0 THE . DAILY FINING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1,1868. A MAR VILLOUS PLANT. The Wemlean 'Miucy" How It Orowi ind How the Ilevernge "lMilque" Is Dfan n fact n red , Kane O'Donnel writes to the New York Tri lun from Ometnsoo, aa follows: No account of Mexico can well omit a notice of its common vegetable wonder, the maguey. Indeed, this maguey ia an estate in itself. As truly a plant as is my cabbage, it carries its tlos8oms to the height of twenty-live feet, leaving a vegetable nisss fifteen, sixteen or Seventeen feet below. There it seems to sit upon the earth, throwing oat great, hard root leaves. These leaves are thick and fibrous, re indented with savage spines, and taper to ft sharp point after four feet of growth. Right In their centre is an ernot, bulb-shaped sheatu, growing to a point. This is the heart of the maguey which, once cut out, upsprings the famous wineof agave, that for generations un told, has been the favorite food and tipple of Indian Mexico. The bloom of the plant is a panicle with numerous flowers in tufts. Hum boldt classes it with the pineapple tribe, which, at all events, suggests its superficial nature; Imt Lindley bas placed it with the Agaves in the Amaryllis tribe, and there it remains. The whole appearance of the maguey is for midable. Not every one likes it, but so much the worse for their tastes, for the maguey is nature itself, l'ainters would find it hard to adapt it into their landscapes, yet it makes a fine field, a noble plain, and an interesting Scene, nevertheless. What would Yankee growers of such overgrown grasses as wheat, rye, and corn say to this Azteo giant, one of whose children has more strength than a whole field of corn; whose life is fiiteen years, and never quite dies out tilt it has nourished; Whose stiff leaves and tough blossoms are a posy of the earthquake, or specimens of vol canic coquetry. Journeying in the Apam country, I have come across very large plantations of this pulque plant, or, to speak botanically, the Agava Mexicans. The habitation of the maguey is chielly in the plateau of Anahnao, whereof the City of Mexico , is oapital. The best vineyards of the agave wine are in the famous plains of Apam. One of the largest baoiendas of this country is at Ometusco. Hence it is that I send you my notes of this many-sided vegetable inspired, it may be, with some of its mother-milk, iresh from the tina cual. In a pulque farm the tinacual has the same place relatively as a milk-house has in a dairy. It is a long room, ranged on either side with deep and ample cow skins, set in Wooden frames, into which cow skins are poured the juice of the maguey. The process of extracting and fermenting the pulque is sim ple enough. When the maguey is of ripe age, or when its stalk is about to spring out, its cen tral leaves, forming a. sort of cabbage-heart, are out out. Into the hollow thus made in the middle of the plant aguamiel, or honey water, fitters through as into a large round jar, which has to be emptied twice or three times a day, or the liquor will run over. The tlachiguero, or pulque gatherer, is provided With a long calabash, broad at the bottom, and narrow at the top, and perforated either way. This he broadly inserts into the plant, and applying his mouth to the top, fills his cala bash by suction of air, then lets its contents out into a hog skin, after which he sorapes the hollow of the maguey with a sharp iron, so that its pores may perspire freshly with honey-water. This aguamiel, which has so strong a saccharine principle that sugar is made oat of it, is the infant pulque. Not, however, for some time does it change to the milky color which distinguishes the wine of Agave, and not until it is mixed with some old ferment, and allowed to rest, does it become the pulque which every morning is so much eDjoyed by thirsty bibbers in the pulquerios of the capital. In the tina cual it is passed from hogskin to hogskia, until it reaches the required degree of ferment. The wooden saucer full which the haoiendado gave me was somewhat sweet and thick, with, an exquisite ferment, the like of which is not ' 1 appreciable in the most of liquors. It was ex ceedingly refreshing to thirst and reoreative of it. I did not distinguish that "ancient and fishy-like smell" which a delicate order of travelers describe as hardly bearable, but I Suppose the old liquor of the shops contains more or less of it, without offering, however, to the curious drinker anything which a sensi ble taste will find it impossible to take. The best pulque, though, is not reputed sweet. The mass of it sours upon acquaint ance; but this sourness is combined with an alcohol which stimulates thirst, and thus is pulque maintained in the affections of the people. Tlachique, made out of a wild and immature plant, is esteemed the least of the pulques; pulque fino is the best. Taken in excess the liquor disorders the mind and sours the temper, and accordingly I hear it said that It causes more quarrels proportionably than brandy or beer. Yet this is told of a liquor which