MEXlCO'S NATIONAL DRINK.
II Is Made of the Sap of the Century
Plant and Is Called PuIque.

n Is Made of the Sap of the Century
Plant and Is Called PuIque.
The juices of the maguey or century
plant form universal drink among the
Mexicans. These plants blossom only
once and that at about ten years of age,
after which they die. When the blossom
stock appears in the center Of the plant,
at the base Of the long, thick leaves, the
maguey farmer watches it carefully I'M
til it reaches certain stage in its de-
gelopment, and he then cuts it out in
such manner as to leave bowllike
depression. Into this receptacle is pour
ed the sap which would have gone to
nourish the long blossom stock had it
been left in the plant, and from these
juices the famous Mexican beverages are
made.
A harvester makes his way from plant
to plant in the maguey field, gathering
the liquid by means of crude siphon
and a pigskin bag. The siphon most
commonly used consists of a long neck
ed gourd with hole at either end. The
sap gatherer places the smaller end of
this gourd in the liquid filled hollow in
the center of the plant, and then by put
ting his mouth over the larger end and
sucking the air from the gourd he draws
up the liquid into his siphon. The
gourd being filled, stopper is placed in
the hole at the large end and the meas
ure is emptied into the pigskin.
The juice thus obtained is passed
through simple process of fermenta-
ton which requires about "a hours
when it becomes fit for use as bever-
age. The chief drink thus obtained from
the maguey is pulque, which is the
Mexican national beverage This liquor
has the appearance of iced buttermilk
and it is said to resemble it very much
in taste. The fluid becomes unpalatable
and useless, however, after As hours
and consequently it must be consumed
as soon after making as possible. Ac-
cording to Modern Mexico, pulque max
ing is an enormous industry in Mexico
Mexico City alone consumes 100, 600
pints day, besides quantities OF mescal
and tequila Pulque is made from the
large maguey by fermentation, while
mescal is much more Intoxicating

the heart and the root of smaller va
riety of the same plant Tequila is also
O brand CT maguey sap
A we'll developed maguey plant will
yield from 100 to $50 gallons Of sap
The sap must lie gathered daily for sew
eral weeks. sometimes for three months
before it ceases TO flow The natives re-
gard these beverages as an essential part
of their diet, and their consumption Is
universal among all classes of people.
