He replied that there were three others with him. He mentioned Hummel and Wise, and I said I did not know tbem. He then offered to bring them up. I saw them, but I only knew wise from boyhood I knew him. 1 then agreed, and tbey insured Raber. I said it was a hard thing to kill Raber. He said they could make money. When they agAln met Blank said there were five interested. Hummel also spoke about it. Wise came and asked whether I was to kill Raber. I told him I was not certain. He urged me to so ahead, and said tbey would shoot me if I did not. I promised, but I never Intended to do it, as the Insurance had all been affected. Brandt afterward said tbey had the plan ready,if I did not kill him tbey would shoot me. and to save mv life I promised. A week or two afterward Wise said I should not do it so far as he was concerned, as he said he did not like the lob. 1 think it was the same day he Bald I had to kill Raber. I then asked Frank Stickler to do it, because I could not. Stickler said he did not care. He could kill any one, but he Dargainea l snouia goaiODg, wnicn i promisee, but declared I would not touch Raber.

I went over a plank, and when Raber got on it HticKier got rtaoer ry tne legs anu tnrew mm in and Jumped on top of him. Raber fell below the plank. I think I then went back to the fence. It was first Intended to drown Raber in the dam. Brandt had planned that Raber was to go fishing at ivitzmiuer, to eaten nsn ior mans: ana wue, and then I was to drown him. We went, and Peters went with us. When I saw the dam I could not do it. and said I would return, when Raber replied, "Yes, it was too cold anyhow." 1 pitied him drowning at the plank afterwardf it was also a plan of Brandt's. Brandt had promised me $300, and that the others should get the same. He - prom ised wiODier Homing. - i lima tried to coax Elijah Strtckier, but he would not go with us. I said to Frank I wonld give htm (300 after 1 was paid. When it was done they tried to swindle me out of all and kill me. This was planned behind a shed at Brandt's. This they told me in jail. When they asked me to go via Rankstown I thought tbey wanted to Kill me tnen. Brandt always urged me in Jail to keep quiet abnut this matter, as they hoped to get clear. I didn't see the oonsplrat is so very often about matters. I engaged Frank Stlchler to do the job after the Kltzmlller plan failed. I didn't go into the water. After the drowning Stickler walked to my house, and went to Brandt. 1 dldnt see the old man s struggles. The plank was made wet by tbe splash when Raber fell. Brandt had Raber insured in another company to kill him, bnt tbe com Dan v failed and with it tbe plan. Brandt told me what to say before the coroner's Inquest. It was part of tbe general plan. Brandt often ureed me, while in jail, not to confess. He called at mv cell to-day for that purpose. I am afraid of him, but not of tbe others.

Merchants and manufacturers who bare made money and become wealthy have done so by having something good to sell and by continuing to sell such articles as will give satisfaction. Farmers can make money by adopting the same rale of always having; something good to sell and by selling ancia things aa will please tbe purchaser. The same necessity exists that a farmer should understand his business as that a merchant should understand his. and there is very little chance for a farmer to make money who has to employ others to buy and sell (or him and who has, all tbe time, to be asking advice of neighbors. How wonld it look for a manufacturer to be obliged to find oat throngh others what to make, or for a merchant to seek counsel of other merchants. A genuinely clever, business-like merchant ascertains what suits his customers, and procures those styles of goods; and to it is with a money-making farmer he studies the state of tbe market and finds what kind of animals sella for tbe most money, when everything has been reckoned np and the cost of feed and attendance has been deducted; and as some kinds of farming stock: require but little attendance, and yet tell at a high figure, that is the sort any shrewd, wide-awake farmer will breed. Now. a merchant or storekeeper should always deal In such goods as will not be left on his hand as so much dead stock. There are, however, some who every year have t-uch a quantity unsold tbat at last things have to be marked down to such a low figure that the loss incurred on them Is serious; and if read era of this will mentally cast their eyes around, they will readily see men who, in agriculture, are making the same mistake, for they have on their farms every year some kind of stock which can not be sold at a price high enough to pay for the cost of producing it. Like tbe store keeper who has gained by a portion of his stock and lost all the profits on account of his unsalable wares, so these farmers, by keeping on hand Inferior animals, which have to be sold at a loss, loss far more than was gained by the best sale. Good judgment is lacking in such cases, not only in buying and keeping second and third-rate stock, but in tbe management of it. NothiDg can bs niore,absurd than for a man to bay np or breed a low-priced set of animals, and think bees use they are in his hands they will be worth more than in another man's. It is perfectly ridiculous for any man to suppose bis name alone will be sufficient to enhance the worth of what he has to sell; for his name, or any one's, is of no use till be has distinguished himself by proving his judgment in possessing choice animals. In all cases where man or woman makes money, a uniformly good system is adhered to; for there never was any money made, and never will be, by any one who is all the while changing his stock, and having first one and then another man in charge of different parts of his business. Agriculture requires system, and it will not do to be hot one day and cold another about anything. To use a common, homely expression, farming can not succeed when there is any "fooling" about it. There must be a good system decided on, and then "stack to," nnder all common circumstances, to secure success In farming as well as in aU other kinds of business. Going Back to Farms. Just after the war, when iufl tied prices painted pictures of fortunes in all kinds ot city and town vocations when banking, insurance and tbe agency business were sapposed to yield wealth almost without limit, and when it was believed tbat fortunes could bs made by merely organizing some sort of stock company and potting tbe shares on the market, there was a general fltcking of young men from farms to cities and towns to get rich without labor. But that delusion has ended in bitterness and disappointment to thousands all over the land, and proved that the game of living by the wits it one that Very few can thrive at. We are beginning to real za that funning poesesseeone pre-eminent ' merit it will yield a living, if nothing more, and that is more than can be said of many city pursuits. It is generally esteemed a plodding, on romantic business; bat this is offset by its exemption from the harassmenta and tragic features that too often mark the painful and exhausting struggle for the maintenance of credit and social position in city life. It requires bat a small capital to go to farming- This offers a simple solution to the livelihood problem to all who are willing to work, and it is gratifying to find that the tact is beginning to be realized by many weary ot proisnged Idleness, indues.