seems at first draught a natural milk Wine, harmless as the brew of dandelion. Aloohol, mucilage, sugar, aoetio acid, and .. traoes of lime and potash are found In pulque; nothing seems to convict it of being a poison. To export it is impossible, as fermentation and breakage, or a complete spoil are the results of bottling. ' Some time ago it was said that 60,000 bottles were daily drank - In the city, and this number - quoted as 4 proof of a general sobriety; but I fear the figures are a number of years etale. Juices of pine-apple, Btrawberries, oranges, and other C. fruits are mixed with pulque, and form what are known as oompuestos or composite drinks. Bo much for the manner and disposition of this' remarkable product. Not quite so national in its use as chooolate, it is far more popular in the district of the maguey. If the worst effaots of its habitual drinking are seen in the souriug f visages it is bad enough. Pulque, poverty, ' and "indolence, are very near together, as I - bad oooasion to see in my recent visit to one of the lowest populations of the country. But, though the mixing of pulque with other aloo holized drinks is maddening, the frightful formB of drunkenness are foreign to Mexico. As a fluid accompaniment of the poor Mexl can's every meal, pulque is as much a home drink here as ale and beer are in Europe. About fifty million pounds' weight of pulque are introduced into Mexico annually, and about one quarter of this amount into the , City of FubLla. The value of pulque estates '. is estimated in round numbers at fifteen mil lions. In the year 1858, one hundred and ninety thousand animals passed the garitai of .Mexico laden with pulque. Sinoe that time ti War has followed war; the roads leading to the city Lav been blockaded; at last the city itself has been besieged, and the nectareoua sup plies of a pulqxM-dvinklng population cruelly cut off. " It was no longer ago than during the siege endnred by M1M! mQ& enforced by JVorflrio Diaz that the peopu 0f the Ciudad leal cried out as much from thirst a from hunger. ' liven then the humor of the people bad vent in a well-remembered doggerel, whloh I trans late for you as one of the most instructive facetto of pulque, aud a choice relio of tu. days of topsy-turvey: fcinoe pulque's fallen short, the drinkers only sign: i ' The sbnme-faced dealers offer beer, but still the folks keep dry. The vacant pulqnerlag are plngued with noise leSHceaitb; jVo wonder, since that soul 1 gone, the milky fount of mirth, 'TIs like n graveyard now where once was plsa. tire bong, hi; The people bnve no comfort now since pulqua's fallen short. Early on every morning, King Pnlqne drove blawaln, With all bin mule bells ringing and pleasure id bin train; The donkeys and their drivers were busy once and spry, Cut now they're all so down In the mouth, it makes a toper sigh. The famous good Tlamapa, Omotusoo, Baa Jiartoe, And even Xlachlasoo, are quite gone by the bowl; E'en rbeep Jepnche's very rare and, speaking frankly lie re, Pucberos are no longor made they only odor beer. De'iclonn nectar cheering, old Montezuma's tipple, Brave beverage end merry, bring back your nbowy ripple. Bee in wlmt nuriy humor are those who loved you well: Our hoaxes are In mourning clad, and sad are those that sell. Some of the foregoing names will suggest themselves as hacienda titles describing the most popular sources and kinds of pulque. The style and nomenclature of the pulque shops is still more curious, exhibiting to what heights of poetry and enthusiasm the ready sale of a popular beverage will carry a pros perous dealer. If the alien comer desires to partake a piotia libation, I can reoommend nothing better than the Pulqueria de Kspirito Santo; but if his tastes are wild I advise him to take a pnll at the Anoient Tiger. On the road to Velaseo one gets bad pulque for all that the sign over the shop invites him in so many woid3 to come to Paradise. There was an in spired purque vender in the City of Monte zuma who called his shop the Little Wheel, and effectually ohristened its vats Terrible, Seven-Killer, Ifarly Riser, and Weeper, and, tbongh I cannot fully vouch for it, yet I ven ture to believe that he had three or four pet cocks crowing there ever- hour, as is the custom with dashing pulqiereros suoh as I have seen hard by the Apart country. Pulque is'as old as Popocatapetl. Anahuao was once inhabited by giants, and when the Toltees wanted to get rid of them they feasted them with pulque, and then fell upon them. Bo rnns one legend. But a likelier story is that Xochitl, daughter of Papantzin, discov ered the aguamiel, and presenting it to the Toltee King, won his heart, and subsequently gave him a eon, who was graiefully named Meconetzin, or the Bon of the maguey. Long before the conquest penitents used to whip themselves with the fibers of the plant, and show them bloody to their gods. More than this, the maguey was a sort of ready armory for the warlike Aztecs who rushed into battle "holding in the right hand keen daggers of the iJlc," as Mr. Rca I3ar cena relates in verse. With