The Gas Stovo 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 when actually 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 has been re duced to 12s Od per 1000. The following statement, which is the result of many experiments, shows the relative cost of boiling a Gallon of Water in a copper kettle by means of a recently liehted coal fire, and by a Gas Stove, and the time required in each case ; — Coal used Wood Timo Total per ton. used- cm Ploye(l' Cost- With Fire.. 4Jibs. l-sthofld 1 hour. lid. With Gas.'. 4 cubic feet at 12s Od Twenty » d per 1000. minutes. -i Therefore, by the use of Gas, there is a saving of nearly two to one in money, and economy of two thirds in time, and the avoidance of trouble in lighting, smoke and dust. A choice selection of Gas Stoves for boiling, frying, broiling, stewing, and roasting can be seen, and the above statement as to cost proved by application to E.
