Chicago, Jan. 24.-A special to the Tribune from Washington says: Dairy men throughout the country will un- doubtedly be interested in the efforts of the agricultural department to create a market for dairy products in Europe and Asia. Secretary Wilson has sent to the house the report of the operations of the bureau of animal industry, which deals with this sub ject. The report says special agents have visited Great Britain, France, Germany. China, Japan, Hawaii and the Philippine islands, and made ar engagements for experimental exports of butter to those countries. Total shipments to Germany and France have demonstrated the markets for choice dairy products from America were by no means as good as in Great Britain, while the difficulties in trans portation and the import duties inn posed added to the disadvantages ex- peI1enced.
 Experimental Exports.
 Accordingly the experimental ex- ports made almost every week during the year of 1898, and until the sum- me- of 1899, were confined to England, end mainly to the market of Manches- ter. The desired information having been obtained by those experiments, extending through three years, they were discontinued last May.
 Then work was imemdiately be- gun on similar exports from San Fran cisco to Pacific ports. No results from these experiments can as yet be re- ported. Experimental exports of se- lected creamery butter to Manchester for more than year were nightly sat- isfactory.
 Good Reputation Established.
 The result was a good reputation well established for American butter in that district, and the merchants urged shipments of larger quantities. Excepting an occasional variation from the standard, and few instances of deterioration incident to imperfections in the facilities of transportation, this butter was eminently satisfactory to merchants and consumers. It replaced Danish butter of the first quality, al. trough the merchants demanded a slight concession in prices.
 Bar In the Way.
 Refrigerating transportation can not be furnished by the steamship line on the Pacific, and this may not be de- siTsble at present. as cold storage plants are not to be found at most of the oriental markets. It will be neces- sary, therefore, to send all butter, and perhaps cheese, as we'll as canned and cor densed milk and cream in hermit ically sealed packages, capable of pre-. serving their contents during long voyages in hot climates. The art of canning butter so that it will remain in good condition for months, and wben subjected to great changes of temperature, has not yet been brought to perfection in this country.
