"A correspond ent writing to the
Ohio Farmer of the late Dairy fair at
Milwaukee, has the following:
The west has three distinct methods
of dairying, which are each extensively
practiced-the whole milk plan of
cheese making; the factory creamery,
which makes butter and utilizes the
akim milk for soft, white cheese; aud
the cream gathering system, that takes
the cream and leaves the skim milk at
home for the pigs and calves. Eacn Of
these systems were on "deck," and to
the best of their ability the friends of
each defended their different ways.
The price OF butter even "out west"
say SO to SO cents per pound, hiss had
the effect of stimulating butter produc-
ton, and that section seems alive to its
manufacture To talk with the exhibit
tors one would think that the west was
all going into the creamery business in
the spring, The idea has been that the
cream. gathering system WIS r. pioneer
method TO introduce dsirying, and
when the latter was established the
factory system would crowd it out be-
cause butter and cheese were more
profitable But this idea is losing
ground, for the high price Of beef and
pork makes the skim milk more valu-
able as food for stock than for cheese.
The transportation problem also comes
in out there; to convert the cream into
butter and the balance of the milk into
pork, condenscs it to point that re-
duces the cost Of getting this milk to
market to the lowest point and puts
the cheese question at once TO rest.

The Tabor Scandal.

Denver Special to the Chicago Times:
Lieut.. Gov. II. A. w. Tabor no longer
denies the fact that he was granted
decree of divorce from Mrs. Tabor in
the district court of La Plata county
last March. The complaint contained,
among other serious charg es, the one
OF adultery. Ii is claimed that sum-
mons was duly served on Mrs. Tabor,
but that she failed to answer or contest
the prayer for divorce. She, as well as
her attorneys, declares that the divorce
was secured through fraudulent means.
She said that she never heard of the
suit until after the decree was granted.
When the governor had her informed
OF the action OF the court, she insisted
that she was not divorced wife, and
Immediately instituted the action now
pending in the ArapahOe county court
wherein she prays for judgement of
maintenance and seaport. The gov
ernor did not attempt 10 deny that she
was still his wife, but filed demurrer
to the question al law in the complaint
namely, the suing for maintenance
without an accompanying action for d.
vorce. rs the case now stands, it looks
decidedly muddled. Mrs. Tabor says
she will fight the La Plata county de-
cree on the ground of fraud. The gov
ernor on the other hand, will not say
anything about the complaint on which
the decree was granted, on the ground
that he does not desire the character
ofhis former wife blasted by newspa-
pers. Tabor will have to file his an
swer on the maintenance complaint
within a few days, when doubtless he
will declare his divorce.

Human Sacrifices in Greece.

The tourist among the temples would
find that, en- where human sacrifices
were disused, they had once been
| customary, and ceremonies existed by
way OF cOmmutatiOn. This is precisely
what we find in Vedic religion, in which
the empty form of sacrificing q man was
gone through, and tie origin of the
world was traced to fragments of a god
sacrificed by gods In Sparta was an
altar of Artemis Orthia and wooden
image of great rudeness and antiquity
so rude, indeed, that Pausanius, though
accustomed to Greek fetish stones,
tho ght it must lie of barbaric origin.
The story was that certain people Of
different towns, when sacrificing at the
altar, were seiz with frenzy and slew
each other. The oracle commanded that
the altar should b. sprinkl.d With
human blood. Men were there
fore chosen by lot to be sacri-
fic d, till Lycurgus commuted the
offering, and sprinkled the altar with
the blood OF boys who were logged
before the goddess The priestess
holds the statue of the goddess dur no
the logging, and if any of the boys are
but lightly scourged the image becomes
Loo heavy for her to bear. These rites

time of Pausanias, and perhaps we may
some day find the rude figure of the
goddess. which was held upright by

tre was a temple OF Artemis, called
1.-The Implacable." and to her it had
been customary to sacrifice yearly
youth and maiden of transcendent
beauty. In Pansanias s time the human
sacrifice was commuted He himself
beheld the strange spectacle of liv hg
beasts and birds being driven into the
fire to A tennis, and he ha seen bears
refuse t. face the fire and rush back
among the ministrants. But there was no
record that any one had ever been hurt
by the wild beasts on these sacred Occa-
IONS. The bear was a least closely
connected with Artemis, and there is
even reason to suppose that the goddess
had herself been she-bear in the nom
ing of time. There is 90 d deal of
mystic speculation about the idea Of
motherhood as mbolizCd in the she
bear in BachOfen's Der Bder in dcpl r.

savage religions, beasts were the first
gods of which we find a trace, and as
they slowly develop in nanthropOmorphic
beings, it seems simpler TO regard the
bears Of ATtemis as rviva's of period
of barbarous thought Among the
Tbespians, Zeus at one time demanded
that human sacri ces should be offered
