IT is not generally known that Cook ing oan be accomplished much quioker, 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 aotually in use. The difference between the cost of cooking by Gas, and by the ordinary mode, is much greater than ÜBual at the present time : for while coals have lately advanced in prios 50 pes. cent, Gas has been ke duced to 12s fld per 1000. The following statement, whloh is the result of many experiments, shows the relative oost of boiling a Gallon of Water in a oopper kettle by means of a recently lighted coal fire, and by a Gas Stove, and the time required in each case :— Coal used Weod T)mo Total p« ton. used- cm Ployod- Cosfc- With Fire.. 4U&s. l-sthofld lhour. ljd.
