Little can be tol.l-.by . looking at an iron in the pig, whether it will run bard or waft when remelted and run into, castings. or whettief tnix with-another brand• of irmk The foundryinan, or an expert, , may by actual teats become acquainted Wth all the iron and ores used in a c.er fain locality, and, by looking at the, iron in the -pig, tiql, very dearly what it will do when run into castings.; . but the beat expert in .the country can tell little or nothing aboutan iron that he has not been-, accustom ed to Workingoitui he - often he deceived in those he has been emus tomed=to, by merely looking at the 'iron in the pie:. "True, he may make 'a good guess. and he may tell wheth er an iron, will run extremely hard or -oft. 'but that is all twat Can be told bx . the looks of'the iron in the pig. It is impossible to qualify the .va .,rionkincls of pi,,; iron brought into the' arket by local.ternis and marks.k It. Would not, after all, be 4)f anyuae, because the.

This iron, When remelted' and'run 'into: a cylinder. head . that • was . nearly two inches thick, was so hard' that it .could not be drilled, yet the iron •in the, pig, was of-a dark gray color with alarge open cryiitali and , to all ap• penance. was a No: . soft fOuridry iron.' This iron. was made , from the same ores , that the furnace" had been using tor years. - In making. a No. 1 • fOtindry iron,- no change had been' made in the mode . of stocking -.the ,furnace, and there was no apparent ertitse . for the change in the - quality of iron. : This furnace, after ,it had been in blast for a alr)rt time, got to Working so badly that it became then cessary - to blow Wont. It was then found that; when putting the furnace in blast, it bad scaffold on one side, which was the cause of the hat d If it. blast furnace, with the . Ore only - on_ one side of it, will change the na ture of iron As this firnace did, then a cupola, 'CO the fire or the Mastok on-one side or it, .wi it change the na ture of iron When:remelted..

Cast irons admit. of a division into three classes add seven grades. The Vireo classes ire: the red-short, the cold-short. and the nentrakon..

Cold-short iron • may -be either hard er soft, and is liable to go to extremes either Way ;Ibyt it neverlireakelfrorn shrinkage when hot. ,- . Neutral iron is an; iron 'between the extreme red-short and cold-short irons: it is. madell mixing the red *and cold-short irons together. A. "neutrat iron is the best iron for:foun dry purposes, and furnacernen: - who. make .a business of manufacturing, - foundry iron make it' aillointiolmix their ores so as to make as -near a neutral irbn as possible. -Yet in some localities one! ore ;may be Chewier .tlitn another. and it may be used - to . excess, which may make an iron in eli ned.to be either red-Shod or OW short, yet not extreme either way. The foundryinan that is using three different brands of iron Amy find 'at times he has two brands of iron in clined to.- be cold-she'd, and One brand inclined to' ,be •extrene cold-short,. Yet one-fourth of the two brands and ' one-half of the third brand, mixed to gethe,, infiy make a' neutral iron .and a good strong, casting ; or by leavin4 out one of the brands, and usinione , . half of each of the other two brands, the, same results may be , attained. The Only practica way to ascertain. whether an iron is either red-shOrt or cold-short is by actual tests' inkmix ing and melting the-iron in .different proportions, and testing the strength and shrinkage: A neutral iron shonld not shrink • more than one-eighth of -an inch to the' foot. Stove ,foundry mien slaind be careftil to nse as near a • neutral iron as possible,\ and tii change their brands of iron as little. as possible; as the changes- of iron makechoege the shrinkatte,.and Will Make trouble in mounting the stoves .r e n much odd plate 'is' kept on I ban . -When new brands of iron are intrt - luct d, test' bars shoOld be made' to asetin the shrinkage,' and .thel differen brands of lion should be va ritd so as to keep- the shrinkage ah near. alike as possible. The same theory may be followed in mixing iron a to, make a soft iron. thus : three - braads of irons, mixed in equal proportions, may make a hard iron, - while any two. of the same brandsoriized in ey al proportioni4, 'may • make a soft iro • . Tests Were in.ole last fall. at Perry-4 Co.'s stove vr..rks' in: Melting the three brands of. 1. ir.,n,. namely: t Crane, H on, and Jagger. . These three . ire *s Were melted at . the rate of fifteen '{ r,,,tent... 'l , rrt of liudson• to eighty - five pere'e t. of Crane and Jagger togethet. his mixture made Ft hard iron. One-thi ,1 of each brand' was. then melts d t,4:, ;ether, and made a, hard iron. One= calf iludsoti , tO one-fourth Crane and Oie-fourth'Jngger were then tried, and, the result wasn hard iron. The Ellualsoin and Crictie 'were then tried together-L-one-half. each—and made a good \ soft iron._ _The Hudson ant Jagger were then tried together— one-lhdf ea.i—and made a good soft iia;n. 'The Crane and Jagger were i then tried together—one ; littlf each,- ''and made a ih. r<i iron:. , Thus the Hudson would n •utraiize either the Crane . or - Jagger v separateiyr but would not neutralize them . when put together in any .proportion. Iron will combine with almi)at,. al . , • of the sixty-four elements; and'these elonentS, cpmbined with irons in dif ferent proportions, will 'destroy . the affinity of one brand of iron for an other;/and foundrymen 7in mixing their:him, \ will generally use equal.: proportions. of all. the branches uf iron that they are using; thus, one- half, tine-third, or one-fourth of each . &rand. 10he castings come hard, they. will reduce the No. '2 and in - !ease the No. iron; and I hai'e of : ten seen . ,foundries that were using all. No.l iion, that were still trou bled With hard iron. was bey cause; they Were using irons that had no, affinity for each other, and would pot 'Unite so as-to Torm homogene ous iron ;.and throwing' out the No: 2 iron giyes only a temporary relief by the excess of carbon in, the No. I ironi cicercoming -the non-affinity Of the irons; and if the N o. 1 iron hap ptned to be &little pOorer, _one day than another, the iron was hard and uneven. I have often seen foundiy men that had one brand of iron in their yard th It they had had on hand for years, and.could not use it; and perhaps the next fourulryman that I would meet would be using that same brand of iron, and could not get along withoat it. This was because the one foundryman wag using other iron as a mix that had an affinity for that pacticulay brand of iron; or the two foundrymea *night be using the same iron as a mix, and mixing them in different, proportions, which pro duced different resells. Two pour irons can often bemixed together so 84 to make a good iron; us is the "case in mixing the 'extreme red-eliort and cold-shortirons, Which forms a ntutral iron that is either the red short or cold-short irony for foundry purposes. In mixing irons, I should recommend mixing them, and . vary ing.the mixture by the local brands or marks, and 'not by the numbefs,of the iron. To make a good- iron, 'at heist Jone-third of No. 2,_ iron 'should be tts.d ; tthl if all No. 2 irons eau bt, used and' make a ; soft jron • t they will make superior eaxtirkg to all No. 1 iron. In meltitig iron I shoultt recommend melting it hot; and as fast as 'possible.' , A quantity of`mol-' ten iron should be , kept in the cupo- la, or in a large ladle, so as to give the different brands of iron aclehaulk to mix."ln most the fouaddes Ist WhWilli West .Vitglais o 'he cu . , • . pOla's are Ile* [stopped from the Shoe-the blept is put "on until the'bet! - 036 is (hopped.
