DELICIOUS BUT CHEAP.

Mix all thoroughly together, rub in quarter pound each of lard r.nd butter ; clean one pound of cro.rrants, and half a pound of sultana raisins; cut up into . small pieces, quarter pound of candied lemon and orange peel, and mix these with the other ingredients to form a stiff paste; place in bread or cake,tins lined with greased paper, about three parts full; put greased paper on top to prevent from browning too quickly ,and bake in a moderate oven from one to two hours. To make certain it is done, stick a darning-needle in the centre of the cake/ When the needle is withdrawn ,if clean,- the cake is finished.
