CRAIG, » Fort street., 'COOKINTG- BY OA S. IT ia not generally known that Cook ing can be 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, keep's the kitchen and hoHise cool, and is;only alight when actually in use. The difference between the cost of cooking by Gas, and by,the ordinary mode, is muoh greater than usual at the present time ; for while coals have lately advanced in pries 50 pub cent, Gas has been Re duced to 12s 6d por 1000. > j The following statement, which is the result! of many experiments, shows the relative cost of boiliriga GaUon of Water in a copper kettle by means' of a recently lighted coal fire,, and by a Gas Stove, and the time required in eaoh case :— ■ ■ ! CoJ?i2f od Woo* Time Total per ton. used- employed. Cost. With Fire.. 4Jlbs. l-sthofld 1 hour. l*d- With Gas.. 4 cubic feet at 12s 6d Twenty §d ' per 1000. minutes. * ' Therefore, by the use op Gas, there is a saving of. nearly two to one in money, and economy of two thirds in time, and the avoidance of trouble lin 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.
