The information said James owned the house free of mortgage. It was a farm. Information is on Farm Schedule 1.
[Note: Ancestry.com says the farm schedule for 1900 was destroyed by order of Congress.]

Both James and Elizabeth arrrived in 1881 and had been here 20 years. James was an alien

Did the oldest daughter provide the information? Why is everyone called a brother and sister, not son and daughter?
Where is Archibald, born Oct 1888?
