Returning to British Columbia alone in 1911, Hoy worked as a farmhand and cook near Quesnel. |
A farmhand with some veterinary knowledge was asked to come and take the blood. |
He had always worked as a farmhand, and had acquired but little in the way of an education. |
It was ugly, cantankerous, simple enough for any farmhand to understand and fix, and indomitable. |
The farmhand had filled his box and disappeared around the corner of the house. |
He also became concerned about spreading the disease when he visited farms as a freelance farmhand. |
