 steel-girder, concrete-floor bridge has been built across Cascadilla 

 Creek on the Ithaca-Dryden town line. ]\Iore has been done in clearing 

 out the stone from old hedgerows than for several seasons past. This

 Department the man labor, for grading around the state barns. 



During the year we hauled 809 loads of manure from the city and 

 applied it to the farm lands. We have also hauled to the fields 1,293 

 loads produced at the college barns.
