IT is not generally known that Cook irig'canbe'accomplished much quicker, cleanlier, better,-and cheaper by Gas than by any other method. The Gas Stove is portable, gives perfect and imme diate 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 .10 i'eh cent, Gas; has he en ke di;oki> to 12s fid per 1000. ; The fallowing statement, which is the result of many experiments..shows the relative cost of boilinga Gallon of Water in a copper' kettle by means of a recently lighted coal fire, and by a Gas Stove, and the time required in each- case :— . . . | '■ Coal used Weod Totft ; i:'!: per ton. u!ied- employed. Cost.' With Fire.. 4}lbs. l-sthofld 1 hour. ljd. With Gas.. 4 cubic feet at' 12s Cd Twenty a , per 1000. minutes. 3 ' ; ' > . :, ' Therefore, by the use of Gas, there is a saving of, nearly two to one in money, and economy of two tiobds in time,, and'the avoidance of trouble in lighting, smol^e 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.
