Farmers Take Notice! Loch Fergeis Will Stand for Service
A "stud notice," which the Encyclopedia of Ephemera (New York: Routledge, 2000), pp 315-16, defines as: "A printed announcement . . . circulated to owners of horses in a particular district indicating that a named stud horse would be available to serve mares during a given season."
The horse--Loch Fergeis--may be named after Loch Fergus, a loch in Scotland. The place names--Cummingstown, Palmstown, and Oakville--indicate locations in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
I haven't been able to determine the year this notice was printed, nor have I been able to uncover much information about M. M. Hummel, D. W. Kough, and George H. Hummel.
Farmers Take Notice!
Loch Fergeis will stand for service the 1st week commencing April 7th, at M. M. Hummel's, on the road leading from Cummingstown to Palmstown, the following week at D. W. Kough's, about one-half mile south of Oakville and week about at above mentioned places.
Terms:--$5.00 to insure a mare with foal, colt to stand and suck. Anyone parting with mare will be held for the insurance. If mare is parted with, insurance due at once.
Description:--Dark roan, fine style and heavy bone, close jointed, sixteen and one-half hands high, weight, fifteen hundred lbs.
