A SPECIAL REQUEST
The State Live Stock Registry Board requests stallion owners t o use
the utmost care in making application for stallion licenses, being certain:
(1)
That the application blank is accurately filled out in every detail,
(2)
That the application for license for grade or cross-bred stallion
has been sworn to,
( 3 ) That the registry certificate (pedigree) accompanies the application for a purebred license if the stallion has changed ownership since the
previous license was issued,
(4)
That the fees are in the form of post-office money order, express
money order, draft, or certified check,
( 5 ) That all fees, papers, and pedigress are inclosed in one envelope,
as great confusion and delay are often caused when they are sent in different
wrappers, due to the fact that 1,000 applications are sometimes received in
one week, and care of this sort on the part of each stallion owner will assist
greatly in the early issuance of licenses.
(6)
That the application for a license is sent just as soon as the application blank is received, thus avoiding delay in issuing the license and allowing one to advertise his stallion before the breeding season opens,
(7) That all sections of the stallion license law are read carefully.
The law has been in effect long enough so that everyone is expected to be
familiar with its provisions and all must comply with each provision of the
law. Attention to these details will assist not only the registry board, but
the stallion owner as well.

PROSECUTIONS
The stallion license law provides a penalty in the form of a fine of from
$20 to $60 and costs for standing or offering a stallion for public service
without a license, and the courts have ruled that an owner is standing a stallion for public service whenever he allows his stallion to serve mares owned
by neighbors or others, and a license is required.
A few stallion owners who have interpreted the law to suit their own
fancy and have used their stallions without licenses have suffered the embarrassment and expense of an arrest, prosecution, and fine. However, it
has always been the policy of the State Live Stock Registry Board to give
stallion owners every possible opportunity to take out licenses before starting a prosecution, but when a stallion owner willfully and knowingly uses
his stallion for public service without a license, the Registry Board is ready
to prosecute if its attention is directed to such violation of the law. All information furnished the State Live Stock Registry Board relative to violation of this law will be treated confidentially.
IMPROVEMENT IN PUBLIC SERVICE STALLIONS SINCE 1910
The work of the Kansas Live Stock Registry Board continues to be rewarded by an increase in the percentage of purebred stallions standing for
public service in the State. The table following shows the changes that have
taken place since 1910,when the stallion license law went into effect:
A careful study of the table reveals some very interesting facts. Nine
years ago 2,599 purebred and 3,766 grades and scrubs were licensed to
stand for public service in Kansas. Only 40.8 per cent were purebreds
while 59.2 per cent were grades and scrubs. During 1919 licenses have
been issued for 2,994 purebreds and 1,445 grades and scrubs; 67.4 per cent
purebreds and only 32.5 per cent grades and scrubs. In other words, 15 per
cent more purebreds were licensed in 1919 than in 1910 and 61.6 per cent
fewer grades and scrubs.
Furthermore, 2,755 purebred draft stallions and 309 purebred light
stallions were licensed in 1919 as compared with 1,892 purebred draft stallions and 707 purebred light stallions in 1910. During this period there
t
cumen n

tio
Histori ural Experiment Sta
Kansas
Agricult
has been an increase of 48.2 per cent in the number of purebred draft stallions and a decrease of 56.2 per cent in the number of purebred light stallions. During the same period the number of purebred Percheron stallions
has increased 67.2 per cent, and they represent 74.9 per cent of all the purebred draft stallions standing for public service in Kansas during the year
1919.
Stallions of the different breeds, ranked in the order of the number
licensed in 1919, appear in the following table:
,
The counties having fifty or more stallions in which the largest per
cent of purebreds were licensed to stand for public service during 1919, also
the percentages of purebred stallions licensed to stand for public service in
the same counties in 1910, rank as follows:
Pawnee county has shown the greatest improvement with an increase
of from 21 to 42 in the number of purebreds and a decrease of from 33 to
11 in the number of grades and scrubs licensed to stand for public service.
Reno is a close second. Its purebreds have increased from 49 to 69 and
its grades and scrubs have decreased from 46 to 16.
