Substitute for copperas.

--The following is a recipe which answers every purpose in dyeing where copperas in need in setting colors, or for dyeing copperas color: Half pint vinegar, half pint syrup or molasses, three gallons of water. Put the above into an iron pot with nails or other rusty iron, and let it stand twenty days. It is of no use to buy copperas for dyeing at one dollar per pound while this will answer every purpose.