the fibers, both fine and coarse, of the maguey, the Mexicans of the time of Cortes made dresses, saudals, ropes, whips, slings, shield, and much more, aiidnsed its leaves to tile their roofs. Its ashes made lye; its root soap; its leaves uten sils; its f kin a durable paper, used by their artists in feather and gold. Sugar, pulque, and mescal, they also made from the plant, which was also good as a medicine. Indeed, no radically new use of the maguey has been made by the descendants of the old Aztecs. Its fiber is made into thread, twine, rope, bags, sometimes paper, and the root and under leaves of the plant are used by simple folk for soap and medicine. The famous jenequin fiber of Yucatan comes from the maguey, aud besides pulque, mescal, and aguardiente, are extracted from it. Sugar and vinegar are also among its products. There seems to be no end to the possible uses or the patent resources of this immense plant. In the plains of Apam there are thirty varieties, only a few of which are good for pulque, and the chief of these is the maguey manso, which grows to the height of three meters and a half. The principal maguey grounds are the Llanos de Apam which com prise parts of Mexioo, Puebla Tlasoala; but in the dry and barren parts of Oaxaoa, Queretaro, Guanajuato, Michoacan, Tehuantepeo, San Luis, and Tamaulipas, it may also be found. The famous Apam region contains, according to an authentic statistician, Don Manuel Pay no, no less than six hundred square leagues of cultivated and wild magueys. The maguey de pita yields abundantly the Yu catan jenequin for ship ropes, upon which hand and steam machines are now at work. From the maguey verdi oome the mescal and tequila, one a winish aloohol, and the other a gin, made in Jalisco and Gaulala jara. But by far the best use of the maguey is to be found In its noble fiber. Don Munuel Payno long ago observed that when the rail road from Mexioo to Vera Cruz is completed the Ixtle of Apam plains will bear export ef greater value than the jenequin of Yucatan. Ixtle, a finer fiber, supplying threads for har ness and shoes, was at last data, worth in England, 25 per ton, while jenequin was worth 20. The faot that Senor Payno was onoe Seoretary of the Mexloan Treasury lends an interest to his views. The cultivation of the maguey is simple, and it would almost seem rude. Bdfore the old plant dies it leaves about a family of six or eight. After growing two or three years these are taken out of the ground and stripped, of leaves excepting the three centre ones. By some rancheros they are immediately trans planted in rows sixteen feet apart; by others, allowed to remain out of the ground for seve ral months, and then transplanted, in order to prevent a certain worm entering the plant to kill it, which the worm is supposed to do upon immediate transplanting. Between maguey rows various grains are sown tr the land per mits. No extreme of weather affects the har dihood of the maguey, except when the plant is yielding its own elixir vita. At the end of four years some few baciendadoes prune away the prickles of the plint, and tear out four or five of its leaves to improve, hut I fancy this usage, along with others cenneoted with the plant, Is alke boorish and cruel. The maguey, however, will stand any thing, as witness its uprooting and excision. A maguey takes from 8 to 15 years to arrive at the productive period, and yields liquor from 20 days to G months, and from 1500 to 4000 pounds. Over 2000 magueys can be planted in a caballeria of land, each of them yielding at least $5 profit, so that, aocording to the excellent judgment of Mr. Payne, to whom I am indebted tor many of . the figures, a plantation of magueys gives, at a very low calculation, 80 percent, per 'annum of profit. It is worth noting that on the maguey grows the large yellow worm, eaten as maguey butter by the Indians, and at one time by no less a personage than the Emperor Maxi milian. - - ' -. - -j The magney, is, in fact, an estate in itself. It is a fruitful mother of marvels perhaps altogether the most remarkable plant in the world. What is the value of its milk as a "nourisher in life's feast," is still among the mysteries. Coffee, mate, beer, pulque, wine, mm, aguardiente, tobaooo, opium, hemp, betel, cocoa, and what not, are supposed to supply mankind with a neoessary Lethe, wherein the race steeps itself only to wake up refreshed at last, according to an admirable semi-sophism of the late lion. John A. Andrew. But those who have been graduated quite out of the circumstances of these creature oom forts will doubtless set no priee upon pulque, even if a maguey's heart bits to be taken out to yield it. The plant is to be prized for its mighty sinew, and it would not be wonderful if, over and above its capacity as a wine-bearer, the maguey ho aid yet tarn out to be the greatest resource of Mexico . after mining. Not enough experiment has been tried to de- termine the utmost ntiltty of this world's plant; and along with the sinewy noptl, it still invites the inventor and the. man of en terprise. ...