In 1910 more grades and scrubs than purebreds were licensed to
stand for public service in 87 of the 105counties of the state. The records
for 1919 show more grades and scrubs than purebreds were licensed to stand
for public service in only six counties, a decrease of six counties since
1918. The counties in which more grades and scrubs have been licensed to
stand for public service in 1919 are: Hamilton, Logan, Morton, Sheridan,
Wallace, and Wyandotte.
The stallion license law has given mare owners a means of knowing the
exact breeding of the stallions they patronize, and has eliminated the misrepresentations regarding bloodlines which formerly appeared in many stal-

lion advertisements. In 1909, over 2,000 grades and scrubs were advertised
as purebreds, while in 1919, not one such animal was so advertised in Kansas newspapers. Previous to the passage of the stallion license law hundreds of grades and scrubs with fake and fraudulent pedigrees were sold as
purebreds to unsuspecting purchasers at prices ranging from $500 to $4,200
each. These unscrupulous stallion peddlers have left the State, as the stallion license law has exposed their wares.
These practical and beneficial results from the operation of the stallion
license law make it of inestimable value to the horse raisers of Kansas. The
cooperation of every one interested in horses in seeing that the law has its
widest application will result in even greater benefits.
F. W. Bell, Secretary
The annual meeting of the Kansas Horse Breeders’ association was held
at Manhattan, Kansas, Wednesday, February 5, 1919. This meeting was attended by a large number of Kansas horsemen. D. F. McAlister, the first
speaker on the program, gave a very interesting talk on the value of purebred mares on the farm. Mr. McAlister raises good Percherons and uses
them t o do all the farm work. His mares are returning a nice profit through
the sale of the colts besides furnishing all the power needed on the farm to
handle the crops. Mr. McAlister urged the horse breeders to exhibit some
of their stock at the fairs. It is worthy of note that horses bred and raised
by Mr. McAlister have been consistent winners at the state fairs.
F. W. Bell, secretary of the association, discussed the value of horse
breeders’ organizations. The horse breeders of a community can form an
organization for mutual improvement, community advertising, and combination sales. Such an association by emphasizing the importance of breeding only to the best stallions obtainable, and raising horses that meet the
market requirements, can build up a reputation for the community that will
attract buyers and create a good market for any surplus stock.
Geo. M. Rommel, Chief, Animal Husbandry Division, Bureau of Animal
Industry, Washington, D. C., was unable to be present to discuss the subject, “The Horse Situation as I saw It in Europe,” but sent a paper to be
presented at the meeting. This report brought out the fact that except in
devastated areas the breeding stock of France and England had been maintained to such a degree that these countries would be able to build up their
studs in a reasonable time. It was expected that some exportation of horses
would be made from the United States to foreign countries, but it was
pointed out that exportations would doubtless be limited on account of restricted shipping facilities, high freight rates, and the heavy losses in
shipping due to injury and sickness.
“The Horse That Brings The High Dollar in The Open Market” was
discussed by Frank H. Sweet, senior member of Sweet and Piper Commission Company, Kansas City, Missouri. Mr. Sweet emphasized the necessity
of developing colts rapidly so that they would reach the market with plenty
t

of size and in good flesh with smooth coats. In concluding his remarks he
summed up the situation very clearly when he said, “If the producers of
horses and mules will be particular as to the kind they raise, will give
them care and attention, dispose of their scrub breeding stock, and when
they go to market have every animal in good market condition, their returns will be quite satisfactory.’’
“Government Aid for the Horse Breeder” was the subject assigned to
A. P. Coon, Lincoln, Nebraska. He drew attention to the French and English system whereby the best stallions are given a bonus by the government,
thus encouraging stallion owners to stand only good stallions. It would
seem that a similar system might be adopted in this country if suitable state
laws were passed which would make it more profitable for the stallion
owner to keep nothing but a good purebred stallion.

