"How do you like baching it?" "Oh, don't mention it!" entreated Rob, mauling the dough again. "Come in an' sit down. Why in thunder y' standin' out there for?" "Oh, I'd rather be where I can see the prairie. Great weather!" "Im-mense!" "How goes breaking?" "Tip-top! A leette dry now; but the bulls pull the plow through two acres a day. How's things in Boomtown?" "Oh, same old grind."
I wish I could answer unequivocally "yes"; for I recall some beautiful episodes of boys and girls too immature to realize the importance of their work "baching" it in prairie shanties, teaching at forty dollars a month; amid the isolation of Doukhobor and Galician and Ruthenian settlement preserving Canada's national ideals for the future; little classes of foreigners in the schools of North Winnipeg reading lessons in perfect English with flower gardens below the window kept by themselves the little girls learning sewing and housekeeping in upper rooms, the boys learning technical trades in the basement.
We've been reading those. Say, I bet I know everything that's for sale in the United States. I'm the most price-listed rider in the Rockies." "I'll be getting down to see Marion to-night or to-morrow," said Judith. "O, you needn't bother," returned Jimmy. "It's a long trip, and she'll be all right." "So you and Little Marion have been baching it!" mused Douglas.
"That's just what'll block the game, I'm afraid. I don't want to, either. None of the boys'll want to. It'll mean going up there and baching, six or seven months of the year, by our high lonesomes. We'll have to fulfill the requirements, if we start in because them pilgrims'll be standing around like dogs at a picnic, waiting for something to drop so they can grab it and run.

Tried the 'gold-cure' then broke out again" he lowered his voice at the huge, bear-like back of the sergeant "all same him. I don't know somehow it always seems to leave em' cranky an' queer that. Neither of 'em married either 'baching it, living alone, year after year, and all that, too."
From the day Nellie left, Martin managed alone in the shack, "baching it," and putting his whole heart and soul into the development of his quarter-section.
I've lived in Montana fourteen years, an' I never slipped up on my own doorstep till you got here. It takes a woman t' leave things around where's my cake ?" "Old Specie took it down by the bunk house. Shall I go after it?" "No, you needn't. Doggone it, this wading through ponds uh soft soap has got t' stop right here. I never had t' do it when I was baching, I notice."
The thought came to her, as naughty thoughts will come, even to the best of persons, that some handsome young men might be "baching" it out there by themselves, and Bart didn't wish her to make their acquaintance.
We found him while we were hunting for that devilish old mule." Peter looked keenly at the two haggard young faces, then he said, "You two come in and eat and get warm. I'll do some telephoning." "I want to get home to my mother," half sobbed Judith. "Sha'n't we take him on to his house?" asked Douglas. Peter replied impatiently, "You know he was baching it alone while young Jeff's in California.
Take-Notice it was who whittled shavings and started the fire without any comment upon the hour or his appetite; who went to the spring and brought water, half-filled the enameled teakettle which had large, bare patches where the enamel had been chipped off in the stress of baching, and sliced the bacon and mixed the "sour-dough" biscuits.
