Keep it out of contact with air and water. This is done by coating the iron, e.g. with grease, paint or red lead, or with a thin plate of another metal like zinc or tin. You can also use sacrificial protection, which involves bolting a block of magnesium on to the iron. The magnesium corrodes in preference to the iron. You can also alloy the iron to make stainless steel.