T H E H O R S E SITUATION AS I SAW IT IN E U R O P E
Impressions of an Agricultural Commissioner During September
and October, 1918,
By
GEO. M. Rommel, Chief, Animal Husbandry Division,
U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry
(The following statements regarding the horse breeding industry in
Europe are taken from an address prepared by Mr. Rommel for the annual
meeting of the Kansas Horse Breeders' Association, February 6 , 1 9 1 9 . )
In the United Kingdom, (England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales) there
are about as many horses on farms as before, the war. The horse supply,
however, is relatively short on account of the increased acreage of land under cultivation a s compared with that before the war.
Horses on farms in France have declined about 1,000,000 head (from
3,250,000 to 2,250,000). This decline has to a considerable extent been
made good by the substitution of oxen. Although we traveled a great many
hundred miles throughout France, I do not recall ever having seen cows being used for work purposes.
Horses have probably declined in Germany and Austria Hungary a s
much as in France, judging from statements from soldiers in the allied
army concerning horses in the German army during the last month of the
war.
It is probably true that the sections of Europe which have suffered the
only serious decimation of breeding herds are those which have actually
been devastated by the war. Herds in those sections which have escaped
such devastation have been kept at normal size or better in order that their
owners can furnish animals to restock the war-swept farms, even though
they had to incur heavy expenses to accomplish this purpose.
The shortage of concentrates affects dairy cows, work horses, young
animals and breeding stock particularly, and in the rationing which was
found necessary in England preference was given these classes in the order
indicated. Hay is short, and in England there was last year a reduced acreage of roots and a poor crop.
America may be called upon to furnish horses both for agricultural
purposes and city use. The difference in prices of horses between Europe
and America is very great. The prices in Europe are from two to four
times what they are in America. The trade in horses will probably develop
as soon as it is known how many horses will be demobilized from the armies, as soon as shipping facilities will permit the transportation of horses
across the ocean and as soon as there are suillcient food supplies in Europe
to support a larger number of animals than they now have.
Except horses, the export of live animals from the United States is
doubtful for the following reasons:
1. Farmers prefer to buy stock which is nearby, accessible, of known
characteristics and acclimated.
2. European breeders have conserved their herds for the purpose of
meeting this demand and w i l l naturally be better able to compete for it than
farmers across the sea.
3. The risk of loss in shipping and on account of acclimation will
naturally be heavy on animals transported abroad.
4. The expense of shipment will be very heavy and there should be a
considerable margin between the cost of animals in the United states and
their value in Europe in order to render such a risk worth taking.

Unless conditions as I saw them during a recent trip through the best
draft horse producing section of Illinois and Iowa, in addition t o an extended trip through the Canadian Northwest, are very misleading there
is a marked change in the draft horse business coming. I cannot see any
chance of its being otherwise.
In Illinois I made a careful survey of the whole draft horse situation
by taking an auto and traveling those counties where the most Percherons
are raised. As nearly as I can estimate, not over six per cent of all the
two and three year old stallions that I looked at would do to buy. There
were plenty of colts but they were practically all too thin. Much to my
surprise I found some of the best breeders with half starved colts. The
colts had been the making of good stuff but feed had been so high that
they had not seen much of it. When one goes to a man’s place who has
well bred mares and a good herd horse and finds 8 0 0 pound yearlings
with long hair on them and 1 0 0 0 and 1 2 0 0 pound two-year-olds all running
together, it is pretty positive proof that there is a change coming. F o r
some it will be for the better and for others it will be for the worse.
Every dealer would rather leave his money in the hands of a breeder with
the right kind of parent stock because those colts will always grow into
better horses, but just so surely as the youngsters have been half fed from
weaning time until they are two years old, they are stunted beyond help,
Of course, feed will grow them out some but they will always be a cheap
horse. What is the dealer t o do? He wants stallions but my long experience as a dealer has led me to believe it is better to let a colt alone if
he does not look like he would make plenty of money. There are always
enough things to go wrong with them after you own them t o make it
bad business to buy anything but first grade colts. Whenever a farmer
leads out one of this kind to show me, I always feel sorry for the man
who raised the colt, but I remember, too, that I have never found that
it pays to handle that class of colts at any price and I let the man put
the colt back in the barn, thank him for his trouble and drive on. During
this trip in Illinois I spent nearly two weeks and had just such experiences
over and over every day.
