The Gas Stove is portable, gives perfect and imme dilte 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 GO per cent, Gas has hern re duced to 12s Cd 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 lighted coal lire, and by a Gas Stove, and the time required in eacli case :— Coal used Wood Tjme Total T™ used- employed. Cost. per Luii. With Fire.. 41 lbs. l-sthofld 1 hour. ljd. With Gas.. 4 cubic feet atl2sod Twenty per 1000. minutes. ' Therefore, hy the use of Gas, there is a saving of nearly two to onk in money, and economy of two thtrds in time, and the avoidance of trouble in lighting, smoke and dust. A ohoice selection of Gas Stoves for boiling, frying, broiling, stewing, and roasting oan be seen, and the above statement as to cost proved by application to E.
