Usage notes
Some usage guides distinguish farther: and further:, with farther referring to distance, and further referring to degree or time. Others, such as the OED, recommend farther as a comparative form of far and further for use when it is not comparative.

However, most authorities consider the two interchangeable in most or all circumstances, and historically they have not been distinguished.
