THE JAPANESE INDEMNITY.
Suggestions of Medical Experts as to
National Quarantine.
From OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is, 1879.
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE MEDICAL EXPERTS
AS TO NATIONAL QUARANTINE.
1t is understood that the medical experts appointed
to aid the Congressional committee in the investiga-
ton OF the yellow fever epidemic will recommend the
establishment of national quarantine, to be indie
pendent of the local authorities. For instance the
point to be selected for the protection of New York
harbor would be at Sandy Hook at some
point outside of the harbor, and at this
point all vessels coming from infected or
suspected ports would be subjected TO strict quar-.
antine. The possibility Of such system conflicting
with the local authorities is being considered and
is evident to the medical experts well as TO the
Congressional members of the committee that serious
complications must arise If such system is en-
forced by national legislation. Such system would
inevitably close the Southern ports and compel ship
ping to seek Northern harbors and hence would arise
local sectional opposition to the enforcement of the
measure. Again, il national quarantine estab-
lished the question would arise which of the clear
ances would be valid accepted by the local author
tiles. These matters being carefully considered
and the committee OF experts hope to be able to finish
their part Of the work early next week.

Deep Flowing.
New York Observer


Some twenty years ago there was a
mania among the agricultural theor-
lists for deep blowing. Every farmer,
it was said, had farm under his lands
of great value, where the pillow had
not yet reached. No matter what the
character, of the surface and the sub
soils were, the pillow should 90 in to its
beam. But these men are beginning
to get their eyes open. Mr.. Geo. L.
Waring, Jr., in speaking Of the results
OF ten years management of Ogden
Farm says: "Albont six acres were
some seven or eight years ago. plowed
about twelve inches deep. The sub
soil of blue clay, which was brought
TO the. surface. was a lasting injury
to the land. 1t still shows the i'll
effect of the treatment, in spite of
time and manure. There are some
soils that would be benefited by plow-
ing twelve inches deep. but they are
scarce The rule may be said to be:
Never turn up over one or two
inches Of uniertilc subsoil in one sea
son; and, when SO turned up. the land
should receive a dressing Of manure,".
