PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, Klusman K Co took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums were offered. The large silver medal was
awarded to the Economist ct the New York State

Vulcan himself In style and finish, the improve
mFnt has been real, leaving nothing to be desired
on that point, but the severe competition in price,
to which they have been subjected, has deprived
them of many of the substantial qualities
desirable. This especially TO have beer,

domestic economy that has more to do with scolding
wives and crOtchety servants than people inl-
agine- The public have long sought an Improve
ment in this article and We believe ready to pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, If il only
possesses the merits of size, weight convenience,
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture
These qualities seem TO be possessed most fully in
the Econ mist-a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs. Ireadwell, Perry
Il Norton, of Albany. We heard SO much of this
stove, and it looked so much like stove intended
for uss that concluded to try them, and the
result Of the experiment convinces us that the
proDrIeteTs in their determination to make the bet
store in the G1orid, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
nIerated-as the great stove of the day-far in adj
vance of anything attempted In the line OF
stoves, perfect in all its appointments, and to
It's name in durability and the of fuel. Among
the many conveniences attached TO 1t, may be
toned large oven, with hooks arranged for
pending meats while roasting. copper water
tank, holding from Il to % gallons-warming
closet, oroiling hearth, &C., SC. The broiling
neart Is one OF the most noticeable features this
reinarkable stove. There never has been, to our
knowledge any broiling fixture that really
isfactory IN its operation. The pruprietors of this
stoNe have been conducting series of experiments
upon broiling elieiting valuable facts and re-
sulting IN the invention of grdron adapted to
this stove which has been secured by letters patent
and is of the most admirable things of the kind
we ever saw-broiliEg without smoke AZ d keeping

to do justice to mechanical inn ruvements and es-
pecialy such as contribute largely the general
good, the one above mentioned.
