Milking to Music - At Witley Park Diary, near Godalming, a wireless set is always in action when the cows are being milked - and it is found to have a soothing effect on them and doubtless results in a greater milk yield. This print from 7th February 1935 takes us back to the heart of rural England in the 1930s. In this picturesque scene, we witness the harmonious blend of technology and tradition as a diligent milkmaid tends to her beloved cows while music fills the airwaves. The cow shed stands proudly amidst lush green pastures, serving as both shelter for these gentle creatures and an entertainment hub for their daily milking routine. As listeners tune into melodies emanating from the wireless set strategically placed within the dairy, an enchanting ambiance envelops both animals and farmhands alike. The rhythmic tunes seem to cast a spell over these bovine beauties, lulling them into tranquility during their milking sessions. The innovative use of radio not only provides auditory delight but also yields practical benefits. Scientists believe that this melodic intervention has a calming effect on cows' nervous systems, resulting in increased productivity and ultimately leading to higher milk yields. This nostalgic snapshot captures an era where agriculture meets innovation; where modernity intertwines with age-old practices. It reminds us that even amidst hard work on farms like Witley Park Dairy, moments of respite can be found through simple pleasures such as music.
