"Every person who offers for hire the service of a stal-

 the name, color, age, size and pedigree (so far as known) 

 and the name and residence of the person by whom he 

 was bred, and shall cause the certificate to be recorded 

 by the secretary of the Board of Agriculture. He shall 

 also insert a copy of the certificate in all posters and 

 notices advertising the stallion, and shall give a copy of it 

 to the keeper of each mare served by the stallion for hire." 



Neglect to make or record the certificate, or neglect to

 service fee "unless he shall show that the person had 

 actual knowledge of it at the time of service." Making

 of it to a mare owner makes the stallioner liable to a 

 fine of $100. Compliance with this statute gives the stal- 

 lioner a preferred lien on the colt until it is eight months 

 old, and colt may be attached at any time after it is four 

 months old.
