little strain, and . if the: patterns are

Neutral iron is an; iron 'between
the extreme red-short and cold-short

"neutrat iron is the best iron for:foun
dry purposes, and furnacernen: - who.
make .a business of manufacturing,
- foundry iron make it' aillointiolmix

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

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

Iron will combine with almi)at,. al

of the sixty-four elements; and'these
elonentS, cpmbined with irons in dif

affinity of one brand of iron for an

cause; they Were using irons that had
no, affinity for each other, and would
pot 'Unite so as-to Torm homogene

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

recommend melting it hot; and as
