You can get a little copper thing from the store it that sells fishing gear, and crimp that on. Auchencrow explained this and even sent me a few. The best crimper tool is a Bell Systems tool you can often find on eBay.
Alternately you can get an anchor that bolts a new barrel adjuster to the cable with an eye bolt. Your bike shop should have those. They may prefer to sell you a whole cable kit, which will include one.