Occasionally a man would ask me why I turned his colt down and I
had to tell him frankly just what I have said here. Then a breeder will
come back at you with some such question as this, “What am I to do?
I paid $1,000 a piece for my mares and the stallion I am using cost me
$2,000. I have raised these colts t o the age when they are old enough
for service. You say you are buying stallions but you can’t use mine.”
There is only one way to answer a man who puts such a question. Tell
him that a colt that a dealer will buy must be well grown and sound.
If the colt has a good frame, good conformation, and the right set of
feet and legs under him, a dealer can see an outcome in him even though
he is not fat, and will bid a fair price. But there is no use in trying
to feed out a 1,200 pound two-year-old. It is almost always a loss of
money regardless of what such a colt may cost the dealer in the first
place.
The best thing t o do is to make a gelding out of the colt that a
dealer cannot afford to handle. I know it sounds like a hard blow to the
purebred draft horse business to tell a breeder that he had better castrate
his colts, but nevertheless it is for his best interests. Here is a concrete
illustration: I drove into a breeder’s lot who had about fifteen stallions,
yearlings, two-year-olds and three-year-olds, all running together, wrestling
each other and “raising cain” in general. The breeder was almost distracted because he was busy in the harvest field and did not want to be
bothered with these stud colts. A dealer could almost have set his own
price and yet there was not a colt in the whole lot that would do me any
good. Castrating those colts would eliminate much of the trouble in caring
t
cumen n
cal Do
tio
Histori ural Experiment Sta
Kansas
Agricult
for them and they would make good work horses if turned out on grass
and with some grain to eat during the winter. The longer this breeder
keeps these colts as stallions the more money he will lose. He is bound
t o keep them, too, because they were so undersized from starvation that
they would not even do to sell to a rangeman.
On the other hand, the man who keeps his stallion colts up in a box
stall with no outdoor exercise and plenty to eat is following just as unprofltable a practice. His colt is usually boggy or curby and sometimes the
feet have been allowed to grow out and break off. One side of the foot
is left a little higher than the other, the foot rolls a little and nine times
out of ten a sidebone is the result of the lateral cartilage becoming inflamed
because the foot was not kept level. It is surprising to find so many two
and three year old stallions with sidebones and even some yearlings in the
same condition. Now there is absolutely no hope of a dealer buying such
a colt, for he can not sell him again and make any money from the transaction.
The extreme western part of the United States has in years past provided a splendid market for just such colts as I have described to be used
on the range. Ranch projects are now being broken up rapidly into smaller
holdings and the production of horses on the open range has been curtailed
very considerably in the last two or three years. Farming in the west
is getting to be more of a combined grain and livestock proposition. These
farmers have learned to appreciate and demand a good draft stallion just
as the corn belt farmer found by experience that that was the only kind
of a horse it paid to raise. The cheap stallion will not satisfy even the
range man. The past summer has been very dry in the extreme west and
the drouth has extended on up into Canada. This will undoubtedly prevent
the buying of considerable number of stallions during the coming winter.
I know of a few carloads that will go west, but in no such large numbers
as have been shipped into Montana, Oregon, Wyoming, Idaho, and Washington and the Canadian Northwest in the past twenty-four months. The
people have not the crops and therefore have not money with which to
buy stallions. Hence, the breeder or dealer with stallions to sell must
necessarily look to the central states very largely for the bulk of his trade.
That means the best type of draft stallions to be found will be the only
kind in demand. Breeders generally have been too loath to excuse themselves for the poor colts they have been raising by saying that such colts
would do all right for the western dealer. Those people who have been
entertaining such ideas will have to change them now.
All this means that the breeder and dealer alike must confine his
operations strictly to first class horses. The breeder who has any of the
other kind should alter them and get them to work as soon as they are
old enough. The dealer will find it unprofitable to handle any kind of a
horse that will not suit a corn belt farmer. That time has come when
the interests of the average breeder and dealer are mutual. They must
work together. One depends upon the other.
