Bird Patient Successfully Treated in
Boston HOSPITAL.
rom the Boston Globe.

From the Boston Globe.
If the pigeon patient whose left leg has
been in a plaster cast at the Relief Hos
pital for eleven days were able to talA
probably the first thing IL would do after
its discharge" from the hospital would
be to fly to Pemberton Square. the gen.
eral meeting place of the pigeons, and
tell the others what a wonderful thing
surgery is.
The pigeon at the Relief Hospital had
the plaster cast taken from its leg by DIR.
Shedd this morning There were many
surgeons present, and they manifested no
little interest in the work OF DIR. Shedd.
who has taken considerable interest in
the case of the helpless pigeon. which q
week ago Sunday tapped its bill repeated
ly against a window of the hospital until
an attendant came to its assistance
The pigeon was admitted. and DIR.
Shedd. after setting the injured leg,
placed 1t In a cast. also placing the right
leg In a cast
The bird has been given much attention
and has been an ideal patient This morn
Ing the bird was taken to private room
and DIR. Shedd and Mr.. Hartigan the at
tendant. placed IL on an operating Ia
ble'' and removed the cast. When the
cast was removed 1t was evident that the
pigeon had forgotten all about flying.
The bird Mapped its wings once. but made
no attempt to fly out OF DIR. Shedds hands
The injured leg has mended we'll. and In
another week the patient will be dis
charged"
The injured pigeon has become q
mascot at the Relief Hospital. The at
tendants would like to keep the bird
there. Several persons have promised
to give the bird a home should the at
taches of the hospital wish to give IL
up. The managers OF the poultry show
made an effort to get the bird for ex-
hibition purposes, but DR.. Shead felt
that the patient was not strong
enough for show purposes.
In the accident tho pigeon lost its
tail, some plumage and broke its
leg. 1t was a wise old bird, the doc
tor said, when it dragged itself to the
window of the hospital Dr. Shedd said
that the pigeon seemed to take an in
terest in his operation. and blinked
| its eyes approvingly when the cast
was removed.

Story Of the Origin Of the Famous
Colorado Cantaloupes.
rom the Earth.


There were shipped out of the Rocky
Ford district about 100 carloads of cam
taloupes this season. This was about
200 carloads short of the usual crop. but
the growers are well satisfied. The can
taloupe is one Of the mainstays of the
Arkansas valley of Colorado.
The father of the Rocky Ford canta-
loupe was the late G. w. Swink. Indeed.
Mr.. Swink was the father Of irrigation
and everything grown by irrigation In the
valley. Originally Mr.. Swink ran cattle
ON the native pasture. He was prosper
Gus and comfortable, but he lacked gar
den and orchard and shade.
He observed that water thrown from the
kitchen in the early spring caused plants
to spring up and grow throughout the
year Even trees took root under this
chance irrigation, and 1t occurred to him
that possibly he might use water from
the we'll for a small garden. Accordingly
one spring he made a garden. irrigating it
from the well.
But the water was too cold to be poured
directly upon the plants. and SO he adopt
ed the plan of drawing large quantity in
the evening and letting 1t stand all the
next day in the sun. This made the wa
ter acceptable to the plants. and he had a
fine. garden until late fall. The next year
by Increasing the capacity of his reser-
voir he had larger garden. Finally 9TH
er settlers followed his example and soon
came dams in the river and canals and
bitches, until now one-half million acres
Of the valley west Of the Kansas line are
under irrigation.
Before his neighbors Joined him. how
ever, Mr.. Swink introduced the cantaloupe
in the valley. Unwilling to make the ex-
pertinent with seed to be obtained in the
United States, he wrote to the United
States commissioner of agriculture, re-
questing that a quantity of the best seed
obtainable from abroad be sent to him.
err Immediately wrote to United States
consuls stationed on the Mediterranean
coast for seed of the cantaloupe. which
was the best melon grown in those coun-
tries,
