ECONOMY AND-A GAS STOVE.

Kitchen cleaning is rediuod one-half when jas or .'oil''stoves are used;: They , can be lighted at tho last.moment and put out as soon as the cooking; is, finished. One .can get simmering heat or intense heat in a moment, Thdy not only save the cost of fuel,' but they also ' savo' hours' of "hard • labour.. For instance, in making soup a largo burner ivill bring it quickly .-to-a.'boil; ■and-the simmering burner will hold it stationary for hours. Heat tho oven at least five minutes before you are ready to use it;.then as-soon as the moat is browned 'on- the outside, or your bread is . carefully'-browned)' turn both burners; down', or turn "off tho' back burner - entirely,~..leaving ; .the^.front/going... at- full force. When the: things on top. of the stovo ' begin to cook turn-down the burner. In this way you ;will.-save thousands of- feet '.of-'gas during theyear.Oil stoves cannot bo turned down. You must have a),perfect'blue.flame, and to get this you'must burn all the oil that is;being fed by. the'wick;;' ;: lf : y'ou turn it down the .wick-is<s,till.feeding,-and you have not sufficient flainq":td'.'cpnsume.the oil or convert,it into gas; and you will, notice a disagreeable odour all.over.tlio house. A clean oil stove, 0110 thati'burris .perfectly, will not have any more odoui^than-.gas'. .: Oil -stoves are constructed;'.'with; wicks ' and ; x without. Both stoves in burning produce; a: blue flame. The double row' bf. : .buriiers' under the oven may be made 'to "do ' double service, broil a steak or a chicken or fish, and bake at the samo time.
