and Northwood high school until he was
fourteen, at which age he entered the
preparatory department of Luther col
iege. Decorah, Iowa. He took the regu
lar classical course of the college, and
graduated in 1884 with the degree of B.
A. He also graduated from Concordia
seminary, St. Louis, in 1887, and has had
normal training in the Indiana normal.
During his vacation he taught school or
worked on the farm. After his gradua-
ton from Concordia seminary he re-
turned to Luther college as professor of
German and ancient history, and re-
ceived the degree of M. A. from the col
lege il 1885. In 1889 he came to North
Dakota and established the Brut1at Acad-
amy and Business college at Portland,
Traill county, which under his principle
ship was marked success, having as
high at times as one hundr( d aud twen-
ty.five students in attendance. In 1892
he was elected county superintendent OF
schools of Traill county, and reelected
in 1894 without opposition. As county
superintendent he has been eminently
successful, and as result the schools of
Traill county stand second to none in
the state. He has display ed much execu-
tive ability in the organizing and holding
of reading circles and county associations
during his term of office.
Although Traill county has of late
wears been fortunate and careful in the
choice of guardian of her schools, it is
generally conceded that under no other
Superintendent have the schools of that
county made more progress. Mr. Hal

Mr.. Nichols record as county treasurer
of Cass county unquestionably gained
him the nomination and election as state
treasurer two years ago, and the brilliant
record he has made in connection with

then Territory of Dakota, in the spring

been engaged in the agricultural imple-

He is a thorough business man and
pives his personal attention to every de.

because it has been properly managed.
He has never been candidate for, or

he has always been an ardent supporter

Mother sows require more than
twice as much food as the other hogs
when the pigs are three weeks old,
and, if they do not have it, both the
sows and the pigs will suffer. While
there must be caution ut first, the
rule is to feed the brood sows liber-
ally.
Many may think it but business,
but cleanliness in feeding will in
crease the use of our pork and pork
products in both our home and for
eign markets where quality counts
against mere quantity of fat and
mud favored meat. Neither does it
take an epicure to detect the differ
ence.
