Memories of My Father John Duncan by his oldest son Jim.

In his earlier days on his parents farm, he helped with various chores and farm work. During the winters as he reached his late teens he went to the bush to haul logs with a team of horses. He commented about a spring when returning home there was a track on the snow over the ice on the river; the track on the snow started to rot in the spring thaw and one of the horses broke through the ice and was nearly lost. I failed to pay the attention I should have of his earlier days.
He arrived in Regina in 1890 and here filed on a homestead. Farming at that time on the Regina plains was about as primitive as the early days in Ontario except the land was very flat, few trees or stones to clear. As other Homesteaders of that time he broke his land with a hand plough, which was single share controlled by two curved handles at the back for the operator to gage the depth he wanted. The plough was hauled by horses, the reins secured around his waist so his hands were free to guide the plough. Two acres a day was a good days work; homesteaders often hired out to do breaking for others pay ranging from five to ten cents an acre.
In later years I always admired his adapt way of handling and binding the loose stalks of grain. The grain having been cut with a sythe and bound together to make a sheaf. This was before binders and threshing mills. Father talked of threshing grain in the winter, the engine from which they got the power and the separator having to be hauled by horses. Our house was small but it had a big kitchen, large enough to feed a threshing crew of twenty men. The farmers had a "Beef Ring" each farmer provided a beef animal in rotation and in rotation they accepted their turn at each cut of beef. The butcher was another farmer who got a free ride in that he didn't have to provide a beef.
In February of 1912 our mother died and my father's sister came and looked after us for some years. For the first twenty-one years of my life father saw a great deal of me and I of him, seemed to me that my father and all his brothers were mild mannered men who were able to accept their setbacks and proceed as though nothing much had happened to dampen their optimism.
Johnston my brother who had remained on the farm with our father took over the farm when father retired.
