List of State Certificates Issued from May 1, 

 1910, to May 1, 1911 



Copy of Laws Governing State Enrollment of Stallions 



We present herewith a list of stallion owners and names of stal- 

 lions, by counties, for which state certificates have been issued from 

 May 1, 1910, to May 1, 1911. 



There was issued prior to May 1, 1910, 6,349 certificates and 1,091 

 transfers. From May 1, 1910, to May 1, 1911, there was issued 876 

 certificates and 388 transfers; making a total of 7,224 certificates 

 and 1,478 transfers issued to May 1, 1911. 



Inasmuch as the law under which we are now registering stallions 

 does not require an annual renewal, it is impossible for us to present 

 a report showing the actual number of stallions owned or offered for 

 service in the state. However, we wish to thank the Thirty-fourth 

 General Assembly for enacting a very satisfartory stallion law 

 which will correct that fault, and it embodies a number of im- 

 portant changes for which this department has been contending 

 for a number of years. 



The principal features of the new law, which will go into effect 

 January 1, 1912, are as follows : 



Kequiring annual renewal of certificates of soundness between 

 January 1 and April 1 of each year. 



Disqualifying for public service a stallion affected with specified 

 hereditary or contagious diseases.
