be laid aside. The principal "bone
of contention" socms to be the assertion of
Br. Drew's, that he Originally introduced
it (the Banner Wheat from the Baltic
Sea, in Europe"
The subject, VIC think, is now pretty
we'll understood, or at any rate may be
we'll understood by reference to proper au-
thoritics; and on this point we would re-
fer Br. Drew, who according to his state
mcnt finds nothing of it in the Reports Of
the Patent Office, and thinks the term
"Whitc Kloss Blue Stem" is s'unintelligi-
ble," to the Translations of the New York
Society, for lS43. He will there find a
report from Gen. Harmon; of Wheatland,
Monroe county, n. Y, wherein he relates
the results Of his experiments in the cult
ure of some twelve or fourteen varieties of
wheat. He will there find it stated that
the White Blue Stem wheat had been cul.
tivatcd in Virginia for thirty three
years previous TO that period. 1t is
more than probable that Chlis.i,n Klos.
was cultivating this variety when he
discovered and secured tho variety now in
question, and which to distinguish it from
the old variety, was called kloss White
Blue Stem Wheat, which certainly is ,
very ineligible name, as every word ex
presses some circumstance of its character
istics and origin, while "Banner wheat,
IN its brevity, expresses neither and We
much doubt if Dr. Lee were to write ,
treatise on the different varieties of wheat
he would call i. Banner mheot instead. Tht
common name "kloss wheat" is ever
shorter than the name Br Drew has appli
ed to it. As we said iu former number
we have no objection to this name as al
innocent qualification to him but the mul
tiplidation of names leads to confusion, ,ant
as an instance of this we will state tha
We have heretofore been applied to by peo
pie in the Middle and Western States fo
description of the Banner wheat, when i
turned out they were cultivating the sci

To MAKE WATER CoLD.-The follow.
ing is simple mode of rendering water
almost as cold as ice: Let the jar, pitcher,
or vessel used for water, be surrounded
with one or more folds of coarse cotton, to
be constantly wet. The evaporation Of
the water will carry off the heat from the
inside, and reduce it to a freezing point.
In India and other tropical regions where
ice can not be procured, this is common.
