No dust, dirt, or gi'ass can reach the gears, jvnd the driver cannot possibly be injured by tiiem. Almost the entire weight of the ". is carried upf>n the wheels, giving large driving power in proportion to the whole weight. The machine is one of the strongest, and also one of the lightest, in use, weighing only GOO lbs. The Sprague has the central lifting di'augl>t, lessening the work of the team, and the liability to strain when striking C)bstructions.
