They have to divvy them up and then they go in coolers and I take them.

And then we'd divvy them up and- and then the job was to clean them.

“And we freeze them, and then we divvy them all out when they're frozen, and everyone has wonderful apple-pies.”

My wife wa-- helped run it. But the two girls still on it but they've kind-of retired now and- and the younger ones have taken over but- there's still a good do which is all next weekend and it's a good do for the community.

...it never affected me because there was never any money in our family for Christmas presents and-stuff-like-that anyway. And ah, as I got older, when my birthday ah was at Christmas ah, everybody ah you-know always made a big do- do out of it so

Those are homemade- not mine. My niece from Muskoka was up to v-- for the big do, for the party on Saturday.

How to be the drum major and so here- well, I'm not there- there's when we first started the band. One th-- that was a little do we went down to Minden. But ah, there's our very first parade.

Then she'd phone and ask me to come and do it but I said I never had ah- I never had anything to do with personal in their lives, you know, so- I knew Doctor-Fellows quite well because I doctored with his father when he was growing up as a kid.

And ah- so he became a doctor and ah- doctored here for a long time and then he moved up to Timmins and ah, he passed away not ah that long ago. But ah ah then war came along and a lot of the- the fellows that I knew, that's including couple of my- my good boyfriends.

Well there were all good times. Ah, dad worked at, ah, canoe- building canoes and he was just sort of a handy-man and he could apply himself to almost anything. He was- like farmers would call him if a cow was sick and- and he neutered dogs and- and when that was the way they did it and well he just doctored animals.

So if we 're sitting there watching some T-V, he 'd be like, "Stop dog-fucking. Do some work!" He uses that term like if you 're not doing anything and you 're just like shooting the shit but then yeah he 'll bother us all the time.

And boy did I see the biggest moose. By then I was dogging.

You pay me, I will give you everything I have. I will not dog. Ah, ah, I- I have no use for people that come to work to find a way

I get cold quick and, ah, so the last couple years- three years I hunted with them, I dogged, because you kept moving all the time

It was a machine and it was like a big wheel. Great big wheel. And, ah, that wheel went round and in order to make it run the dog was tied on it. And as the dog walked on it like this, it made the wheel go. And the wheel made the- the- the churn- the dash of the churn go so that they, ah- that's what they called it, the dog churn

Interviewer: What other animals did you have on the farm? What else, 'sides the sheep? Speaker: Well, they generally had a dog, and they had the first power machine that was, ah- I ever heard of was a dog churn.

But the- that was what the story used to be. Ah just- just like Dog Patch. And you know what? It was kind-of like Dog Patch. Everybody had a dog and a dog was running loose.

And Hornepayne was like Dog Patch. Ah, it was a pretty wild town.

I just remember doing um- doing down the peaches and stewing down the rhubarb and doing all that kind-of-stuff. Like my mother would have jars and jars of stuff. You didn't buy anything like that, you didn't buy canned vegetab-- or fruit and-everything-like-that. Everything was done down.
