The Coshoctoo issue from Friday October 22, 1869 laments an Indianapolis express wagon driver who refused to transport wounded from the Fair grounds unless overcharged. It notes attempts to hide the driver’s identity, urges citizens, and promotes saving money with a penny a day to build wealth, warning against waste.
A fragment discusses printer work discipline and idlers, then shifts to Florida orange cultivation. It extols the printing office as a demanding yet noble workplace and praises the potential profitability of Florida oranges, noting low capital needs, grafting ease, and high yields per acre with seasonally abundant fruit from October to May. Dr J C Kenworth is cited on orange quality, comparing Florida and Cuban varieties. The piece closes with an upbeat note on recent strong orange seasons along the St. Johns river.
Advice on cider preservation stresses using sound fruit and proper cask handling. It describes soaking casks with saleratus, rinsing, filling with cider, and corking tightly to prevent fermentation. Methods include air tight storage, checking fermentation by pressure, and steps toward champagne cider with honey or sugar.
A period piece passage discusses cider fermentation techniques including using milk, gelatine, or oils to clarify and slow fermentation, and suggests oiling the bung hole to prevent acetic conversion. It then shares a camel fable about temptation and a cholera barricade anecdote, ending with a note on General Banks and early printing work in Boston.
