Tho superiority of cooking by Gas ia beyond dispute. Blr. Soyor, the late renowned clicf o£ the Keform Club, London, achieved all his triumphs of the cuisine by the use of Gas. The advantage in convenience, cleanliness, nnd economy are quite as great relatively in the case of the smallest family, as in that of the largest public institution, if the Gas be properly burned, and carefully used. At a recont show in Birmingham, the following result was obtained by practical experiment with a Gas Stove :—A joint weighing nine pounds, a large family pie, a couple of ducks, two sorts of vegetables, fish, and soup, were all cooked at one time in the space of two hours, consuming about 40 feet of gas, which at Auckland prices would be 3d. The Stoves are to be obtained cheap, and Mr. Parsons, the Secretary of the Gas Company, will be glad to give any inform* tion on the subject.