With this change in the general draft horse situation should come a
remodeling of our stallion laws. They were all right as drafted in the
beginning, but, like everything else, they must be changed constantly to
meet new conditions. Otherwise they become out of date and are no longer
progressive in their scope. With this oncoming demand for high class draft
stallions there should be a law in every state that would make it profitable
for a man to buy such a horse and stand him for public service. Without
such a law how can we expect to improve the common horse stock of our
country? Now we have come to that period in the development of American
agriculture when only the best sires should be patronized and the government is doing nothing whatever to encourage the patronage of such a class
of stallions. As in France, Belgium, England and Scotland, horse breeding
should become a national issue in the United States. This work is just
as much entitled to governmental aid in this country as it is in Europe.
Canada is now taking the progressive move and is lending financial assistance to those men who will buy outstanding sires and give the public
t
cumen on
cal Do
Histori ural Experiment Stati
Kansas
Agricult
the benefit of their services in improving the common horse stock of the
land. I believe in this work so thoroughly that I believe that some similar
action should be taken here in the central states, especially where there is
every reason possible for the encouragement of standing good draft stallions.
I have seen governmental aid to horse breeding in actual practice in the
old countries and I know positively that it was because the government
got behind those farmers over there that they were able to produce such
a high class lot of horses. Nothing but a very superior horse is allowed to
stand for public service in either of those four draft horse producing countries. Here in our own country practically every stallion colt we have
raised has been kept for stud duties. All of this has been due of course to
the high prices that have prevailed for the past two decades. Any kind
of a stallion that was fair in conformation, had four legs and could sire
colts would sell at a medium price. Not so any more, and our horsemen
should get together and do something a t once through legislation to eliminate these undesirable horses. Perhaps enough money could be gotten
to allow aid t o one or two purebred draft stallions in each county in the
state, the horses to be selected by a committee of three competent judges
chosen by the government. The breed of course would depend entirely
upon the majority vote of the people who lived in the district where a state
approved horse was to be traveled. A route over which such a stallion was
to be taken could be chosen in the same manner as a mail route, so that
the greatest number of farmers could be accommodated. This once mapped
out, it would be an easy matter to determine the breed of horse wanted.
Whatever amount was appropriated per stallion by the state should of
course be paid directly to the owner. Then each farmer who is to patronize
this horse should guarantee so many mares at so much for the season. I
have always been strongly against the idea of a service fee that insures a
colt to stand and suck. Whenever a sure horse serves a mare at the
proper time during a breeding season, he has done his part of the contract and his owner should be paid for his service. If the mare owner
does not take good care of her or does not return her to the horse, then
it is not the fault of the stallion nor of his owner if the mare does not get
in foal. A service fee that requires only the use of a horse for that season
is always the most satisfactory as well as the most profitable for both stallion and mare owner. The man who breeds a mare with that understanding
is always surer of getting a live colt than if he feels that if the colt dies
or the mare does not get in foal he has nothing to pay.
I believe that this change in the draft horse business is all for the
good and that it marks the beginning of a profitable future for the breeder
or dealer who handles good stock. For the man who tries to stay in the
business with a second rate class of drafters, I can see absolute failure.
THE HORSE THAT BRINGS THE HIGH DOLLAR
IN THE OPEN MARKET
Address by Frank H. Sweet of Sweet and Piper Commission Co.,
Kansas City, Missouri, before the Kansas Horse Breeders
Association, Manhattan, Kansas, February 5 , 1919.
Intensive farming in the eastern and central states gave rise to the
demand for the draft horse that could draw great loads with ease and
this type of horse has fitted easily and naturally into every phase of the
life of the world. He has carried men to battle, he has toiled in peace to
produce foods for man and beast, and his development has always been
along the lines best suited t o the job offered him.
As t o the future of the horse and mule in our economic and industrial
life. Let the past speak for the future. I well remember when electricity
supplanted horses as a motive power on street cars and it was then freely
predicted that the day of the horse and mule had passed and they would
never again be of any value, but they have steadily increased in value since
t

that time and at the beginning of the late war the price on commercial
animals was higher than it had ever been. This was especially true of the
high class chunks, horses weighing from 1200 to 1400 pounds, that had
action and quality and were suitable for light delivery single wagon work
and express service. The coming of the war had its effect on the horse
and mule market as it had on all other lines of business. Dealers in commercial lines of horses discontinued their regular business and devoted
their entire time t o the horse and mule that was suitable for war purposes
for the different allied countries and later for our own. So many different
classes of animals were purchased that the field was a large one and consequently very attractive to the average dealer. Because of the fact that
the attention of the dealers was so universally employed in this particular
direction, naturally the home commercial trade was neglected and suffered in consequence.
