IT is not generally known that Cook ing can be accomplished much quicker, cleanlier, better, and cheaper by Gas than by any other method. The Gas' Stove Is portable, gives perfect and imme diite control over the heat, requires but little atten tion, is always ready, keeps the kitchen and house cool, and is only alight whenaotually in use. The difference between the cost of cooking by Gas, and by the ordinary mode, is much greater than usual at the present time ; for while coals have lately advanced in pries 50 per cent, Gas hasbehn be di/cbb to 12s 6d per 1000. The following statement, which is the result of many experiments, shows the relative cost of bollinga Gallon of Water in a copper kettle by means of a recently lighted coal fire, and by a Gaa Stove, and the time required in each case :— ■ • Coal wed Weod Time Total ' ptrton. used- «BPkyrt- Cost- With Fire.. 4i1t05. l-6thofld 1 hour. ljd. With Gas.. 1 cubic feet at 12s 8d Twenty M per 1000. minutes. • Therefore, by the xtse of Gas, there is a saving of nearly two to one in money, and economy of ivo thirds in time, and the avoidance of trouble in lighting, smoke and dust. A choice selection of Gas Stovos for boiling, frying, broiliDg, stewing, and roasting can be seen, and the above statement as to cost proved by application to E.
