290 QUEENSLAND AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL. {1 Ocr., 1902. 
and when quite cold finish off and store according to former directions. Note.— 
Various other fruit, such as raspberries, cherries, blackberries, &c., may all be 
preserved in precisely the same way, and it is wise to always have a few jars 
on hand, as they prove exceedingly useful on special occasions, being generally 
regarded as an extra treat. 
Red currants are not procurable in Queensland, but there should surely, in 
these enlightened times, be some means of importing the fruit or the juice from 
the southern States, New Zealand, or Tasmania. Possibly experiments might 
show that a substitute may be employed. 
REMEDY FOR APHIS. 
“Trogyllium” writes: Put 4 0z. of soap and sulphur into an ordinary billy 
or white-lead drum. Half-fill with water. Leave it on the stove all night to 
blend. Next afternoon, fill up with water at blood heat. Immerse the young 
flowering and fruiting’ twigs in the warm lather, one by one, with a gentle 
whisking motion which separates the leaves. This is instant death to the pest, 
and the embryo fruit is unharmed. 
AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL SHOWS. 
The Editor will be glad if the secretaries of Agricultural and other Societies 
will, as early as possible after the fixture of their respective shows, notify him 
of the date, and also of any change in date which may have been decided on.