In explanation as to how the commercial channels that had absorbed
the horses and mules were supplied I will say that owing to the changed
conditions incident t o the coming of the war, the demand was greatly lessened. Labor was extremely scarce. An era of great economy was inaugurated. People got along with less motive power and used horses and
mules that under ordinary conditions would have gone to the discard, and
in many cases where they were forced to buy, they bought a plain undersized, unsound animal that was not suitable for any of the allied war
purposes.
Now all this has changed. The war is over and “business as usual” is
bound to be the watch word. I am an optimist in this line as well as in
others and I believe we are entering upon the greatest era of prosperity
the world has ever known and the horse is bound t o be a party t o it.
As to the truck and tractor vs. the horse and mule. To my mind
there is room for both. The geld is a large one, and our country, having
developed so rapidly, has need of all motive power that it is possible
to obtain and both at present are indispensable. To my mind the coming
of the truck and the auto was very opportune as it solved many motive
problems and had they not been placed on the market when they were the
price of horses and mules must have been almost prohibitive for ordinary
uses.
Now a s to the commercial horse that brings the high dollar on the
open market. Naturally that is a matter, generally speaking, controlled
by the different seasons. At present and during the past two months nearly
all the inquiry and fully 75 per cent of the outlet has been from the south,
this being especially true of mules. The southern market demands the
small to medium sized chunk, not too rugged but in good flesh and hair and
buyers are very particular about their being well broken and mares are t o
be preferred. The south wants a useful, compact animal that is pleasing
to the eye and for these they are willing to pay a very satisfactory
price. The old idea that any horse or mule that was low priced was
suitable for the southern trade does not hold good now. The south is
prosperous and wants good stock and is willing to pay the price, and the
more fit the animal is as to flesh and hair, the more the southern buyer
will pay. Consequently I know of no more remunerative business than for
the producer to put his stock, which he proposes to market, in the best
of condition. This he must do if he expects the best returns.
The different markets are flooded each week with unsalable misfit
animals and naturally they sell cheap. Consequently the opinion prevails
that the market is bad and that horses have no value. People who use
horses do not want to buy prospects such as a green, long haired colt that
they have to mature and put into condition before they can use it, or a
wild bronco that they will have to spend perhaps several months breaking,
o r an oversized, plain, rough horse whose only recommendation is the low
price that may buy him. Buyers want an animal that is ready for immediate service and one whose size and other conditions make him suitable
for the job forwhich he is intended.
As to the eastern trade which ordinarily buys the good chunks and
draft horses. Just a t present there is very little demand. This we account
t
cumen n

tio
Histori ural Experiment Sta
Kansas
Agricult
for in a measure from the fact that both our government and the British
have sold during the past six weeks large numbers of horses in nearly all
the principal cities of the east, which for the present have supplied the
markets of that territory. But from advice we have from Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and the other large centers we believe that when this
surplus of government stock is absorbed, there will be a demand for horses,
and while it will probably take several months for the market to get back
to such conditions as prevailed previous to the war, we believe eventually
this will be brought about and then the problem of a market for the chunks
and draft horses will be solved.
Another feature of the present horse market in this territory is the
increasing demand for the better type of mares that are suitable for farming
purposes and raising colts. At present there is a broad outlet for this
class at strong prices and the fact that consumers are still buying these,
leads me to believe that there is a future for the horse and that there are
a great many very substantial citizens who do not think the truck and
tractor are going t o displace the horse.
In conclusion, I will say that I believe if the producers of horses
and mules will be particular as to the kind they raise, will give them care
and attention, dispose of their scrub stock, and when they go to market
have every animal in good market condition, their returns will be quite
satisfactory and the future of the horse will be assured.
