Molasses Candy

We give two excellent recipes: 1. Take two cupfuls of molasses, one cupful of sugar, one tablespoonful of vinegar, and a piece of butter the size of a hickory-nut. Boil briskly twenty minutes, stirring all the time. When cool, pull until white. 2. Take one large coffee-cupful of molasses and two very large tablespoonfuls of sugar, and boil as rapidly as possible for twenty minutes. Try if it is brittle by dropping into cold water. When done, rub one-half teaspoonful soda smooth, and stir dry into the boiling candy. Mix it thoroughly and pour into buttered pans. Stir while boiling to keep it from burning. Do not pull. If you like pop-corn balls, pop it fresh, and stir into a part or whole of it.
