THERE are people who make poultry
pay largely and others who do not. Ex-
perience has taught that there is no
legitimate business which pays better,
but it must be conducted with care and
skill The lack of these is why nine
tenths Of our farmers do not make it a
success. A farmer who keeps strict
ledger account of all the returns and
expenditures from his poultry is an ex-
ception. Many keep no account at all.
Such are the ones who cry poultry
don't pay" Lack Of experience, pa
tience. system and understanding of the
amount of work connected with poultry
raising tell the reason Of their failure,

the Game.

written for The SUNDAY !tBEpENDENT.1
As q matter of course that section of the
public which takes particular interest IN
chess-chess players who are fond OF the
noble pastime-are actuated by sos1cshing
more than curiosity as to the result of the
contest between two great players. It is
rightly expected by them that the match
will introduce interesting novelties, con-
firming the soundness of some openings and
demonstrating the weakness of Others.
Az is well known, Steinitz for years past
has advocated theories which are nothing
short of denial of the tactics Of the past.
Briefly expressed his principal thesis Is that
there is defense to every attack, that the
attacking player exposes himself to great
dangers which threaten his position,
and that with proper play in most
cases he should be made to pay the
penalty of his aggressiveness. These
rem arks apply particularly to attack on the
kings side, and to rash attacks in the open
ines such as arc exemplified in the games
- the immortal Paul Morphy. He mostly
conquered his opponents by such aggressive
tactics as Steinitz condemns, and produced
gems Of imaginative strategy which will re-
main the admiration and delight OF chess
players for all time to come.
But. says Mr.. Steinitz, with proper I'M
Outstanding of the principles Of defence
with close reasoning, such success, in
attacks on the lines already indicated,
however ingeniously conceived, should be
impossible. Acting on these maxims,
Steinitz has for years VIGOROUSLY de6ed at
tacks both in the openings and in the
middle game relying on his own play,
and. if the expression may be permitted, by
which he builds up his position, gaining
imperceptibly, though surely, slight stra-
tegical advantages, which, by hard play, he
usually succeeds in converting into some
material gain. resulting in course of time
in victory.
As an instance may be mentioned his
bold play in the gambit bearing his name,
the ''Steinitz Gambit,'' where, in defiance
of recognized rules and adopted notions,
he boldly man9uvres his king into exposed
positions early in the game, to the surprise
and astonishment of theorists, who, how
ever, could not do more than demonstrate
draw as the result of Steinitz's bold and
novel line of play. So, in most openings,

When one Of the kings of France first
took to playing chess he was beaten in

accustomed to accepting victory or defeat
with that admirable equanimity which ID
induced by long practice at the game, he
seized the chess board and with It felled
his unlucky opponent to the ground. Here
We have an instance of unreetrained passion

Thomas Jefferson's favorite exercise was
riding. He was good judge of horses, and
always rode a fine one. One day during his
presidential term he was riding in the
neighborhood of Washington when he was
met by Jockey. The man did not know
the president but his professional eye was
caught in moment by the noble steed.
Coming mp with an impudent boldness, he
accosted the rider. and began talking about
the horse, his points, his age and his value,
and ended by offering to swap"

he has pursued the same principle. In po-
sitions of great difficulty and intricacy, and
even apparent hopelessness,. such as few
players would care to venture into and
most players would declare as lost, Steinitz
would in many instances prefer to assume
the defence instead of the attack, and, in
spite of the apparently insurmountable
difficulties with which he is 80 often beset,
he will succeed in extricating himself
whore perhaps no other living player could,
Asa proof of this there need only be
mentioned the two games which he is now
contesting by cable against Tschigorin of
st. Petersburg, which games originated in
consequence of Steinitz's opinion of
the prope: defence in the Evans
Gambit. and the two knights
accepted theory, and being pronounced as
too hazardous, if not absolutely bad. by
every expert on the theory of the game.
But Mr.. Steinitz believes in his own opin-
ion to the extent of $50, which is the sum
he has staked on the two games which are
mentioned above at which Mr.. Steinitz de-
siates from the accepted line of defence,
and which Tschigorin has undertaken to
prove bad.
The result up to the present, although the
games are not very far advanced yet, is
of his innovations. Steinitz's position in
both games il declared to be very critical
by the chess world at large. His king is
not IN safe quarters in either game. he is
exposed to very strong and pressing at
tack, and he seemingly has uery little use

carrying it to the point Of victory over his
opponent.
10 the non-chess playing public, who will
perhaps have difficulty in following the
foregoing remarks, no better illustration
can be given than by drawing familiar
in opposition to that e1emplided in chess
playing of the past which found its highest
expression in the play of Mophy. may be
compared with the sloW-sure, non-risky
strategies and mannuyers of Moitke as
opposed to the trilliancy and dash of a
Bonaparte. It will be therefore readily
understood with what interest the match
between Steinitz and myself. which will
put the new theory to severe test, is looked
forward to by the chess world.
The large section of the public who are
not chess players, but who take an interest
are not only attracted by any prominen:
events of the day, cannot but fail to ad-
mire the tenacity of purpose with which
two chess players engage i'll a contest ex-