DO YOU SHOW HORSES?
I want to urge the horse breeders and horse raisers of Kansas to show
some of their horses at one or more fairs this year. The horse industry as
well as the individual owner is greatly benefited by making a good exhibit at such fairs. Every horse breeder should be represented by an exhibit in his county or district fair, even though he may show only one
animal. Many more breeders should send some of their horses to the state
fairs.
Kansas is especially fortunate in having two big fairs in September,
the Kansas Free Fair at Topeka and the State Fair at Hutchinson. Several
thousand dollars in prizes are offered a t these two fairs, and the prize lists
have been made especially attractive for the farmer-breeder. When importing was at its height dealers and importers from other states as well as
from Kansas, made up a big part of the exhibit and won the lion's share of
the prize money. But the war has stopped importing and the American
breeder must supply the breeding stock. No where else can you advertise
your horses so effectively as at the fair. You will meet the buyers there or
they will get in touch with you when the awards are reported in the agricultural journals and newspapers.
Write Phil Eastman, secretary Kansas Free Fair, Topeka, Kan., and A.
L. Sponsler, secretary Kansas State Fair, Hutchinson, Kan., for premium
lists which will be ready for distribution about June 1. Enter some of your
horses this year and you will help to make a good show and doubtless carry
off some of the prizes. And be sure to make a good exhibit at your local
fair.

RELATING TO THE REGISTRATION AND LICENSING OF STALLIONS
Senate Bill No. 277
An Act regulating the registration, advertising, and licensing of stallions
for public service in the State of Kansas, and repealing chapter 1 6 8 of
the Session Laws of 1909 and all laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:
Section 1. Every person, persons, firm, corporation, company or association that shall stand, travel, advertise or offer for public service in any manner any stallion in the State of Kansas, shall secure a license certificate for
such stallion from the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board, as hereinafter provided. Said board shall consist of the dean of the division of agriculture, head of the animal husbandry department, and head of the veterinary department of the Kansas State Agricultural College.
Section 2. To obtain a license certificate as herein provided, the owner of such stallion shall comply with the following requirements: first, the
owner of a purebred stallion shall forward to the Kansas State Livestock
Registry Board for inspection, the registry certificate or a certified copy of
the registry certificate of such stallion, also other necessary papers or documents relating to the breeding and ownership of such stallion. Second, owners of cross-bred or grade stallions shall forward to the Kansas State Live
Stock Registry Board afidavit showing the breeding of such stallion. Third,
owners of scrub stallions shall forward to the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board a statement of the breeding of such stallion. Fourth, the fee for
such stallion license shall be $2.00 and said fee shall accompany each application for license, provided, however, that in case the stallion was licensed
previous to July 1, 1913, under provisions of Chapter 168, Laws of 1909,
the fee for a new license shall be one dollar.
Section 3. The Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board shall have
power t o revoke, cancel and recall any license when said board shall find
that such license does not truly and correctly represent the horse for which
said license was originally issued, and when a license is revoked by the said
board, it shall be the duty of the sheriff or a constable of the county where
such license is located, to take possession of said license and deliver the
same to said Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board when called upon by
said Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board t o take possession of said
license.
Section 4. The Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board shall issue four
t
cumen n
cal Do
tio
Histori ural Experiment Sta
Kansas
Agricult
kinds of licenses as follows: purebred, for stallion correctly recorded in stud
books recognized by the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board; crossbred, for stallion whose sire and dam are of different breeds but each is correctly recorded in the stud book maintained for that particular breed, provided said stud books are recognized by the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board; grade, for stallion whose sire or dam is recorded in a stud book
that is recognized by the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board; scrub, for
stallion whose sire or dam are neither recorded in a stud book recognized
by the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board.
Section. 5. It shall be the duty of the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board to examine and pass upon the merits of each registry Certificate
and statement of breeding submitted, as herein provided, and it shall use as
its standard the stud books and signatures of the duly authorized officers of
the various horse pedigree registry associations, societies, or companies certified by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., Bureau of
Animal Industry, in Order No. 136, dated June 20, 1906, and any other stud
books which may be established in the future when an association or company establishing such stud books shall prove t o the satisfaction of the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board that they are doing an honest, reputable and creditable business, and that such stud books are necessary for the
protection and encouragement of that particular breed.
