sufficiently elucidated. The answer to all such 

 objections is that, when really understood, trout 

 culture is intrinsically by no means a difficult 

 matter, requiring years of study ; that its pro- 

 cesses are all simple, requiring patience and 

 practice, rather than genius in comprehension. 

 And lastly, that to crowd a practical work with 

 unnecessary matter, in other words to pad it 

 out, is worse than useless, as the fewer words 

 that are used the more easily are they retained 

 in the memory.
