. The natural history of the farm : a guide to the practical study of the sources of our living in wild nature . Natural history. 308 NATURAL HISTORY OF THE FARM. Fig. 133. "Pitchforks" or "Spanish Needles" in flower: see fig, 39 on page 69 for fruit. water, times in- numerable, thru past centuries: and we know that nature maintains in the brook only such plants and animals as are capable, in one way or another, of meeting the exigencies of such times as this. If the aquatic plants have disappeared, and the aquatic animals also, save for a few that may be discovered hiding under trash in the moister places, there will be found plenty of semi-aquatic brookside things still remaining. There will be weeds of many sorts, overhanging and brushing against us as we pass up the channel; willow-herbs and pitch-forks (fig. 133) in the sun, and rich weed (fig. 134) in the shady places. Then there will be coarse and straggling.
