Take one quart of white beans, pick them over the night before, put to soak in cold water; in the morning put them in fresh water and let them scald, then turn off the water and put on more, hot, salt and boil slowly until soft, then add a tablespoonful of molasses, one-third of a teaspoonful of soda and a lump of butter, stir in well, put in a deep pan, bake 1 and one-half hours. Margaret E. Weidling.

Boston Baked Beans

Pick over carefully 2 pints of beans and let them soak over night, in the morning drain off the water and put in an earthen bean pot (one with a cover is best), 1 tablespoonful of molasses and a piece of salt pork four or five inches square, cover with hot water and bake six hours or longer. The more they are baked the better. Add water as needed. Care should be taken and not get too much water or they will be sloppy when done. If for Sunday morning breakfast bake the day before and warm in the morning. If you think the beans are old, boil about 15 minutes with a little soda in the water. If pork isn't salt enough to season them add a little more salt. This is enough for six. Mrs. F. L. Moses.