Sec. 6. Each license issued by the Kansas State Live Stock Registry
Board shall expire on December 31 of the year in which it is issued, but
each license may be renewed each year, provided the owner of said stallion
make application for renewal before March 1 following the date of expiration, and forward with such application for renewal a fee of one dollar for
each renewal, and submit satisfactory evidence establishing the identity of
stallions for which renewal of license is requested. Each renewal shall expire on December 31 of the year for which it is renewed. Failure to have
license renewed, as herein provided, before March 1 following the date of expiration, shall forfeit the right of renewal and when such right has been forfeited, the owner of such stallion shall procure a new license as provided in
section 2.
Section 7. The license certificate for a stallion correctly recorded in a
stud book recognized by the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board shall
contain t h e following information: license number, registration number,
breed, color, age, pedigree, name and address of owner, date of issue, the
seal of the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board, and the signature of the
secretary of the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board. The license for a
cross-bred, grade, or scrub stallion shall contain the following information:
license number, statement of breeding, color, age, name and address of owner, date of issue, seal of the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board, and
the signature of the secretary of the Kansas State Live Stock Registry
Board.
Section 8. Every bill, poster or other advertisement of every kind and
nature, issued by the owner, keeper, or person in charge of any stallion enrolled and licensed under this act and used to advertise such stallion by said
owner, keeper, or person in charge, shall have as a heading for such advertisement the class of license issued for said stallion and the number of his
license; thus, "Purebred License No....," "Cross-bred License No....."
"Grade License No. ....," or "Scrub License No.....," as the case may be.
In all advertisements this heading shall be set in the largest and boldest
type used in the advertisement.
Sec. 9. The owner, keeper, or person in charge of any stallion standing for public service in this State shall post and keep affixed during the
entire breeding season, the license certificate of each stallion issued under
the provisions of this act, in a conspicuous place in each stable or building
where said stallion stands for public service.
Sec. 10. Upon transfer of ownership of any stallion licensed under the
provisions of this act, the new owner shall forward to the office of the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board the license issued in the name of the
former owner, together with the fee of fifty cents and satisfactory evidence

State Live Stock Registry Board before July 1 of each year, the total number of horses in his particular county.
Sec. 12. It shall be optional with owners, keepers, or persons in
charge of stallions standing for public service whether or not said stallions
shall be examined for soundness, but no stallion shall be advertised in any
manner either directly or indirectly as a sound stallion until a certificate of
soundness has been issued for said stallion by the Kansas State Live Stock
Registry Board, and then said stallion may be advertised as sound only during the life of the certificate of soundness. This certificate of soundness
shall become null and void and not in force on December 31 of the year
during which it is issued. The fee of each certificate of soundness shall not
exceed $2.00 for each stallion.
Sec. 13. Any person, persons, firms, company, corporation or association that shall violate any of the provisions of this act, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction in any court of competent jurisdiction shall be punished by a fine of not less than $20 and not more than
$50 for each offense.
Sec. 14. The funds accruing from the above named fees shall be used
by the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board to defray the expenses of
enrollment of pedigrees and the issuing of licenses, to publish reports or bulletins containing lists of stallions, licenses and transfers, and for any other
such purpose as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and enforce the
provisions of this act, and all moneys accruing above the amount necessary
for said purposes shall be turned into the general revenue fund of the State,
It shall be the duty of the Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board to make
annual report, including financial statements, to the governor of the State,
and all financial records of said Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board
shall be open to inspection.
Sec. 15. All licenses issued by the Kansas State Live Stock Registry
Board under the provisions of chapter 168, Laws of 1909, shall become null
and void and not in force on and after July 1, 1913.
Sec. 16. All laws and parts of laws, including chapter 168, Laws of
1909, in conflict with this act are hereby repealed.
Sec. 17. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after
July 1, 1913, and its publication in the official statute book.
Approved March 3, 1913.
