At Pisa in Tuscany was a very old
palace which had belonged to the
Dukes Of Villaciosa. Held for long
years in the family, it was finally
bought on the death of Giulio, the last
Of the line, by man named Galem-
berti, who made the palace, with it's
famous carvings by Benvenuto Gel
lini, and mosaics designed by Raphael
and Titan, into a fashionable hotel
for those who were willing to pay high
prices for the privilege of living amid
these splendors of art.
Eyes, yes. My boy will be rich
very rich, some day." Galemberti used
to say, and taking in his arms his

| his fathers. Thefeupon he had made
his way to Tuscany.
Now he would rescue the palace OF
the Villaciosas, he thought. He would
proclaim his name-a name known to
all Italy. But who would believe him ?
This resuscitated man-who would
know or recognize him?
When the clock struck for dinner
the grand dining hall was crowded
with guests. Galemberti multiplied
himself, red and rad:..nt among the
attendants.
Suddenly a door opened slowly and
in the doorway appeared the stranger.
1t was the moment when Giulo, Duke
of Villaciosa, was to claim his own.
With salute of one accustomed to
rank and power he presented himself
to the guests. Every eye was turned
on him.
"Gentlemen,s he said, Il am Happy
on my return to Italy to feast with
my friends in the house of my ances-
tors"
Seine one cried: But who ara
you?"
Il am Giulio, Duke Of Villaciosa--''
HE is an impostor. Giulio died at
Navarino," snarled Galemberti.

wounded at Navarino, and has this
day returned to his home"
An old gentleman, the Count Bar

men,"
All followed, Galemberti trembling
in the rear with little Beppo.
The great staircase resounded un.
der the many feet and the door of the
chamber of the Dukes of Villaciosa
was opened. The picture of the Ma
donna seemed suddenly to grow ra-
diant.
With tranquil assurance the strang-
er stood before the picture and
seemed lost in contemplation
Galemberti was triumphant 'FHe is
q madman-"
But the "madman," after having ex-
amined the gold frame, pressed upon
a certain point near the lower corner.
A panel slid back and there was seen
small treasure box. "See," said the
Duke, "all the wealth of Villaciosa
left in safety"
Then was confusion; all present Of

wishes, while Galemberti, profting by
the noise, took Beppo's little hand and

Geese,

Tie last census reported 100000
geese in the country, and about forty
times as many chickens. This shows
the relative Importance of the goose
raising industry to that of the chicken
raising industry. 1t is, doubtless, true
that it would pay our farmers to raise
more geese than they do. Goose
raising has not largely passed into the
hands of specialists, as has the indus
try of raising ducks. The goose re-
quires a great deal of room to do
we'll, and for that reason the farmer
has the advantage over the specialist.
Most of the geese in the country are
raised on farms, but generally in
small hocks. They use large amount
of pasture and this is one thing in
their favor, as fields of clover and
alfalfa can be turned into goose meat
at little cost. The goose feeds very
largely on grass, but needs water to
swim in to do the best.
The fact that the goose does not
lay large number Of eggs, and that
it requires a good deal of room, have
conspired to render the goose popular
with American farmers. In spite of
this, however, the statistics show that
there are more geese in the country
than ducks. The goose could be used
much more advantageously on some
farms than any other domestic bird.
There are on a good many farms
marshy fields that are too wet for
cattle or other farm stock that would
make acceptable pasturage for geese.
Some Of these fields could not be
drained without great expense and
some of them lie so low that it is
doubtful if drainage would ever be
effective. This is just the place for
a goose run, the frequent pools of
water giving them the places neces-
sary for swimming and hunting.
Geese raisers declare that geese do
not thrive so we'll in large focks as do
ducks. The why" is not explained.
There may be no "why" except lack
Of care and crowding in too close quar-
ters. 1t is probable that it is due to
decreased opportunity to find food, es-
pecially where the birds have to hunt
much of it themselves. The larger
the flock the greater>in proportion will

Temperature Of Sitting Hens.

