COOKING BY GAS. IT is not generally known that Cook ing can be accomplished much quicker, cleanlier, better, and cheaper by Gas than by any othermethod. 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 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 keen ke nuoED to 12s Gd per 1000.' • The following statement, which is tho result of many experiments, shows the relative cost of boiling a Gallon of Water in a copper kettle by means of a recently lighted coal lire, and by a Gas Stove, and tte timo required in each case :— Coal ■used WGod Tlme Total per toil. used- cm PlQyed- ' Cost- With Firo.. 4}lt>3. l-sthofld 1 hour. ljd. With Gas.. 4 cubic feet at 12s Cd Twenty .. per 1000. minutes. * Therefore, by tiie use of Gas, there is a saving of nearly two to okb in money, and economy of rwo thirdh 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.
