 make, and the filing of such lists and claim for lien as 

 aforesaid shall be constructive notice thereof to all persons 

 buying or in any way dealing with or in regard to any

All stallions, used for breeding purposes, must be en- 

 rolled by name, description and pedigree, with the State 

 Livestock Sanitary Board, and the certificate of enrollment 

 must be recorded by the prothonotary of the county or 

 counties where the stallion is used for public service. 



"In order to obtain the license certificate herein provided 

 for, the owner of such stallion shall file a certificate of 

 soundness, signed by a duly qualified veterinarian, or, in 

 lieu thereof, he may make oath before a notary public 

 that, after diligent inquiry, such stallion is, to the best of 

 his knowledge, free from hereditary, contagious or trans- 

 missible unsoundness or disease, and shall forward this 

 veterinarian's certificate, or his affidavit, together with the 

 stud-book certificate of registry of the pedigree of the said 

 stallion, and any other documents that may be necessary 

 to define and describe his breeding and ownership, to the 

 State Livestock Sanitary Board." 



The board may in its discretion refuse a license to a 

 stallion because of transmissible physical unsoundness or 

 because of the pedigree not being recorded in a book recog- 

 nized by the United States Department of Agriculture. 



Copies of this license certificate must be posted in a 

 conspicuous place both within and upon the outside of the 

 main door leading into any stable or building where the 

 stallion stands for public service, and must be kept in 

 place during the entire breeding season.
