The best time for planting should begin after June 1st and extend to July lath. This however depended largely on the season.

Dunbar Bell Ringer Attrac 'Is doubtful if any musical fen- i l ,T ture hns ever been presented to the American public which has won greater favor or obtained a wider following than that of musical bell ringing. The art was brought to America first in the ,J0s by the late I'. TfiWSurnum . While touring England he heard u group of a dozen church betl ringers practicing upon hand bells and in* conceived the idea of usring a large peal of bells anil playing more elaborate music. Those bells were made in Kngland as tlie world's best bells always have been, in the conformity with his unfailing originality as an advertiser, be dressed the nla.vers. both men ?iwi wonwn. in the costumes of Swiss pensnnts. and called tin? Company "'Tin.* Swiss Hull Ringers." For many yuan tliis company toureil the I'nitod Statu? in wattons before railroads were at all general. The art at that time was so successful that our grandfathers recall most vividly the visit of the Swiss I'.cll Ringers to their native towns. It seems that thereafter the art fell into disuse and it was not really perfected or revived in any worthy way until 1X'JS. when Ralph l.)unbar and his brother founded the famous Dunbar Hell Ringners at St. Joseph. Ma. These brothers went to Hnglaml anu had made under their personal supervision n peal of hells whieh was undoubtedly the most eomplete and most perfect set of bells ever cast. These hells were made under their own personal supervision by the same bellfounders that east the great hells of Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral in Lonfl6n. as weii as practically, all of the well known church bells of the world. The neul embraced more than five octavos chromatic unci through the mlddhyVegis' tHeiT--vrpre rrs- murty; crpft^lat?^heils of the same note. The vogue of the I i Dunbar Bell Ringers was the most I notable of any similar com pa ;y which has appeared on the American conF.XTKIITAIX.MKNT AT IlKl) KNOI.Ii In the drama "A Daughter of Thv Desert." which will be played at lied Knoll school house Saturday nistht.
