DoNEsTlc FRuT CAKE.-l send you the fol-
lowing recipe for domestic fruit cake which, in
these days OF high prices of foreign fruit will
be found great saving, and pronounced by
good Judges to be " first rate, equal to that
which is " ar-letched ard dcar-bought.'
Soak two cups dried apples over night in the
morning, simmer them in three cups Of moasses,
with Two or three kinds ol spices add two
thirds OF acnpoi any shortening you may have,
and teaspooniul Of soda, 0our enough for a
stu batter. An egg or two improves it. This
quantity will make two small loayes or one
large one. Try 1t, and our word iorit, you will
make 1t the second time.
