38 THE RURAL VOICE
It's often been said: "The more things change, the more they stay the same."
But farm life has certainly undergone dramatic and irreversible changes.
Writer Wayne Kelly of Lucan provides evidence for both views: one, the
changes in farming and rural life have been so thorough that the past seems
quaint; two, "modern" problems really aren't so modern after all. Either
way, the "voices from the past" haven't lost their relevance.
by Wayne Kelly
• Identifying each animal in a dairy herd is a simple matter these days. Numbered
tags and even computer -sensitive implants can provide the "history" of the beast
instantaneously. The following poetic reflection calls to mind the days when each
member of the herd was known by her personality.
THE COWS
by Helen M. Richardson, 1911
Into the barn at the close of day
The mild -eyed cattle come, one by one;
Soberly into the stalls they stray
Munching their cuds, at the set of the sun.
Bess and Daisy stand close beside,
Switching their tails in a friendly way;
Molly and Susan with quiet pride
Into their stanchions at random stray.
Maud and Nancy in awkward haste
Stumble in tum through the wide barn door;
Wandering Gypsy is homeward chased
The last to blunder across the floor.
Swish, swish, swish into waiting pails
In rhythmic motion of hands well skilled;
Splashes the milk, while the nervous tails
Flap and flop till the pails are filled.
Then quiet reigns and the cattle rest;
Through the dark the barn rat roams unawed,
All undisturbed in its midnight quest
By Bess or Daisy or mild -eyed Maud.
