Any word of praise from Clay made the world a sunshiny one for him. "This here place ain't Arizona, but o' course we got to make the best of it. You know I can cook when I got the fixin's," he agreed. The two men were batching it. They had a little apartment in the Bronx and Johnnie looked after it for his friend.
He was off somewhere helping to dig a well. The house I thought very comfortable for two men who were 'batching. Besides the kitchen, there was a living-room, with a wide double bed built against the wall, properly made up with blue gingham sheets and pillows. There was a little storeroom, too, with a window, where they kept guns and saddles and tools, and old coats and boots.
"Last Friday when I took the bacon and oatmeal over to Soapy and Francois and Whinstane Sandy," I told him. "And what did you think of that shack?" "It impressed me as being sadly in need of soap and water," I calmly admitted. "It's like any other shack where two or three men have been batching no better and no worse than the wickiup I came to here on my honeymoon."
I recommend God as a physician. At the time I was healed of my other bodily afflictions, I was also relieved of stammering. It is true I stammer some yet, at times, but not nearly so much as I did formerly; and not enough to prevent my preaching the Word. At the time of my healing, Marion, one of my unsaved brothers, was batching near the old home place.
A list of the bales for the batch is sent to the batching department, this list being known as a "batch-ticket."
"Are you game to come with me this afternoon and inspect 'Magnetic Villa' and the 'refined family circle'?" "Yes. And, by Jove! if you take up your quarters there, I will do so as well. We could try it, anyway. I'm batching with Battray, the police inspector, and three other fellows. It was only going to cost us £3 a week each; it costs us more like £6."
While the jute as assorted and baled for export from India is graded in such a way that it may be used for certain classes of yarn without any further selection or treatment, it may be possible to utilize the material to better advantage by a judicious selection and treatment after it has undergone the operation of batching.
Never in all his life had he labored as he did then, for four years of "batching" will make a bear's nest out of the most orderly house, but he was jealous of his task and he refused to share it with other hands.
However skilfully the work of mixing the stricks is performed in the batching department, the degree of uniformity leaves something to be desired; further improvement is still desirable and indeed necessary. It need hardly be said, however, that the extent of the improvement, and the general final result, are influenced greatly by the care which is exercised in the preliminary processes.
It seems to begin to remind me of yarns your grandmother or aunt tells of things that happened when she was a girl but those yarns are true. You won't have to listen long now; I'm well on into the second volume. "After the storm I hurried home to the tent I was batching with a carpenter.
