Baby-sitters for cows attract curious study at Lake Michigan
Dan Snider from Middletown Ford visits Walloon Lake and spots a clipping about a couple who babysit calves from five days to two months. They feed and care for calves until they join milking herds. Michigan dairymen praise the service for better calf supervision and a controlled environment, allowing dairymen to focus on their milking herd. Mrs. Rachel Ashton, long-time Middletown resident, turns 89 Thursday at Sunnybreeze Rest Home in Hamilton. She was a familiar helper on North Avenue and Franklin Street, greeting bus riders and tending her own yard until a broken hip sent her to care. Gardening offers a steady yearly renewal and satisfaction as life sprouted anew each spring.
