# Methods for Pig-Raising

A large instructional sheet (code SP-1733) sets out how to raise pigs for profit: choosing piglets, building a pen, feeding with sweet potato, vegetable and maize formulae (with tables of proportions), and preventing disease. Parallel text appears in a second language beside the Vietnamese and the sheet ends with the slogan 'Rural improvement, agricultural revival'. It is a practical how-to with the persuasion carried by the economic promise in its opening panel and slogan.