- temperature Of Sitting Hens.
A close observer of poultry says
that hens differ greatly as to the tenn
perature of their bodies at brooding
tlme. Some hens have high tenn
perature, and such are good produc-
ers OF chicks; as the heat is very
necessary for the work of developing
ene chicks. A hen with a high tenn
perature will leave her nest for a con-
SIDERABLE time each day, and still the
results of her brooding be of the best.
mere are other hens that have low
temperature and are very poor pro-
ducers of chicks, whether they stick
TO the nest all the time or not. We
nave not made a study of this mat
ter and do not know how much truth
there is in the opinions of the So
called close observer. Testing a num-
Der OF hens by means of reliable
thermometer should shed some light
on the problem.

The Cheese Situation.

According to reports from various
parts of the country, the condition
Of the pastures thus far this summer
has been such as to favor the max
ing of cheese. The best quality was
however made in the early part of
the season, the quality of the milk
deteriorating as the weather became
warmer and the pastures shorter.
The cheese that was stored was large
ly of the early-made kind. Most of
that being made in the middle of the
summer is shipped directly to market,
as there is no demand for it for stor-
age. The market is said to be slug
gish and almost no cheese is being
purchased to send abroad.

braced him. "Beppo Galemberti," said
he, "you will be a great lord.'
But Beppo only said, 1--WE will go
to the mountains, far away from the
cities; and We will drink milk and
live on the farm in the pure air.
The incident here related occurred
on a gala day. All the great people of
the neighborhood came to Pisa one
day Of the year to visit their friends IN
the town and every room in the house
was spoken for.
Galemberti hurried here and there,
while Beppo, to avoid the noise, took
refuge in window, where, lookirs <
out, he could see the other boys at
play in the street below Suddenly
among group of strangers he saw
man gazing fxedly at the facade
of the hotel. His countenance was
marked by sadness and dignity.

who had read devouringly the novels
of Dumas.
All at once Beppo saw him enter
the courtyard of the hotel. Quitting
his place at the window he hurried
to the yestibule just in time to hear
the stranger speak with sharp, clear
voice to a servant.
Il wish to speak to thy MASTER, he
said.
Il will call my MASTER" the servant
answered, and Galemberti soon an
peared with a look which Beppo called
"the expression of a bad day."
what do you wish here?" demand
ed Galemberti.
The stranger raised his head and
replied.
II wish a room-your best one.">
Galemberti made no answer.
II wish your bedchamber, the one
where hangs the picture by Raphael"
Galemberti could only answer: "You
know it, then.'
''Take me there at once"
The little hand of Beppo slid into
that of his father, and he said:
"Please papa, go with him."
The stranger glanced sadly at the
child while Galemberti answered.:
"But all my rooms are engaged by
club which may arrive any time
now"
well, tell them / have the room
here. I pay in advance
"Ah, well. He gets the room who
pays Come, little one"
Galemberti struck an attitude of de-
spair as the stranger installed himself
in the room. '"The devil is in that
man. Under his rags he acts as if he
were king" and strange feeling Of
anxiety seized him.
The apprehensions Of Galemberti
were we'll founded, for it was a real

The color of the chick at time Of
birth does not indicate the color of
the mature fowl that is to grow out
OF it. This leads the amateur to con-
clude that certain chicks from eggs
that he purchased as from pure breeds
must have been wrong. The amateur
will have to wait till the chicks have
matured before he can be certain of
the variety they are. A chick entirely
black is not common, and the chicks
OF black breeds are generally canary
colored on the under part. The colors

require much attention, and Il that
should make them popular with the
American farmer, who has more area
than available labor. After the gos.
l1ngs are week old they show de-
cided determination to take care of
themselves, if good range is given.
Perhaps this characteristic has been
taken too much advantage of by some
OF our farmers, and accounts for the
lack of success with geese in some
instances.
The geese OF the country comprise
good many mongrels, the parents of
which were imported so long ago that
their breed names have been lost.
The most profitable breeds are those
that have been introduced in compar-
atively recent years, such as the Tou-
louise, Embden, Chinese, African and
Egyptian. Canada or Wild Geese are
being raised to some extent. The
farmer that goes into goose raising
will find it will pay him better to
grow the distinct breeds than to raise
geese of no known breeding.
