It
was
not
the
loss
for
the
moment
that
made
slack
milking
so
serious
,
but
that
with
the
decline
of
demand
there
came
decline
,
and
ultimately
cessation
,
of
supply
.
After
Tess
had
settled
down
to
her
cow
there
was
for
a
time
no
talk
in
the
barton
,
and
not
a
sound
interfered
with
the
purr
of
the
milk
-
jets
into
the
numerous
pails
,
except
a
momentary
exclamation
to
one
or
other
of
the
beast
requesting
her
to
turn
round
or
stand
still
.
The
only
movements
were
those
of
the
milkers
’
hands
up
and
down
,
and
the
swing
of
the
cows
’
tails
.
Thus
they
all
worked
on
,
encompassed
by
the
vast
flat
mead
which
extended
to
either
slope
of
the
valley
—
a
level
landscape
compounded
of
old
landscapes
long
forgotten
,
and
,
no
doubt
,
differing
in
character
very
greatly
from
the
landscape
they
composed
now
.
“
To
my
thinking
,
”
said
the
dairyman
,
rising
suddenly
from
a
cow
he
had
just
finished
off
,
snatching
up
his
three
-
legged
stool
in
one
hand
and
the
pail
in
the
other
,
and
moving
on
to
the
next
hard
-
yielder
in
his
vicinity
;
“
to
my
thinking
,
the
cows
don
’
t
gie
down
their
milk
today
as
usual
.
Upon
my
life
,
if
Winker
do
begin
keeping
back
like
this
,
she
’
ll
not
be
worth
going
under
by
midsummer
.
”
“
’
Tis
because
there
’
s
a
new
hand
come
among
us
,
’
said
Jonathan
Kail
.
“
I
’
ve
noticed
such
things
afore
.
”
“
To
be
sure
.
It
may
be
so
.
I
didn
’
t
think
o
’
t
.
”
“
I
’
ve
been
told
that
it
goes
up
into
their
horns
at
such
times
,
”
said
a
dairymaid
.
“
Well
,
as
to
going
up
into
their
horns
,
”
replied
Dairyman
Crick
dubiously
,
as
though
even
witchcraft
might
be
limited
by
anatomical
possibilities
,
“
I
couldn
’
t
say
;
I
certainly
could
not
.
But
as
nott
cows
will
keep
it
back
as
well
as
the
horned
ones
,
I
don
’
t
quite
agree
to
it
.
Do
ye
know
that
riddle
about
the
nott
cows
,
Jonathan
?
Why
do
nott
cows
give
less
milk
in
a
year
than
horned
?
”
“
I
don
’
t
!
”
interposed
the
milkmaid
,
“
Why
do
they
?
”
“
Because
there
bain
’
t
so
many
of
’
em
,
”
said
the
dairyman
.
“
Howsomever
,
these
gam
’
sters
do
certainly
keep
back
their
milk
today
.
Folks
,
we
must
lift
up
a
stave
or
two
—
that
’
s
the
only
cure
for
’
t
.
”
Songs
were
often
resorted
to
in
dairies
hereabout
as
an
enticement
to
the
cows
when
they
showed
signs
of
withholding
their
usual
yield
;
and
the
band
of
milkers
at
this
request
burst
into
melody
—
in
purely
business
-
like
tones
,
it
is
true
,
and
with
no
great
spontaneity
;
the
result
,
according
to
their
own
belief
,
being
a
decided
improvement
during
the
song
’
s
continuance
.
When
they
had
gone
through
fourteen
or
fifteen
verses
of
a
cheerful
ballad
about
a
murderer
who
was
afraid
to
go
to
bed
in
the
dark
because
he
saw
certain
brimstone
flames
around
him
,
one
of
the
male
milkers
said
