The Sutherland Evictions.

There has just died at Kirtomey, on
the northeast coast Of Sutherland, Mrs.
Betsy Mackay, at the age of 1O2. She
was native of Strathnaver, and was "a
grown up woman when that fertile ana
once populous strath-about Is miles
long-was ruthlessly cleared of its in
habitants in the second decade of this
century. She had vivid recollection
and many stories to tell of the harrow
ing scenes witnessed when old and
young, weak and strong, were turned
out of their homes. The people got half
an hours notice to pack up their be-
longings before the torch was applied
to the thatch of their dwellings. The
burning lasted six days, and from one
eminence over 900 blazing cottages could
be counted! A very different state of
things, it is pleasing to record, prevails
ON the Sutherland property nowadays.

Prof. Henry, Dean Of the Aorieul

GfOI. Henry, Dean OF the AgrlcuI
! tural College of the State University
has made careful study of Northern
Wisconsin and has the following tC
say in regard to its possibilities as a
cheese producing district:
/ The writer makes the prediction
that some day Northern Wisconsin
Will rank as the foremost cheese dis
/ tl'lct in America, if not in the world
I No one who has carefully studied the
subject and observed what has taken
1 place in other countries. and what is
occurring In IL small way at present in
our new north. will seriously deny this
assertion. The fine cheese districts OF
Europe and America are not in the
warm reg ious. but rather in those
where the nights are cool. the waters
pure and cold, and the grasses possess
high nutritious value. Such regions
as those are found in the mountains of
Switzerland and the cheese dis tlicts OF
Canada anti Northern New York and
our lakeshore counties like Sheboygan
}and Manitowoc. also Fond du Lac.
Outaoamic, etc. While southern
Minnesota and Wisconsin and north
ern Illinois and Iowa will remain the
great cen'ers Of butter production for
this country, these districts cannot
hope to compete with northern Wis
consin in the quality OF the cheese
which may be produced there, for the
! reason that in this great butter region
CT which the CONS must drink be-
comes quite warm: these conditions
shut this region out forever from en-
tering into serious competition with
our new north in the manufacture of
cheese Of the highest grade. 1t is noJ
| asserted at this point that good cheese
can not be made in southern Wisconsin
and even in Illinois: it is affirmed with
emphasis that northern Wisconsin can
and will some day produce enormous
amounts OF cheese. which for quality
can not be equaled by that made fur
Their south. The most nutritious OF
grasses the coolest of waters and the
Incorporate sun OF summer are all nee
es2rv for the production of milk
Which shall go to make cheese carry
ing the purest lavors, and northern
Wisconsin has all of these in marked
degree This adaptation to the pro
ductionIof fine cheese is u haritage to
this region from which it can never be
parted It is as valuable to Oui. new
north as are the gold mines to Colora-
do or the coal beds to Pennsylvania,
and swhen northern WISCONSIN shall
have been occupied by an intelligent
people and it's cheese industry proper

lars flow into this section each year

products.
