The word FAR has two comparatives and two superlatives : 'far - farther - farthest' and 'far - further - furthest'
FARTHER is used as an adjective and an adverb only when you are thinking of the actual distance (=more far). Example - He swam to the farther side of the lake. We can go no farther. (Here, 'further' can be used with this meaning).
Otherwise, FURTHER is the adjective and adverb to use : Lebanon is eager for a further round of talks with Israel. I refused to discuss the matter any further. Every day she sinks further and further into depression.
FURTHER is also used as a verb with the meaning 'help forward' or 'promote'. Example - Communists are no longer able to further the cause of world revolution. Everything he does is designed to further his interests.

Farther measures distance. Further measures time to completion or time away from when you started, as in being further along.
